Abstract
Described is a method for tracking the status of a workflow. Each step of the workflow is performed by one or more members of the workflow and each member has at least one workflow role. A weblog is generated to track an instance of the workflow and members are assigned to the weblog. An entry is posted in the weblog to indicate the performance of a workflow action, such as the completion of a workflow step or the execution of a workflow exception. The entry can be made directly into the weblog or may be in response to an entry made in a personal weblog. A workflow feed can be provided to an aggregator to permit monitoring of the workflow along with other workflows and weblog entries. Additionally, the viewing of weblog entries can be restricted to a predetermined group of users.
