BusinessProcess
A Business Process is an abstract idea that describes some aspect of a business in terms of discrete steps, or actions, or events, that are followed in the process.
The idea is that an identifiable process can be broken down into small steps. WorkFlow is a tool used to analyze a business process. WorkFlow tools create status reports and notifications (usually by email) to managers who are monitoring the BusinessProcess. Two types of syntax are used in naming business processes. For high-level processes, the syntax is "object-action" using a noun form followed by a verb form, where the verb takes the form of a present participle (ends in "ing"), e.g., "Product Ordering." For lower-level processes, the syntax is "action-object," where the verb takes the form of an imperative or command to do something, e.g., "Identify Product."
Source BusinessProcessReengineering (BPR?) critically examines, rethinks, and redesigns mission-delivery processes and subprocesses to make a business more efficient. BPML is a BusinessProcessModelingLanguage. The WorkFlow Management Coalition (WFMC) has developed a related language called Wf-XML (Workflow XML).
