Context
To classify the processes of your organization, HOPEX Business Process Analysis offers different levels of granularity (by increasing order of detail):
• Process Map
A process map defines the root level in a process landscape. It regroups the process categories the landscape consists of. It serves as an entry point to the process hierarchy.• Process Category
A process category defines a group of processes. It is linked to a Process Map or a higher level Process Category. It regroups several Processes and/or other categorized elements (e.g. Value Streams, Applications). It serves as an intermediate categorization level in the process hierarchy, so as to provide a guided and progressive access to finer grained processes.• Process
A process is a set of operations performed by org-units within a company or organization, to produce a result. It is depicted as a sequence of operations, controlled by events and conditions. In the BPMN notation, the process represents a sub-process from the organizational point of view.
