Fellow Workflow Gurus,
I came across a great resource on Workflow Modeling that I want to share
with the group. The book is titled, "Workflow Modeling, Tools for Process
Improvement and Application Development" by Alec Sharp and Patric McDermont.
Artech House Publishing at www.artechhouse.com .
The authors hit on the approach, framing the process, conducting initial
assessments, considering the environment, swim line diagrams, techniques for
modeling the as-is process, characterizing the to-be process and use case
scenario analysis.
This text has helped me to become a more effective Workflow consultant as I
am more prepared to walk into a process meeting and tear apart the processes
and get business owners to realize the difference between "workflow" and
business process. Once we nail down the "to-be" processes, the final
workflow definition and modeling was more effective and also turned the
weight of the process definitions back on the business owners.
Regards,
