BPM Methodology

BPM methodology should align with BPM technology

Successful Business Process Management (BPM) projects require not only a robust BPM platform but also an effective BPM methodology through which the platform is leveraged to plan, design, build, monitor, and improve process applications. While insights can be gained from generic process improvement and project management methodologies such as Agile and Lean, in practice it will be most efficient to employ a BPM methodology that derives from and is aligned with the specific BPM platform that you are using. The alternative of trying to map a platform-independent BPM methodology to the modules and functionalities of your particular platform is likely to be complex, cumbersome, and slow.
