ABSTRACT:
Provided is a system and method for calculating a time duration for a process or portion of a process. A timing interval based upon a single business process view can function regardless of multiple execution process paths. The claimed subject matter separates the business process definition from the execution process definition such that tracking points, which do not depend upon any particular execution process definition, may be inserted into the business process. Also provided is a timing interval calculation based upon two or more tracking points corresponding to a start point of the timing interval and/or two or more tracking points corresponding to an ending point of the timing interval. A user can arbitrarily select timing point within a process and employ those timing points to collect data and populate reports in a manner that is zero-code, i.e. does not require the user to write computer code.
