US 2023/0069374 A1 · SOFTWARE TOOL INTEGRATION

Abstract

Techniques are described herein for implementing and using a project management interface software tool configured to integrate and bind together multiple additional software tools and provide a single engagement layer. In various examples, the project management interface may provide users (e.g., individual contributors such as designers, developers, project managers, etc.) with alignment and focus, by serving as a single source of updated and accurate project data across all of the multiple underlying tools. The project management interface also may improve user functionality and leverage by providing deep integrations and cross-tool interoperability. The project management interface described herein also may improve ergonomics by providing a consistent and uniform user experience, and building on the backend technologies of the underlying tools rather than replacing those tools.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving a first data object of a first object type, from a first software tool, based on a least in part on a user identifier or project identifier;
receiving a second data object of a second object type from a second software tool, based on a least in part on a user identifier or project identifier, wherein the second software tool is different from the first software tool and the second object type is different from the first object type;
generating a first task component object based at least in part on the first data object;
generating a second task component object based at least in part on the second data object;
and
generating and presenting a user interface view comprising a uniform object listing, the uniform object listing including the first task component object and the second task component object.

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first data object of a first object type, from a first software tool, based on a least in part on a user identifier or project identifier;
receiving a second data object of a second object type from a second software tool, based on a least in part on a user identifier or project identifier, wherein the second software tool is different from the first software tool and the second object type is different from the first object type;
generating a first task component object based at least in part on the first data object;
generating a second task component object based at least in part on the second data object;
and
generating and presenting a user interface view comprising a uniform object listing, the uniform object listing including the first task component object and the second task component object.

6 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first data object of a first object type, from a first software tool, based on a least in part on a user identifier or project identifier;
receiving a second data object of a second object type from a second software tool, based on a least in part on a user identifier or project identifier, wherein the second software tool is different from the first software tool and the second object type is different from the first object type;
generating a first task component object based at least in part on the first data object;
generating a second task component object based at least in part on the second data object;
and
generating and presenting a user interface view comprising a uniform object listing, the uniform object listing including the first task component object and the second task component object.
