1. A method for consolidated roadmap generation comprising:

  • identifying a first and a second workflow, wherein the first and second workflow is a sequence of connected steps representing work of a business process, wherein each step of the sequence of connected steps is modeled within a computing environment as an object, wherein the object is at least one of an activity and an event of the business process, wherein the first and second workflow is comprised of a plurality of the object;

    automatically performing a semantic analysis upon the first and second workflow, wherein the semantic analysis compares each object of the first workflow with each object of the second workflow;

    generating an object report associated with the first and second workflow, wherein the object report indicates at least one of a similarity and a difference between each object of the first workflow and each object of the second workflow, wherein the similarity denotes an object of the first workflow is identical to an object of a second workflow, wherein the difference denotes an object of the first workflow is not identical to an object of the second workflow; and

    programmatically consolidating the first and second workflow into at least one consolidated roadmap using the object report, wherein the roadmap is a business process workflow comprising of each unique object of the first and second workflow.
