Why Model Processes? 
• Understand and analyze current way of working 
• Redesign and improve 
• Use model as a way to implement a standard way 
of working 
• Train new employees 
• Communicate with other groups and external 
entities

Process Modeling Standards 
The Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI) has 
developed a standard Business Process Modeling Notation 
(BPMN). 
• The primary goal: 
– provide a notation that is readily understandable by all 
business users, 
• from the business analysts that create the initial drafts of 
the processes, 
• to the technical developers responsible for implementing 
the technology that will perform those processes, and 
finally, 
• to the business people who will manage and monitor 
those processes.

Basic Process Components 
Processes are: 
A set of Activities and Tasks, which are performed by 
Participants in Roles, organized in a particular Sequence, 
directed and measured by Time and Events / Triggers 
© Grant Thornton LLP. All rights reserved. 
Participants 
People or systems that 
provide input to, or 
perform work steps 
within a process 
Activities / Tasks 
A single unit of work, 
can be performed by a 
person or system 
Roles 
A layer of abstraction 
that creates the link 
between participants 
and activities / tasks 
Events / Triggers 
Occurrences that cause 
a process to start, direct 
a process sequence, or 
cause a process to end 
Time 
Average or desired 
durations for work items 
Sequence 
The logical order in 
which work steps are 
performed
Basic Process Components 
• In order to prevent the need for a VERY large sheet of 
paper, we create a process hierarchy that allows us to 
compartmentalize and focus on specific process segments 
• Our process hierarchy will be the following: 
• Cycle 
• Process 
• Subprocess 
• Activity 
• Task

Basic Process Components 
• A basic set of symbols have been built into the Visio template 
– These symbols are compliant with the Business Process 
Modeling Notation (BPMN) standard, managed and 
supported by the Object Management Group

swimlane
