Abstract
Business Process Modeling (BPMo) is a collaborative task involving different groups of specialists including business analysts, solution architects and system developers. They work on different levels of abstraction and collaborate to create a set of different but related artifacts, from business requirements and high-level process specifications to executable models. A critical activity in BPMo is managing consistency among these artifacts. Successful consistency management requires understanding the key needs and collaboration patterns of the stakeholders and the complex relations among the artifacts. This discussion seeks to identify some of the key focus areas that must be considered in order to ensure consistency.
