==Procedures==
* Strategy 
** business reengineering or continous improvement
* Analysis and Design
** [[#As-Is_Analysis|As-Is Analysis]] (bottom-up or top-down) or use of reference model

** Validation 
** Simulation 
** Verification
* Configuration 
** Implementation
** Test
** Deployment
* Controlling 
** Operation
** Monitoring
** Administration
** Maintenance
* Optimization

===Roles===
* Chief Process Officer
* Business Process Expert
* Process Participant
* Business Analyst and Designer: designes the process
* System Architect
* Developer

===Levels of Abstraction===
* Value Chain
* Business Functions (Operations, Marketing and Sales)
* Business Processes (Order Management)
* private (detailed) vs. public processes (only necessary activities to understand the process choreography)
* Activity
* Activity Implementation


===As-Is Analysis===

*Top Down
** Level 1 (less & baisc modelling elements, only subprocesses)


*Start
** How does the process start? (can define if the initiator is a lane or a different pool and can have influence on process KPI like duration, error number or process control?)
** What event triggers it? 
** Is there more than one possible way it could start?

*Activities
** What happens if the activity is not completed within a special time?
** Separation between activities if there is a change of performer, of the processed object or responsibility

*Flow
** How does the process goes from X to Y?
** How do you know X is finished?
** Does X always ends in the same way?
** How does the processor of Y knows about Y?
** Are there circumstances that Z follows after X?
** Are there any exceptional states after X?
** Are there rules that govern the transition from X to Y?
** What's the normal flow (happy path)?


*End
** What determines that the process is complete?
** Are there different end states signifying successful completion or failed or abandoned attempts?

===Modelling/Authoring===
*use labels
*make models hierachical
*use black-box pools for external participants
*label white-box pools with the name of the process, label black-box pools with the participant role
