*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.
+ From the HOPEX Aquila version, Process Categories replace Business Processes. The Process Category diagram is a minimalist diagram created to simplify the BPMN Business Process diagram. If need be, you can reactivate the BPMN Business Process diagram with the user option BPMN modeling of process categories available from the Main Menu > Settings > Options > HOPEX Solutions > Business Process Analysis.
Example
This Process Category comes from the APQC's Cross-Industry Process Classification Framework. It shows all the Process Categories linked to a higher rank Process Category.
