Introduction : Process Modeling Methodology

Process Modeling Methodology
Modeling a process can be achieved in several different ways, however the general approach described here reflects best practices.
Task A Define the "As is" Process
1.
2.
3.
Set the appropriate destination environment on the process (this specifies the runtime environment where the process will be executed). This can be done either when first creating the process, or at any time prior to implementation. Setting the destination environment when the process is first created avoids error messages and warnings associated with modeling constructs that cannot be executed in the runtime environment.

Task B Define the "To be" Process (Optional)
This is an iterative exercise in which you:
1.
2.
Task C Define the Business Object Model and Organization Model (Optional)
Define a business object model that defines key business terms specific to your corporate environment (for example, in an insurance environment, a claim, claimant, and so on). This can be used as an analysis tool.
Task D Hand Over for Implementation (Optional)
If the process is to be executed in a BPM environment, you should do the following:
1.
If it has not already been set, set the appropriate destination environment (this specifies the target environment where the process will be executed).
2.
3.
Task E Deployment
Deployment is part of the software development cycle (design, deploy, execute). After preparing the software, some transformation, packaging, physical delivery, configuration and initialization takes place. All of these, some of which may be optional, are aspects of deployment.
For more information about deployment, see the destination-specific implementation guide.
