Visual presentation of workflow progress

A method of presenting workflow progress in a workflow diagram, said method performed at least in part by at least one processor and comprising:

• extracting, from at least one data source, data corresponding to at least one element in the workflow diagram;
• determining from the extracted data whether the at least one element is active, completed, or reopened;
• and
• visually presenting the at least one element in the workflow diagram
• by a first format, in response to determining that the at least one element is active,
• by a second format, in response to determining that the at least one element is completed, and
• by a third format, in response to determining that the at least one element is reopened,
• wherein the first through third formats are visually distinctive from each other, and from a fourth format of other elements, which are neither active, completed nor reopened, in the workflow diagram.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

• perform a first algorithm to extract, from at least one data source, data corresponding to a plurality of elements in a workflow diagram, and then
• perform a second algorithm to generate and visually present a graphic user interface (GUI) including the workflow diagram in which
• at least one first element among the plurality of elements of the workflow diagram is visually presented, based on the extracted data, in a first format indicating that the at least one first element is active,
• at least one second element among the plurality of elements of the workflow diagram is visually presented, based on the extracted data, in a second format indicating that the at least one second element is completed,
• at least one third element among the plurality of elements of the workflow diagram is visually presented, based on the extracted data, in a third format indicating that the at least one third element has been completed before and is now reopened, and
• at least one fourth element among the plurality of elements of the workflow diagram is visually presented, based on the extracted data, in a fourth format indicating that the at least one fourth element is neither active, completed nor reopened,
• wherein the first through fourth formats are visually distinctive from each other.
