  • The Process Architect: the Smart Role in Business Process Management
    Redpaper Roland Peisl The Process Architect: The Smart Role in Business Process Management This IBM® Redpaper™ publication describes the concept of business process management (BPM) and specifically focuses on the role of the process architect within BPM. This paper covers in detail how to design business processes and how to enhance those processes for automated business process execution on a BPM platform. It addresses the requirements to successfully drive BPM programs in terms of what process knowledge, methodology, and technology needs to exist or be developed within an organization. Within the context of this paper, the process architect is defined as having the responsibility to model, analyze, deploy, monitor, and continuously improve business processes. This paper defines the role of the process architect as the driver of creating and improving processes and as a key bridge between business and process focused technology. This paper is intended for anyone who is involved in creating and improving BPM within an organization. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2009, 2012. All rights reserved. ibm.com/redbooks 1 Introduction Today, organizations that are facing aggressive market challenges share focus. To be more agile and to react faster to market changes, they must understand business processes better and in more detail. Business processes represent the organization’s key assets. The way a company invents, provides, and controls its core products and services depends on its core business processes. How well these processes can be managed and adapted to market changes is critical and more important than ever. Knowing business processes in detail requires further investigation. People from lines of businesses and from IT must understand the details of their business or IT capabilities.

  • A Framework for Modeling and Maintaining Business Process Models with Variability August 30, 2012
    Final-year thesis A framework for modeling and maintaining business process models with variability August 30, 2012 Author: Supervisor: Wilco Wijbrandi Dr. Alexander Lazovik Second supervisor: Prof. Hans Wortmann Abstract Business Process Modeling is a popular technique for orchestrating Service- Centric information systems. There are cases in which several very similar business process models are in use. Making copies of business process models and adjusting only certain aspects of the models introduces redundancy and makes making general changes to the models difficult and error prone. Business Process Variability techniques solve these issues. The PVDI framework is a framework which does this by combining declarative and imperative techniques. The framework allows users to create abstract models (templates) and concrete derived models (variants). In this thesis we propose a framework which makes the PVDI framework usable in practice. Important aspects of the framework are a graphical editor and a version control system for the business process models. Using this version control system the relation between templates and variants can be tracked and variants can easily be updated to a newer version of the template. We have implemented the framework as a cloud-based web application.

The nervous system of an organization is made up of its processes and rules, and with the speed at which both the business and the workforce are changing, business cannot afford not knowing where they are documented any longer.
