Abstract: A process creation engine is provided that allows a business to create and model business processes. Users can create business processes using the engine by defining various objects and data flows of the process. The particular objects and data flows of the process, and any proposed changes, can be discussed and voted on using the engine through a portal. The engine can model the process, and any proposed changes, to identify any problems that may result from the proposed changes. In addition, once the process has been approved, the engine can be used to view the statuses of each of the objects of the process in order to determine the overall completion status of the process.
