Business Process Architecture

​

Overview

​

This 3-day specialised training course provides the foundation for becoming a Business Process Architect.

​

An organisation can be viewed as a network of interrelated processes, a.k.a. business process landscape and global business process model.  Business Process Architecture is the overview of a set of business processes that reveals their interrelations, which may be extended with guidelines to determine the various relations between business processes.

 

Having a business process architecture in place provides guidance for modeling the in-scope business processes.

 

The business process architecture:

  • Describes the functional decomposition of an enterprise value chain

  • Describes the value streams showing chains of cross functional, end-to-end, business processes in the operation of the enterprise’s strategies.

  • Is critical in all business process modeling works, whether the work is for process documentation or process automation.
