Abstract
Embodiments provide systems and methods for planning or monitoring system transformations. One embodiment of a method for planning or monitoring the transformation of a system includes developing one or more states, each state representing a system and associated with data structures representing entities comprising the system, wherein the states are ordered in a succession of states to form a scenario modeling the transformation of the system. States can be populated by reflecting one or more data structures or properties of data structures across one or more states. The method can further include collecting data associated with the system at intervals and reflecting the collected data across states. Data structures may be contained in a repository and collected data may be used to update the repository and data structures contained in the repository. A modeling tool may be utilized to display data structures in the repository according to different representations.
