These models are used to communicate to the employees what will change and how the change will affect their day-to-day work lives. Some businesses build business process models as part of their transformation initiatives to capture the way they perform their work today and the way they will perform work in the future.
Why do we care about modeling business processes? As you will recall from Chapter 1, business models in general are used for eight purposes: communication, training and learning, persuasion and selling, analysis, managing compliance, as requirements for developing software, executing directly as software, and knowledge management and reuse.Īll eight purposes apply to business process modeling.
