Digital pinboard system

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for project and task management. A user interface may be provided, which may display an individual's identifier along with one or more performance indicators. The performance indicators may include information based on the evaluation of the individual's past performance.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A digital pinboard system for managing a project, comprising:
 a network of node devices each of which provides two or more switchable user interfaces for a user to manage a plurality of tasks associated with a project as a plurality of graphical note representations in a digital pinboard environment,   wherein the plurality of tasks are organized in the digital pinboard environment and wherein each of the plurality graphical note representations is configured to dynamically display one or more performance indicators associated with an assignee of a task corresponding to the graphical note representation; and   a digital pinboard server configured to: (i) automatically update and reorganize the graphical note representations according to a predetermined order or visual arrangement in the digital pinboard environment upon performance of the one or more tasks without action by the one or more assignees and (ii) generate real-time task management information comprising at least the one or more performance indicators for display on the network of node devices.   
     
     
         2 . The digital pinboard system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of node devices is associated with a user-configurable permission level. 
     
     
         3 . The digital pinboard system of  claim 1 , wherein managing the plurality of tasks associated with the project includes adding, removing or editing at least one of the plurality of graphical note representations associated with the tasks. 
     
     
         4 . The digital pinboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the real-time task management information further comprises information obtained in response to the user manipulating the plurality of graphical note representations in the digital pinboard environment. 
     
     
         5 . The digital pinboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the performance indicators are generated based on historical data and real-time user input in the digital pinboard environment.
