This page presents process management articles. Organizations operate through defined processes. Processes transform inputs into outcomes. They shape daily organizational work. Poor management causes inefficiencies and waste. Process management analyzes and optimizes. It designs, executes, and monitors. Workflows improve through continuous adaptation. Bottlenecks and resources are examined. Streamlined operations boost productivity significantly. Articles here deepen process management knowledge.
When I began modeling processes, I quickly learned that defining the what isn’t enough. I also needed to show the who. That’s why I love using BPMN Lanes in Camunda. Lanes help assign tasks to the right person, department, or system. They make process models readable and practical. In this post, I’ll show you exactly how to use them—step by step—with a clean, minimal example.

Before any process can be automated, monitored, or improved, it must first be understood. That’s why the design and analysis phase is the foundation of the business process lifecycle. In this five-part series, I guide you through every stage of the lifecycle. We begin with design and analysis — the phase where everything starts. It allows me to map out processes, understand stakeholder needs, and prepare for implementation.

When I first looked into process optimization, I focused too much on individual steps. I would fix issues inside departments but miss the bigger picture. Then I learned about the end-to-end process. That changed everything. Suddenly, I wasn’t just looking at isolated tasks. I was looking at full customer journeys. From the first touchpoint to the final outcome. This article shows you why end-to-end processes matter and how they connect your entire organization — front to back.

When I started working with business processes, I realized something crucial early on: not all processes follow the same logic. Some processes aim to create value for the customer, others exist to support that value creation. And a few manage everything from start to finish. If I want to improve how an organization works, I need to understand each of these process types in detail. In this post, I’ll explain the most common process types, show how they differ, and share real-life examples so you can see how they work in practice.

When I first began comparing the public and private sectors, I quickly noticed something fundamental: they follow very different logics. While both aim to serve people, their methods, goals, and structures diverge sharply. In this article, I’ll explain what process orientation means in public service. I’ll also show how it contrasts with private enterprise—and why this matters for modern administration.

Understanding the difference between a process and an algorithm is essential in both business and technology. I often come across situations where these terms interchange, but they describe fundamentally different concepts. In this article, I’ll explain the difference between process vs. algorithm and show how they can complement each other.

Have you ever wondered how successful companies stay organized and efficient? Well, today, I’m diving into the exciting world of business process management. Clearly understanding what is process management can truly transform the way you run your business. Let’s explore this essential topic together in greater detail!
I’ve noticed something crucial during my years working with businesses and IT teams. Often, these groups struggle to collaborate smoothly. Why? Because they’re approaching business process management from completely different angles. Let me guide you through this challenge and explain how we can bridge this gap effectively.

When I analyze business processes, I often find one repeating issue: unclear responsibilities. This isn’t just a detail—it’s a major source of delay, confusion, and even failure. Over time, I’ve learned that I can’t fix processes without fixing responsibility first. In this article, I’ll show you how I tackle unclear responsibilities in process analysis. I’ll also walk you through a real-world example—and how I use a RACI matrix to make sure every task is clearly owned.

Process optimization is my key to working smarter. It’s not just about saving time or cutting costs. It’s about making sure the process delivers better results—without harming other priorities like quality or employee well-being. That’s why I treat process optimization as one of the most important steps in any improvement project.
