A study designed to examine whether participants were prone to the "small tasks trap" bias and the impact of starting with a smaller task or larger task on overall performance through a task management game. 

The Psychology of Task Management: The Smaller Tasks Trap

Some researchers have used graph theory to create an end-to-end pipeline that creates a dependency graph from unstructured text. It represents subtasks and their time dependencies on each other. It is a way to automate the decomposition process.

Using Graph Theory to Decompose Tasks

Task analysis involves processes that occur before you actually perform a task. Some of these things include listing out your goals for the task, identifying potential obstacles you will encounter, and coming up with strategies to go about performing the task.

The BPM Life Cycle consists of: 
- Process design
- System configuration
- Process enactment 
- Diagnosis

The BPM Life Cycle 

A workflow consists of an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of activity, enabled by the systematic organization of resources into processes that transform materials, provide services, or process information. It can be depicted as a sequence of operations, the work of a person or group,the work of an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms. From a more abstract or higher-level perspective, workflow may be considered a view or representation of real work. The flow being described may refer to a document, service, or product that is being transferred from one step to another. Workflows may be viewed as one fundamental building block to be combined with other parts of an organization's structure such as information technology, teams, projects and hierarchies.

Workflows

Digital tools used to help individuals better organize, analyze, improve, and execute certain processes in their surrounding environment. 

Process Management Technology

Productivity generally refers to the ability of an individual, team, or organization to work efficiently within a given time in order to maximize output. In control management, productivity is a measure of how efficiently a process runs and how effectively it uses resources.
