Business Process Management (BPM) and its Importance
- BPM is a systematic approach to make an organization's workflow effective, efficient, and responsive to a changing environment.
- It is a management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of clients.

Different Types of BPM
Human-Centric BPM
- Processes that are primarily executed by humans.
- Focuses on the needs and perspectives of human beings.
- Features include better flexibility and adaptability, faster responses to events, and ability to reassign work.
Document-Centric BPM
- Enables routing, formatting, verifying, and getting documents signed as tasks pass along the workflow.
- Optimizes and improves work processes by understanding the document flow that people use in their tasks.

- Focuses on integrating organization-wide business software with department-specific solutions.
- Features include software applications and systems integrated using APIs or other integration technologies.
BPM Life Cycle
- The five steps of the BPM lifecycle are design, model, execution, monitoring, and optimization.
- Design: outlining the milestone within the process, identifying areas for process optimization, and metrics to track improvements.
- Model: fixing details like deadlines and conditions, creating a visual representation of the process model.
- Execution: executing the process by testing it live with a small group, conducting a proof of concept.
