METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PLANNING AND MONITORING MULTIPLE TASKS BASED ON USER DEFINED CRITERIA AND PREDICTIVE ABILITY

摘要

Individual employees are permitted to be individuals and plan their work as individuals. Individuals are only asked to plan their work within a limited tasking horizon (26). Employees track their progress using verbs (28) that are designed to capture the reasons behind positive and negative predictive ability (30). Verbs are analyzed and expected predictive error, also known as risk, is calculated. Once verbs are captured, they can be analyzed for ways to improve predictive ability. In addition, the risk can be factored into the initial planning stage so as to include an expected predictive error in the initial planning.
