Task management for changes to shared artifacts
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for task management of shared artifacts, comprising:
- detecting a change tag associated with a software artifact;
identifying, via a processor, a plurality of dependent software artifacts that depend upon the software artifact;
generating, for each of the plurality of dependent software artifacts, a task specifying a future modification to the respective dependent software artifact;
determining, via the processor, a responsible party for each of the plurality of dependent software artifacts; and
automatically assigning, for all of the generated tasks for the plurality of dependent software artifacts, a task associated with a particular dependent software artifact to the responsible party associated with the particular dependent software artifact.

Abstract
A method of task management for shared artifacts can include detecting a change tag associated with a software artifact and determining, via a processor, each software artifact that is dependent upon the software artifact. A task associated with each dependent software artifact can be generated. Each task can specify a need for a modification to the associated software artifact. A responsible party for each dependent software artifact can be determined. Each task can be automatically assigned to the responsible party for the software artifact associated with the task.

12. A computer hardware system for task management of shared artifacts, comprising:
at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to initiate and/or perform; detecting a change tag associated with a software artifact; identifying a plurality of dependent software artifacts that depend upon the software artifact; generating, for each of the plurality of dependent software artifacts, a task specifying a future modification to the respective dependent software artifact; determining a responsible party for each of the plurality of dependent software artifacts; and automatically assigning, for all of the generated tasks for the plurality of dependent software artifacts, a task associated with a particular dependent software artifact to the responsible party associated with the particular dependent software artifact. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A computer program product, comprising:
a computer usable storage medium having stored therein computer usable program code for task management of shared artifacts, the computer usable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform; detecting a change tag associated with a software artifact; identifying a plurality of dependent software artifacts that depend upon the software artifact; generating, for each of the plurality of dependent software artifacts, a task specifying a future modification to the respective dependent software artifact; determining a responsible party for each of the plurality of dependent software artifacts; and automatically assigning, for all of the generated tasks for the plurality of dependent software artifacts, a task associated with a particular dependent software artifact to the responsible party associated with the particular dependent software artifact, wherein the computer usable storage medium does not consist of transitory, propagating signals. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
