The organization information allocation unit 102 allocates organization information to the workflow in units of tags (St12).
The statistical information calculation unit 103 calculates statistical information based on the organization information according to at least one tag (St13).
The statistical information output unit 104 outputs the calculated statistical information (St14).

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a workflow corresponding to at least one embodiment of the invention.

A workflow is electronic data representing a given organization in a hierarchical tree structure in which a plurality of tags are interconnected.
In other words, a workflow means a tree-like connection of multiple pieces of tag information.
The workflow is stored in a storage device accessible from computer device 10A.
Examples of such storage devices include storage device 13 or storage device 23 described above.
Alternatively, the workflow may be stored in a storage device accessible from the computer device 10A via the communication network 30 or the like.
In the following description, the term "storage device" shall include these devices.

Workflow WF1 shown in FIG. 4 comprises a plurality of tags T1, T21, T22, T31, T32, T33, T41, T42, and T42.
In embodiments of the present invention, tags are also called workflow tags.
Multiple tags are interconnected to form a hierarchical tree structure.
The workflow registration unit 101 registers the workflow according to the user's input (St11).
Note that registering a workflow may mean generating a workflow or storing the generated workflow in a storage device.

A tag T1 placed at the top of the workflow WF1 is called a root tag or a root workflow tag.
A predetermined organization such as a business department corresponds to the root tag.
The type of predetermined tissue is not particularly limited.
For example, the company itself may be assigned to the root tag, or a sub-organization belonging to the company may be assigned to the root tag.
In FIG. 4, the business department, which is a sub-organization belonging to the company, is assigned to the root tag.

Tag T21 corresponds to distribution, which is one of the tasks belonging to the business department.
The tag T22 corresponds to order packing, which is one of the tasks belonging to the business department.
In this way, a higher-level tag and a lower-level tag may be connected so as to establish a parent-child relationship.
A tag that has no lower-level tags attached to it is called a leaf tag or a leaf workflow tag.
In FIG. 4, tags T22, T32, T33, T41, T42, and T43 are leaf tags.

Although the root tag T1 corresponds to the business department, for example, workflows with other organizations such as the personnel department, marketing department, and IT department as root tags may be registered.
A workflow may be created with the root tag of the company itself, which controls these organizations.
A plurality of workflows having a hierarchical structure according to organizational aspects (private companies, local governments, schools, etc.) and industries (distribution, manufacturers, IT services, etc.) may be registered.
The workflow registration unit 101 may register various workflows corresponding to these various organizations.

Organizational information means any information related to an organization.
The organization information includes, for example, at least one of project information, task information, member information, member's tag access authority information, electronic files, and electronic file location information.

Project information is information about a project carried out by an organization corresponding to the workflow.
The project information may include, for example, the project name, the deadline for completion of the project, KPI, member information participating in the project, electronic files related to the project, or location information of electronic files.
Information other than these may be included as project information.

Task information is information indicating a task to be performed by a predetermined subject.
The predetermined subject may be an organization, a sub-organization, a project team that constitutes a project, a member of an organization, or the like.
Task information includes information such as task name, task author, task completion flag, accumulated time spent on task completion, task completion conditions, task completion date, tools used for task, remarks text, etc. It's okay to be
Information other than these may be included as task information.

Member information is information indicating members belonging to a given entity.
A given subject may be an organization, a sub-organization, a project, a project team that constitutes a project, or the like.
For example, if the predetermined entity is a company, the member may be an employee of the company, or may be a person who has a certain relationship with the predetermined entity, such as a part-time employee.
Member information includes member names, member titles, departments to which members belong, qualifications possessed by members (for example, second-class logistics management, etc., which vary depending on the organization), and the percentage of resources that members can provide to a given entity (business up to 30% of the time), years of affiliation, etc. may be included.
Information about members other than these may be included as member information.

Access authority information for tags is information indicating whether or not a certain member can access each tag included in the workflow.
Details of the access authority information will be described later.

Electronic files mean various electronic data files such as document files, table files handled by spreadsheet software, image files, audio files, moving image files, and installation files for installing predetermined applications.
The electronic file location information means information indicating the location of the aforementioned electronic file.
Examples of location information include file paths when electronic files are managed within an organization, and URLs when electronic files are managed on a network.

The organization information allocation unit 102 allocates organization information to workflows in units of tags.

For example, the organization information allocation unit 102 associates project information related to a project for improving the work flow of warehouse storage work with the tag T31 as organization information and stores it in the storage device.

For example, the organization information assigning unit 102 associates the task information about the task of delivering a predetermined product to the client within two days with the tag T33 as organization information and stores it in the storage device.

For example, the organization information assigning unit 102 associates the member information about the members of the team in charge of the transportation work with the tag T32 as organization information and stores it in the storage device.

For example, the organization information allocation unit 102 associates the electronic data of the management table used in the warehouse storage work or the location information of the electronic data with the tag T31 and stores it in the storage device.

In addition, the organization information allocation unit 102 handles various types of information such as information on attendance of members related to the organization, information on time spent by members on certain tasks, and information indicating the progress of tasks and projects. It may be stored in the storage device in association with the tag to be used.
These information may be included in the organizational information.

Although the organization information allocation unit 102 allocates organization information in units of tags, the number of tags to be allocated is not limited to one.
For example, the organization information assigning unit 102 may associate task information related to both picking up ordered items and accumulating ordered items with tags T42 and T43 and store the task information in the storage device.
FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display device by the workflow management program, corresponding to at least one embodiment of the present invention.
The display screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, for example, when task information is associated with a tag and registered.

FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating setting access authority information according to at least one embodiment of the present invention.

Assume that the workflow WF2 for the organization "design department" consists of five tags T1, T21, T22, T23 and T24.
The design department, which is an organization, corresponds to the root tag T1.
UI design, which is an activity belonging to the design department, corresponds to the leaf tag T21.
Graphic design, which is an activity belonging to the design department, corresponds to leaf tag T22.
Infographics, which is an activity belonging to the design department, corresponds to leaf tag T23.
Motion design, which is an activity belonging to the design department, corresponds to leaf tag T24.

The organization information allocation unit 102 allocates access authority information as organization information to the workflow WF2.
Here, it is assumed that a certain user U1 is an employee who belongs to the design department and is a human resource involved in UI design and motion design.
However, this user U1 is a person who is not involved in graphic design and infographics.
In such a case, the organization information allocation unit 102 allocates the access authority information for the user U1 to the tags T1, T21, and T24 as access authority attribute: accessible.
Further, the organization information allocation unit 102 allocates the access authority information for the user U1 to the tags T22 and T23 as the access authority attribute: no access.

After access authority information has been assigned to each tag as described above, user U1 can access organizational information assigned to any of tags T1, T21, and T24, but not to tag T22. Or the organizational information assigned in association with T23 cannot be accessed.

(Statistical information based on organizational information)
Next, statistical information based on organization information will be described.
Organizational information can include a variety of information.
For example, for members, there is organizational information such as the working hours that the member has spent on a certain task.
As for the task, there is organizational information such as the prescribed duration of the task (scheduled time) and the degree of difficulty of the task (1: difficult/2: normal/3: easy).
For projects, there is organizational information such as the budget set for the project and the budget already used.
Information other than these listed may also be included in organizational information. As the organization conducts activities, organizational information is accumulated in a storage device accessible from the computer device 10A or the workflow management system 100. FIG.

Here, the organization information assigning unit 102 has a function of assigning organization information to a workflow in units of tags.
Therefore, the organization information is directly or indirectly linked to the tags that make up the workflow and stored in the storage device.
For example, task information and tags may be directly associated (see FIG. 5).
As another example, the specified duration of the task is information set for the task, and the task is directly associated with the tag.
Therefore, the specified duration of the task is indirectly tied to the tag.

The statistical information calculation unit 103 calculates statistical information by aggregating information that is directly or indirectly associated with a tag, among the organization information accumulated in the storage device, using the tag as a key. can be done.
That is, the statistical information calculation unit 103 calculates statistical information based on organizational information according to at least one of the tags.
Then, the statistical information output unit 104 outputs the calculated statistical information.
Although the output form of the statistical information is not limited, the statistical information output unit 104 outputs the statistical information in the form of graphs, tables, or the like to the display device, and the display device displays the graphs, tables, or the like.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing a first output example of statistical information, corresponding to at least one embodiment of the present invention.

The first output example corresponds to the consumption time for each task.
The workflow management system 100 measures the time spent by a predetermined entity related to the organization, that is, the consumption time, as organization information, and stores it in a storage device.

The number of tasks by tag and the total time spent are displayed. The statistical information calculation unit 103 narrows down and aggregates the information on the consumption time based on the period to be analyzed (1 week, 1 month, 1 year, etc.), project, workflow hierarchy, and tag.
Note that the statistical information calculation unit 103 may aggregate the consumption time for one member, or may aggregate the total consumption time for all members belonging to the project.
The statistical information output unit 104 outputs the calculated statistical information (St14).
From the output example shown in FIG. 7, it can be read that there are three tasks linked to the tag 001, and the weekly consumption time for these three tasks is 30 hours and 20 minutes.

If the statistical information about the time spent by one member is output, the member can grasp the distribution of the time they are allotted to their work. Useful suggestions can be read from statistical information, such as checking whether it is available.
In addition, the manager can grasp the bias of the tasks assigned to the members from the statistical information.
The manager can also use the statistical information as material for judging the member's strengths and weaknesses.

If statistical information about the total time consumed by all members belonging to the project is output, the manager of the project can grasp the time consumed for the project, so whether the project is progressing according to the plan. can be confirmed.

It is possible to grasp useful suggestions from the output statistical information while also considering the position of the task in the workflow.

FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing a second output example of statistical information, corresponding to at least one embodiment of the present invention.

The second output example corresponds to the delay time for each task.
The workflow management system 100 measures the time spent by a predetermined entity related to the organization, ie, the consumption time, as organization information and stores it in a storage device.
In addition, a specified required time (scheduled time) for the task is set for the task.
For example, if the stipulated time required per person per week for task A is set to be 2 hours, and the member spends 2 hours and 20 minutes in 1 week to accomplish the task, the delay time is 20 minutes.

The statistical information calculation unit 103 narrows down and aggregates the information on the consumption time based on the period to be analyzed (1 week, 1 month, 1 year, etc.), project, workflow hierarchy, and tags.
Note that the consumption time of one member may be aggregated, or the total consumption time of all members belonging to the project may be aggregated.
The statistical information calculation unit 103 refers to the specified required time set for the task, and responds based on the period to be analyzed (1 week, 1 month, 1 year, etc.), project, workflow hierarchy, and tag. Calculate the prescribed time.
Note that the specified required time calculated by the statistical information calculation unit 103 varies depending on the number of members involved.
Then, the statistical information output unit 104 outputs the calculated statistical information in a format that enables comparison between the prescribed required time (scheduled time) and the actual consumed time (required time) (St14).
A format capable of comparing the prescribed required time and the actual consumed time may be, for example, two broken lines shown in FIG. 8, or numerical display of required time and delay time.
Further, the statistical information output unit 104 may cause the display device to display the number of delayed tasks for each tag in the selected hierarchy and the total delay time in a format such as a pie chart for delayed tasks.

Members and managers can compare scheduled and required times for tasks.
This allows members and administrators to grasp the strengths and challenges of members or projects to which they belong, the impact of one delay on other tasks, etc., while also considering the position of the task in the workflow.
In addition, it is possible to easily grasp in which part of the entire workflow there is a deviation between the plan and the actual result, and it is possible to contribute to the formulation of an improvement plan.

In addition, tags can be used as one of search keys when analyzing various types of information.
For example, when a member or administrator wants to obtain some knowledge by comparing a certain task A with another task similar to task A, the computer device 10A associates information to be searched with the same tag. It is possible to search for similar tasks after narrowing down to the tasks that are included.
Note that the search key for searching for similar tasks is not limited to tags.
For example, a keyword included in task information may be used as a search key.

The search range of similar tasks by the computer device 10A may or may not be limited to tasks for one organization.
For example, the computer device 10A uses not only the tasks included in the workflows registered for the organization X with the workflow registration unit 101, but also the tasks included in the workflows registered for organizations other than the organization X. You can search for similar tasks.
Then, the workflow registration unit 101 can set various types of information associated with the similar tasks extracted by the search as initial values for another task, and then register the other task as part of the workflow. .
At this time, the workflow registration unit 101 does not transcribe information subject to access restrictions, such as confidential information of other organizations, as an initial value, and does not set it as an initial value when the workflow for organization X is registered. can also

In addition, the computer device 10A can refer to tags corresponding to workflows for other organizations and utilize the referenced tags for registering workflows for organization X. FIG.
Utilization means, for example, transferring tag information to another tag.

FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing a third output example of statistical information, corresponding to at least one embodiment of the present invention.

The third output example corresponds to budget versus expenses.
The computer device 10A preliminarily registers, in the storage device, the hourly wage of each member of the organization and information indicating the budget for projects and tasks belonging to the organization.
This registration work can be performed, for example, by an organization administrator, a project manager, or the like by operating the computer device 10A.

In addition, the computer device 10A measures the work time for each task of each member of the organization and registers it daily in the storage device.

The statistical information calculation unit 103 aggregates budgets and expenses based on predetermined aggregation items.
Examples of summary items include projects and tasks. Aggregation may be, for example, aggregation by tag.

The statistical information output unit 104 outputs the calculated budget and expenses in the form of a line graph, for example, to the display device, and the display device displays a graph, table, or the like.
FIG. 9 shows a graph output by the statistical information output unit 104 showing the transition of the budget and expenses for a certain task over a period of one month.
Employees 001 and 002 are persons in charge of the task.

By doing so, the user can confirm the difference between the planned budget and the actual expenses.
In addition, the user can confirm the date on which there is a gap between the budget and the expenses, and the location affected by the gap.

In addition, since tags are associated with tasks, it is possible to aggregate and visualize the costs for each task based on the business processes of the organization in which the workflow is registered.
Therefore, the user can easily obtain information that can be used to improve business.

As one aspect of the embodiment, information related to an organization can be structurally visualized and managed.

As one aspect of the embodiment, various organizational information such as project information, task information, member information, member's tag access authority information, electronic files, and electronic file location information are stored in each tag structured as a workflow. can be managed by linking to

In one aspect of an embodiment, statistical information based on tags can be output.
Here, since the tags are structured as a workflow, the member or manager can obtain knowledge while considering the position of the statistical information in the organization's workflow.

As described above, the embodiments of the present application solve one or more problems.
In addition, each effect by embodiment is an example of a non-limiting effect or effect.

In the embodiment described above, the user terminal 20 and the server 10 execute the various processes described above according to various control programs (for example, workflow management program) stored in the storage device.
