With advances in software design, the vision of BPM models becoming fully executable (and capable of simulations and round-trip engineering) is coming closer to reality. In practice, a management decision to invest in business process modeling is often motivated by the need to document requirements for an information technology project.Ĭhange management programs are typically involved to put any improved business processes into practice. The business objective is often to increase process speed or reduce cycle time to increase quality or to reduce costs, such as labor, materials, scrap, or capital costs. Alternatively, the process model can be derived directly from events' logs using process mining tools. BPM is typically performed by business analysts, who provide expertise in the modeling discipline by subject matter experts, who have specialized knowledge of the processes being modeled or more commonly by a team comprising both. Example of business process modeling of a process with a normal flow with the Business Process Model and Notationīusiness process modeling ( BPM) in business process management and systems engineering is the activity of representing processes of an enterprise, so that the current business processes may be analyzed, improved, and automated.
