Task Architect: Tools for designing complex software
If you’ve got a complex UI to architect – you know that organizing, prioritizing, and updating tasks can be daunting. This is especially challenging when many use cases intersect, or have dependant behaviours. Task Architect – an Ottawa company specializing in designing human factors tools has the solution in its task analysis software.
The latest .net version allows you to enter, track and reorganize tasks on the fly. It lets you map those tasks to a timeline. It produces hierarchal groups of tasks in easy to print flow charts. You can export this stuff out and create reports, and even specify goals.
This solution is perfectly suited to the initial planning phase of task analysis: collection, organization, and analysis for large, complex applications. It wouldn’t be much use for your 1-page web 2.0 gem…
My wish list for TA would include the ability to view a cluster map of all the interrelated tasks.
BTW – One of the co-founders of Task Architect is Dick Penn – my first UI mentor at BNR 20 years ago.
