The disclosed principles provide for a unique and inventive iterative and interactive project management process implemented for organizations, typically large ones, to manage an overall project being originally implemented or newly created by the organization. Processes in accordance with the disclosed principles are interactive in that they employ the end-user employees of the organization by having those employees both input and update, on periodic cycles, information or data of the same type their positions in the organization allow them to be familiar with, and furthermore employ team-management level review and processing of such information/data, along with one or more supervisors of the overall project, which is/are not required to be part of the organization, to implement and supervise the disclosed process. The disclosed principles are also unique in that they provide for a process that employs the functional and advantageous features of both project management software and spreadsheet software products.

A system for updating a hypercube includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to update a cell of the hypercube. The processor is configured to determine a primary dimension value associated with the cell; determine a group of dependencies based at least in part on the primary dimension value, wherein a dependency of the group of dependencies comprises one or more primary dimension values and a pattern; for the dependency of the group of dependencies, determine a set of source locations based at least in part on the one or more primary dimension values and the pattern; and mark the set of source locations as invalid.

A spreadsheet supports formulas in cells that trigger queries of a data source. The parameters for queries can include or depend on values in other cells in the spreadsheet. Thus, the precise query submitted to the data source is dynamic, being dependent on the data and formulas in the spreadsheet. Furthermore, on receiving the query results, they are added to cells in the spreadsheet, which can be parameters for other queries defined in other cells. Changing the value of a single cell can automatically trigger an update of an arbitrarily deep hierarchy of calculations that can include an arbitrary number of data source queries.

A virtual agent instructs a responding person to perform specific verbal exercises. Audio and image inputs from the responding person's performance of the exercises are used to identify speech, video, cognitive, and/or respiratory biomarkers, which are then used to evaluate speech motor function and/or neurological health. Contemplated exercises include test aspects of oral motor proficiency, sustained phonation, diadochokinesis, reading speech, spontaneous speech, spirometry, picture description, and emotion elicitation. Metrics from evaluation of the responding person's performance are advantageously produced automatically, and are presented in spreadsheet format.

A system includes a memory storing computer-readable instructions and at least one processor to execute the instructions to receive a shot sheet comprising data and metadata associated with an animation project, parse the shot sheet to generate instructions associated with at least one shot in the animation project, send the instructions to an animation program using an application programming interface (API), generate the animation project based on the instructions using the animation program, render the animation project into a video, and store the video in a database and generate a uniform resource locator (URL) for the video.

Natural gestures for interacting with spreadsheet documents are provided. A user may interact with a spreadsheet document using a variety of touch-based gestures. Gestures applied to a spreadsheet document may be used for making structural and display changes to the document. For example, gestures may be used on the spreadsheet document for inserting new columns and rows; for revealing hidden columns and rows; for deleting columns and rows; for extending functionalities across columns and rows; for moving objects displayed in a spreadsheet document; and for navigating various parts of a spreadsheet document.
