Abstract
A method includes identifying one or more processes presented on a display of a given client device and determining a complexity of at least a given one of the one or more processes, wherein determining the complexity of the given process comprises determining a number of tasks of the given process. The method also includes generating a given visual indicator of the complexity of the given process, the given visual indicator comprising a shape with a number of features based on the number of tasks of the given process. The method further includes providing the given visual indicator for presentation on the display of the given client device in association with the given process. The given visual indicator may further comprise at least one of a color blend and a pattern blend, the color or pattern blend being based on colors or patterns associated with tasks of the given process.
