Process Modeling Style

__Process Modeling Style__ focuses on other aspects of process modeling beyond notation that are very important to practitioners. Many people who model processes focus on the specific notation used to create their drawings. While that is important, there are many other aspects to modeling, such as naming, creating identifiers, descriptions, interfaces, patterns, and creating useful process documentation. Experience author John Long focuses on those non-notational aspects of modeling, which practitioners will find invaluable. * Gives solid advice for creating roles, work products, and processes * Instucts on how to organize and structure the parts of a process * Gives examples of documents you should use to define a set of processes Content: Front-matter , Pages i,iii Copyright , Page iv Dedication and Thanks , Page v Author’s Information , Page vii Abstract , Page xiii Introduction , Pages xv-xxiv Chapter 1 - Eight of the Biggest Process Modeling Problems , Pages 1-5 Chapter 2 - Selecting a Notation , Pages 6-13 Chapter 3 - Process Modeling Goals , Pages 14-16 Chapter 4 - Defining Processes and Process Elements , Pages 17-20 Chapter 5 - Process Structure , Pages 21-30 Chapter 6 - How to Fix a Bad Workflow , Pages 31-36 Chapter 7 - Naming Conventions , Pages 37-43 Chapter 8 - Identifier Conventions , Pages 44-47 Chapter 9 - Workflow Connections and Relationships , Pages 48-57 Chapter 10 - Roles , Pages 58-60 Chapter 11 - Useful Process Documents , Pages 61-65 Chapter 12 - Tools , Pages 66-68 Chapter 13 - Conclusion: Which Style Elements Are Right for Your Team? , Pages 69-70 Appendix - Using Process Standards , Pages 71-73
