The document discusses using model-driven engineering to support the business process management lifecycle. It first introduces organizational process definition, which involves creating process models using graphical notations and textual descriptions. It then discusses supporting the business process management lifecycle, which includes design, configuration, enactment and analysis of business processes. Finally, it proposes using modeling standards like SPEM to design process models that can support each stage of the business process management lifecycle.

6. Software Process Engineering
 Software Process It’s a sequence of steps
required to develop or maintain software.
(Humphrey, 1995).
 Software Process: A software process can be
defined as the coherent set of policies,
organizational structures, technologies,
procedures, and artifacts that are needed to
conceive, develop, deploy, and maintain a
software product. (Fugetta, 2000).

18. Business Process Management
 Business Process (BP): It’s a set of activities
that are performed in coordination in an
organizational and technical environment.
These activities jointly realize a business goal.
 Business Process Management (BPM): It
includes concepts, methods, and techniques
to support the design, administration,
configuration, enactment, and analysis of
business processes
