Abstract

See full text

The subject invention relates to a system and/or methodology that facilitate navigation and monitoring of one or more processes. Within each process, one or more activities or events can be monitored. In particular, navigation through a process can be improved by employing a parameter-based magnification tool. The invention provides for a magnification component that can navigate through aggregations of activities as they relate to one or more processes according to a parameter or metric unit. As a result, a user can view a business process or scheme, for instance, from multiple perspectives at the same time or individually to observe its state or status, trends or patterns, locate problems areas, inefficiencies, or efficiencies within the process, and/or optimize the process or a sub-part thereof.
