AGILE WORKFLOW MODELING AND EXECUTION BASED ON DOCUMENT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- accessing a pre-process workflow document including a plurality of document portions, the pre-process workflow document being configured to store data pertinent to a workflow;
accessing a tactical goal data structure representative of a tactical goal pertinent to the workflow, the tactical goal data structure corresponding to a task data structure that models a business process pertinent to the workflow;
accessing business process data resultant from the business process pertinent to the workflow;
modifying a document portion of the plurality of document portions based on the task data structure and based on the business process data; and
generating a post-process workflow document based on the pre-process workflow document and based on the modified document portion, the generating of the post-process workflow document being performed by a processor of a machine.

Abstract
A workflow document processing machine supports agile modeling and agile execution of a workflow that comprises tasks, one or more of which may be dynamically added, changed, or identified during execution of the workflow. The workflow document processing machine accesses a pre-process workflow document, a tactical goal data structure, and business process data resultant from execution of a task pertinent to the workflow. The workflow document processing machine modifies a document portion based on the task data structure and on the business process data. Based on the pre-process workflow document and on the modified document portion, the workflow document processing machine generates a post-process workflow document, which may be accessed as a pre-process workflow document by another machine.

16. A system comprising:
-
an access module configured to; access a pre-process workflow document including a plurality of document portions, the pre-process workflow document being configured to store data pertinent to a workflow; access a tactical goal data structure representative of a tactical goal pertinent to the workflow, the tactical goal data structure corresponding to a task data structure that models a business process pertinent to the workflow; and access business process data resultant from the business process pertinent to the workflow; and a hardware-implemented document module communicatively coupled to the access module and configured to; modify a document portion of the plurality of document portions based on the task data structure and based on the business process data; and generate a post-process workflow document based on the pre-process workflow document and based on the modified document portion. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform a method comprising:
-
accessing a pre-process workflow document including a plurality of document portions, the pre-process workflow document being configured to store data pertinent to a workflow; accessing a tactical goal data structure representative of a tactical goal pertinent to the workflow, the tactical goal data structure corresponding to a task data structure that models a business process pertinent to the workflow; accessing business process data resultant from the business process pertinent to the workflow; modifying a document portion of the plurality of document portions based on the task data structure and based on the business process data; and generating a post-process workflow document based on the pre-process workflow document and based on the modified document portion.
