ABOUT THIS SESSION:
The concept of establishing standard methods and notations for modeling processes has been discussed for some time. It was not until the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI) and the Object Management Group (OMG) took on the challenge with the development of BPMN that much traction occurred in the business community. The OMG will soon approve the next release of BPMN 2.0. It has also turned its attention to processes that are less structured than what BPMN is equipped to handle well. The name ‘Case management’ is being used to describe these non deterministic and highly interactive process types. This panel discussion featuring some of the standards developers and influencers, will address these two types of processes in a lively discussion of pro’s and cons and what’s to come.
