What's the difference between BPM and Monitor Views?
BPM is for business process visibility (organized by workflow, domains, and business steps), while Monitor Views are for technical operational monitoring (organized by technology, application, and system health).
Key Differences

---|---|---|
Audience | Business analysts, process owners, executives | IT operations, DevOps, system administrators |
Organization | Business workflows with domain swimlanes | Technical groupings by application/category |
Focus | End-to-end process flow and milestones | Service health, performance metrics, alerts |
View | Horizontal swimlanes showing process steps | Hierarchical tree of resources and services |
Use Case | "Where is Order 12345 in the fulfillment process?" | "Is the Inventory API service healthy?" |
