So What Exactly is Business Process Management?

Business Process Management (BPM) is a systematic approach to discovering, modeling, analyzing, measuring, improving, and automating business processes. It goes beyond workflow management by focusing on complete processes rather than isolated tasks.

BPM transforms how organizations work:

🔍 Process discovery and design:
Identifying how work actually gets done and visualizing ideal workflows

⚙️ Execution and automation:
Implementing changes with technology for consistency and scalability

📊 Monitoring and measurement:
Tracking performance via metrics to evaluate whether processes meet business objectives

🔄 Continuous improvement:
Regularly analyzing data and refining processes to eliminate inefficiencies
