Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing a graphical representation of a business process. According to one embodiment, a method for providing a user-relevant view of a business process can comprise reading a definition of the business process. A determination can be made as to whether a milestone in the business process is relevant to an end user of the business process based on a set of pre-defined milestones for the business process. In response to determining the milestone in the business process is relevant to the end user a visualization of the business process can be generated that includes the milestone. In response to determining the milestone in the business process is not relevant to the end user, a visualization of the business process can be generated that does not include the milestone.
