A plurality of user interface layouts may be generated based on a first user interface layout, where the first user interface layout is associated with a task included in a process of a computer-implemented software application. One or more performance metrics associated with each user interface layout of the plurality of user interface layouts may be monitored, where the one or more performance metrics characterize a performance of the task by one or more task users. A second user interface layout may be selected based on an analysis of the one or more performance metrics. The second user interface layout may be provided to a plurality of users of a computer-implemented software application. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: dynamically rendering, by a server computer, user interface layouts of an application, the application used by users to perform a process, the process having tasks, the user interface layouts associated with a task in the process;
