The present invention provides a means of monitoring the progress of an IT implementation of a process or activity through a defined set of situation types and event objects corresponding to said situation types whereby, if the IT implementation of the process or activity is changed, provided the event objects corresponding to the defined situation types are still generated by the new IT implementation or are able to be derived from the new IT implementation through mapping and/or the instrumentation of new events, the monitor is able to receive or retrieve said event objects and thus perform its monitoring function. This has the advantage of de-coupling the monitor from the specific IT implementation of the process or activity and thus allows a generic monitoring solution to be provided.
A method of monitoring the implementation of a process by an information technology (IT) system, comprising the steps of:
A monitor for an IT system for monitoring the implementation of a process by an information technology (IT) system, comprising;
An IT system for implementing a process, said system comprising:
(canceled)
A computer readable medium comprising computer code means for implementing monitoring the implementation of a process by an Information Technology system, the computer readable medium comprising:
