Visual task board visualization

An apparatus for operating a window region of a graphical user interface in an aggregation mode, comprising:

• a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory to:
• identify a visual task board information set that comprises a plurality of records, wherein each record comprises at least one information element of a plurality of information elements from the visual task board information set;
• identify an information element of the plurality of information elements as a visualization metric, wherein a plurality of available visualization metric values is associated with the visualization metric, wherein the visualization metric values comprise a task priority metric;
• identify an aggregation mode based on the visualization metric;
• generate a graph based on the aggregation mode, wherein the graph comprises a plurality of graph portions, wherein each graph portion represents a respective available visualization metric value of the plurality of available visualization metric values;
• generate a plurality of vertical lanes based on the visualization metric, wherein each vertical lane of the plurality of vertical lanes corresponds with a respective available visualization metric value of the plurality of available visualization metric values, wherein generating each vertical lane of the plurality of vertical lanes comprises generating a plurality of cards based on the visual task board information set, wherein each card of the plurality of cards represents a record of the plurality of records that comprises an information element that has a value that corresponds with the respective available visualization metric value that corresponds with the vertical lane, wherein the plurality of vertical lanes are ordered based on the task priority metric, and wherein a width of each vertical lane of the first plurality of vertical lanes is based at least in part on the task priority metric;
• and
• output for display a representation of the visual task board information set that comprises the plurality of vertical lanes overlaid on the graph.

A computer-implemented method for operating a window region of a graphical user interface in an aggregation mode, comprising utilizing a processor for:

• identifying a visual task board information set structured in a memory that comprises a plurality of records, wherein each record comprises at least one information element of a plurality of information elements from the visual task board information set;
• identifying an information element of the plurality of information elements as a first visualization metric;
• generating a first plurality of vertical lane display regions of a graphical user interface window structured as lanes based on the first visualization metric, wherein the first visualization metric comprises a task priority metric, wherein the first plurality of vertical lane display regions are ordered based on the task priority metric, and wherein a width of each vertical lane of the first plurality of vertical lanes is based at least in part on the task priority metric;
• generating a respective card display region for each of the first plurality of vertical lane display regions of the graphical user interface window, wherein each card display region comprises at least one card representing at least one respective record of the plurality of records;
• including each card display region in its respective vertical lane display region of the first plurality of vertical lane display regions;
• generating, by the processor in response to instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium, an output for display, wherein the output comprises the first plurality of vertical lane display regions with their respective card display regions;
• and
• transmitting the output via a graphical user interface output interface or storing the output in the memory.
