4 Today s Speakers iero Donat Web Marketing Specialist Marco Turchetto Support Engineer Alessandro Turco roject Manager Dario Campagna Agile Coach

5 rocess or roject? B BM BeeMN

6 rocess or roject? B BM roject defined by: Fixed time Scope Resources roject s goal: Execute change Incorporate it into the day-to-day processes of the company BeeMN

7 rocess or roject? B BM BeeMN rocess: An entire set of activities that start with a triggering event and end with some output being delivered From Business Analysis (3rd Edition) by Debra aul, James Cadle and Don Yeates, published by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT

8 rocess or roject? B BM BeeMN rocess Defined by cycles Similar to a project Has a beginning, middle and end Cycle repeats itself over an average period of time

9 Business rocess B BM BeeMN

10 Business rocess B BM A linked set of tasks performed by a business in response to a business event. The business process receives, manipulates and transfers information or physical items, in order to produce an output of value to a customer. BeeMN From Business Analysis (3rd Edition) by Debra aul, James Cadle and Don Yeates, published by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT

11 Business rocess B BM BeeMN...in a few words: a series of steps performed by a group of stakeholders to achieve a concrete goal

12 Business rocess B BM Finite Repeatable Creates value Flexibility BeeMN

13 Business rocess Management B BM BeeMN A discipline involving any combination of modeling, automation, execution, control, measurement and optimization of business activity flows, in support of enterprise goals, spanning systems, employees, customers and partners within and beyond the enterprise boundaries. "What is BM? - Workflow Management Coalition". wfmc.org

14 Business rocess Management B BM...in a few words: BM focuses on improving corporate performance by managing business processes BeeMN

15 Business rocess Management B BM BeeMN BM activities: Design Model Execute Monitor Optimize

16 Business rocess Management B BM BeeMN rocess design includes: Identification of existing processes ( as is ) Design of to-be processes Areas of focus: rocess flow and its factors Alerts and notifications Escalations Standard operating procedures Service level agreements Task hand-over mechanisms

17 Business rocess Management B BM Modeling takes the theoretical design and introduces combinations of variables BeeMN

18 Business rocess Management B BM BeeMN Execution is broadly about enacting a discovered and modelled business process. This can be done: Manually Automatically With a combination of manual and automated business tasks

19 Business rocess Management B BM Monitoring Tracking of individual processes Improving processes to work with customers and suppliers rocess mining BeeMN

20 Business rocess Management B BM Optimization Retrieving process performance information Identifying bottlenecks and cost savings Applying enhancements to design process BeeMN
