Business process engineering (BPE) involves analyzing and improving organizational processes to enhance productivity, efficiency, and reduce costs, often conducted by consultants. Successful BPE requires strategic planning, an understanding of business needs, and effective change management while being wary of common pitfalls like lack of follow-up or complexity. The process focuses on optimizing workflows and can involve automating tasks to improve overall operational effectiveness.

Business process in software engineering
• A business process refers to a collection of linked activities that
produce a service or product for a client. Typically, a business process
is represented as a flowchart that depicts the life cycle of the process.
• Product owners often carry out business process modeling to
optimize business performance, operations, and management.

represented by a business process and identify possible changes that
can lead to greater efficiency in the activities associated with the
development of the product or service.

Benefits
• Business process models deliver the following benefits
• Identify and remove redundant activities.
• Improve communication throughout the workflow.
• Remove bottlenecks in the workflow to maximize efficiency in
product delivery.
• Testing guidelines can be drawn up by non-technical staff. Later,
these guidelines can be used to develop User Acceptance Tests.
