Distributed worker-sourced process engineering

A method executed by a system for distributed worker-sourced process engineering comprising:

• allowing a worker to provide process statements to the system that indicate a local process portion that the worker performs, wherein the process statements are in a human-friendly, textual language that is based on a business process standard and a natural language;
• concurrently with the worker providing the process statements, verifying the process statements and providing suggestions to the worker to aid the worker in entering the process statements, wherein the verifying includes comparing the process statements to process statements provided by other workers to determine inconsistencies;
• automatically assembling an overall or global process or process portion based on the process statements of the worker and process statements of other workers;
• and
• providing the overall of global process or process portion to an analyst for review.

A machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by at least one processor of a system for distributed worker-sourced process engineering, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:

• instructions to allow a worker to directly provide process statements to the system that indicate a local process portion that the worker performs;
• instructions to dynamically verify the process statements of the worker as the worker provides them to aid the worker in entering the process statements, wherein the dynamic verification is based on checks for consistency between the process statements and process statement of other workers;
• instructions to automatically assemble an overall or global process or process portion based on the process statements of the worker and process statements of other workers;
• and
• instructions to provide the overall or global process or process portion to an analyst for review.
