2. Introduction to Business Processes
BPM is a way of looking at and then controlling the processes that are present in
an organization. It is an effective methodology to use in times of crisis to make
certain that the processes are efficient and effective, as this will result in a better
and more cost efficient organization

3. Need For BPM
Today’s manager is considered as a knowledge worker, who should have
the skills like
Strategic thinking: the ability to see the big picture and understand how
your organization works as a whole.
Information Literacy: the ability to determine what information is needed,
where to find it, and how to use it.
Communication and collaboration: the ability to function as an effective
part of a project team where you understand your role as well as the
role of others.
Thus, We need to have a thorough understanding of both the
fundamental business processes that organizations use to do their work
and the role of ICT plays in supporting these processes
4. What BPM do
BPM Refers to improving/redesigning the business processes; it consists of
Capturing and understanding of the business processes
Mapping of the business processes
Analysing the existing processes (As-is)
Thinking new/modified processes(Could-be)
Designing the new processes(To-be)
Integrating and implementing the new processes
Managing change
5. BPM life cycle
Business process management activities can be grouped into five categories
Design
Modeling
Execution
Monitoring
Optimization
6. Process Design encompasses both the identification of existing processes and the
design of "to-be" processes.
Modeling : Modeling takes the theoretical design and introduces combinations of
variables, It also involves running "what-if analysis" on the processes:
Execution : Instances of the process are launched and interacted with by the end users.
Monitoring : Monitoring encompasses the tracking of individual processes, so that
information on their state can be easily seen, and statistics on the performance of one or
more processes can be provided
Optimization : Process optimization includes retrieving process performance
information from modeling or monitoring phase; identifying the potential or actual
bottlenecks and the potential opportunities for cost savings or other improvements; and
then, applying those enhancements in the design of the process. Overall, this creates
greater business value.
7. Critical Success Factors for BPM Implementation
1. Strategy
2. People
3. Optimization and Process
4. Management
5. Project Management
6. Process Architecture
7. IT Architecture
8. Standards and Measurements
8. 1. Strategy
Strategy required two approaches. Firstly, there needs to be to be a clear link
between the corporate strategy and the company’s core processes. And
secondly, whenever the corporate strategy is altered, the required process
changes need to be reviewed
.
2. People
The people in BPM context refers to the individuals and groups who continually
enhance and apply their process related expertise and knowledge
3. Optimization and Process Management
Optimization and process management focus on the management and
improvement of cross functional processes. This involves continues monitoring,
evaluation, measurement (e.g. cost, quality, time) and process innovation
4. Project Management
Lack of suitable project management is one of the important problems that
organizations are faced during the BPM implementation. It is the discipline of planning,
Organizing, securing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion
of specific engineering project goals and objectives
9. IT Architecture
The IT architecture is an organized set of consensus decisions on policies &
principles, services & common solutions, standards & guidelines as well as
specific vendor products used by IT providers both inside and outside the
Information Technology Branch (ITB).
Standards and Measurements
Performance measure refers to measurements of the processes, project and
people performance. The processes performance should be measure correctly to
compare them with the goals and benchmarks and choose the suitable process for
change in addition of assessment of the improvement.
10. Phases of Managing Process Improvement Initiatives
As project manager, One must continuously monitor and control business
process improvement projects. the amount of time required to actually
manage the project to ensure a successful conclusion
However the 6 phases of managing process Improvement initiatives that
should taken under consideration are
1. Project Team Kick-Off Meeting
2. Understand the Project Need
3. Analyze the Current Business Process
4. Redesign of the Business Process
5. Presentation to Executives
6. Implement the Redesigned Process
11. Project Team Kick-Off Meeting
Before the project even launches, hold a meeting with the entire project team. If
the team is not Co-located, I’d highly recommend making the case to get the team
together face-to-face for at least a day. If possible, ask the project sponsor and other
key stakeholders to participate
Understand the Project Need
Most particularly in this initial phase, project managers often find it challenging to
identify who will be effected by the project.
In this initial phase of the project we are Developing an initial description of the
problem to be solved , Identifying your stakeholders, Identifying the full project
team , Determining Project Goal Etc
Analyze the Current Business Process
This phase focuses on looking closely at the current process that is to be
changed. Gather Information on the current (“as is”) process through a
variety of ways . Which will enable us to see where the gaps are and
where Improvement opportunities exist. You’ll also determine the root
cause of the problem.
12. Redesign of the Business Process
In practice research and on developing a redesign of the business process
Stakeholder input is absolutely essential at this point. Not just from the
management/executive level, but those individuals who are actually using the
process or will need to do so .
Presentation to Executives
When presenting your “to be” option for go/no go decision to the executive
stakeholders, be sure to be prepared to discuss: Be prepared to present a
detailed plan for implementation and roll out of the new process, along With plans
for evaluating its success and measuring it against the established criteria.
Implement the Redesigned Process
Implementing the redesigned process, includes finalizing the “to be” process your
team designed based on any feedback and final decisions from the executive
stakeholders
13. Implementation Issues
user resistance to change is the biggest managerial issue, and all of the usual
change management techniques should be used to reduce this. Involving users in
the design of the process and modeling of changes is likely to improve
acceptance.
Lack of understanding or knowledge of BPM has been highlighted as an
impediment and is more likely to apply to senior management and LOB
management than to users.
Another common theme from previous reports is “Underestimating the time to
map and agree processes”.
In many organizations, documented work instructions and actual working practices
seldom match, and the prospect of encapsulating the process heightens these
differences.
14. By its nature, BPM is likely to involve interfaces to other systems, whether they are
scan and capture systems or core enterprise systems. Transaction-centric processes
might be expected to present greater difficulties in this area than document-centric
ones
15. The Agile methodology
The Agile methodology favors the need for flexibility and adaptability of the
organization
It allows business and IT to work together on design in terms of desired processes
which could result in a quick quality solution,
It helps customers to achieve dramatic business results by accelerating time-to-
market
Other benefits of Leveraging this methodology include cost savings, risk reduction,
and greater customer satisfaction by promoting a focus on customer needs
16. There are several methods under the agile framework, some methods focus on
project management and collaboration practices, while others focus on software
development practices. Scrum is one good example of the first kind
Methods under the agile framework
Scrum is a discipline used to manage project and to stimulate collaboration using
iterative, incremental practices. Within the Scrum discipline, a series of iterations
are used as basic units in the project. In the end of one iteration, a working piece of
software will be delivered and can be tested, which generally results in a BPMS
implementation that one iteration
Team In an Agile project, the teams are cross-functional The customers
(business) usually will join the development team, they normally take responsibility
to form the requirements of functionalities and to test the deliverable within
iteration without to taking the existing corporate
Iterations : Agile methodology promotes adaptive planning a BPMS
implementation project who applied Agile methodology, has often minimal planning.
Although iterations are typically short, a full software development cycle is fulfilled during
one iteration, including planning, analysis, design, coding, testing.

which will then be further used by the Design team to complete the
modifications required.
19. Scope of Analysis
To understand the mission, goals, and strategies of the
organization and need for BPM
To analyses the business processes of the organization
To map the AS-IS business processes
To propose TO-BE business processes
To assess the feasibility of the proposed business processes
21. Study Process
This paper describes only one process, namely Customer Registration of
Department Customer & Billing of One97 (Pay tm), which is one of the key
processes of the BPMS implementation project.
The project is initialed with , aimed at analyzing and optimizing processes for
More manageable processes
During the project, a process team is created. These process team members are
the key users of the BPMS.
During the project implementation phase, if the current activity or process must
be adjusted, the process team members are those that describe, request and test
the changes.
. When the project is completed, they are able to support and train end-users.
23. summarizes the issues of the As –is Situation
Business
High labor cost to execute activity
Inconsistency of work quality between workers
Inaccurate prediction of work completion
Difficult to give status reports
Failure to effectively manage process and performance
Informal tasks and communication (lots of paper and email)
Incomplete or inaccurate data flow between systems
Insufficient understanding of the performance of the process
IT
Frequent change requests to deal with exceptions in the process
Frustration about the constant changes in business requirements
Press to shorten the development cycle
It is not possible to keep the speed of change
25. Benefit of New (To –be ) process
Automatically routes and prioritizes work
Helps and guides users in making decisions Provides a standardizing of
solving problems Automates some activities
Offers real-time visibility and control of processes .

Before and After BPMS Comparison
27. Project outcomes
Reduced delivery schedules
Automation of process or redesign of process can lead to less time to complete a
process which generates significant cost savings in terms of optimized resource
utilization. By shorting cycle time, it also increases productivity, with the same time
and the same resources, more instances
can be completed with BPMS. The following table indicates the improvement
BPMS has achieved for Customer Registration Process:
Process before BPMS : 240 seconds
Process with BPMS : 90 seconds
Difference : 150 seconds (1 call)
It has resulted in a reduction of calls between front office and back office which
obviously increases the satisfaction of customers for faster handling
28. Conclusion
The ultimate purpose of BPMS is to help a business organization to improve
and optimize the process in cost, time, and quality. Furthermore, with BPMS,
One97 Communication (Pay tm) is no longer running behind the facts.
BPMS provides a real-time and historical insight to all processes within
One97 (Pay tm). How the departments and processes are actually
functioning can easily be monitored by BPMS
The Agile methodology is therefore considered to be successful suiting the
business and IT needs of Business Process Management System
implementation project for One97 (pay tm ) core process Customer
Registration.
Nevertheless, the project demonstrates some weaknesses of agile
methodology in a BPMS implementation project. One vital weakness
indicates that an accurate planning is hard to achieve due to a true nature of
short iterations and the adaptive planning characteristic of the methodology.
Recommendation towards this issue might be a precise and careful analysis
Prior to iterations in the project initiation phase.
Process Design : Process Design encompasses both the identification of existing processes and the design of "to-be" processes.
The aim is to ensure that a correct and efficient theoretical design is prepared. The proposed improvement could be in human-to-human, human-to-system, and system-to-system workflows, and might target regulatory, market, or competitive challenges faced by the businesses.
Modeling : Modeling takes the theoretical design and introduces combinations of variables (e.g., changes in rent or materials costs, which determine how the process might operate under different circumstances).
It also involves running "what-if analysis" on the processes: "What if I have 75% of resources to do the same task?" "What if I want to do the same job for 80% of the current cost?".
Execution : One of the ways to automate processes is to develop or purchase an application that executes the required steps of the process; however, in practice, these applications rarely execute all the steps of the process accurately or completely. Another approach is to use a combination of software and human intervention; however this approach is more complex, making the documentation process difficult.
As a response to these problems, software has been developed that enables the full business process (as developed in the process design activity) to be defined in a computer language which can be directly executed by the computer. The system will either use services in connected applications to perform business operations (e.g. calculating a repayment plan for a loan) or, when a step is too complex to automate, will ask for human input.
Monitoring : Monitoring encompasses the tracking of individual processes, so that information on their state can be easily seen, and statistics on the performance of one or more processes can be provided
Project Team Kick-Off Meeting
This Important project team kick-off meeting enables you to:
Communicate the importance of the initiative and its impact on the organization
Review project objectives and benefits to the organization
Answer questions and address concerns (remember - some of your project team Members may also be impacted by the coming changes!)
Set expectations for status reporting and regular communicationsEnable the team members to become acquainted with each other, thus raising their Comfort level and confidence in working with each other
Work with the team to establish processes and procedures around:
Problem solving Decision making Escalation of problems
Understanding Stakeholders
In this initial phase of the project we are:
Developing an initial description of the problem to be solved
Developing your preliminary project plan, including key checkpoints for go/no go decisions
Identifying your stakeholders
Identifying the full project team
Determining the preliminary project scope
Determining desired performance improvements in the business
Preparing the preliminary business case for the change in process
Developing the process vision statement (work with key executive stakeholders to determine their vision of a “to be” process.)
Developing preliminary communication plans
Setting preliminary timelines and budgets
Determining training needs and implementation/roll out plans
Analyze the Current Business Process
This phase focuses on looking closely at the current process that is to be changed. Gather Information on the current (“as is”) process through a variety of ways . Like Interviews Focus groups, Surveys Observation (of individuals working with the current process) Which will enable us to see where the gaps are and where Improvement opportunities exist. You’ll also determine the root cause of the problem.
Once your data is gathered and you have developed and validated the “as is” process, present your findings formally to the sponsor and key executive stakeholders for approval to move on to the next phase of the project.
Redesign of the Business Process
In Phase We need to focus on best practice research and on developing a redesign of the business process . Stakeholder input is absolutely essential at this point. Not just from the management/executive level, but those individuals who are actually using the process or will need to do so. Anyone impacted by the change should be involved in some way - whether they participate on teams providing input in redesigning the process or are available to bounce ideas off of and test theories. You and your team will be working quite extensively with the stakeholders throughout Phase.
Presentation to Executives
When presenting your “to be” option for go/no go decision to the executive stakeholders, be sure to be prepared to discuss:
Impact on technology, facilities, equipment; Training needs; Budget requirements; Benefits to the organization;
We should be prepared to present a detailed plan for implementation and roll out of the new process, along With plans for evaluating its success and measuring it against the established criteria.
Implement the Redesigned Process
implementing the redesigned process, includes finalizing the “to be” process your team designed based on any feedback and final decisions from the executive stakeholders. the current team members may not have the skills to assist in the implementation phase so be sure to pull together the team that will oversee implementation. some representative group from those business units/departments affected should be included on the team
Moreover there may be sub-projects involved need to be identify all of them.
Subproject might be like 1) Information Technology to secure new hardware and develop software 11) Operations to develop policies and procedures around the new process , The members of your process redesign team should be assigned in the sub-project teams so that there is consistency and valuable information and insight is not lost .
Of key importance to you as the project manager, is to maintain regular meetings with all subproject team leads to ensure information sharing, problem resolution and continued control and maintenance of the required timeline, budget and quality expectations
user resistance to change is the biggest managerial issue, and all of the usual change management techniques should be used to reduce this. Involving users in the design of the process and modeling of changes is likely to improve acceptance.
Lack of understanding or knowledge of BPM has been highlighted as an impediment and is more likely to apply to senior management and LOB management than to users.
Another common theme from previous reports is “Underestimating the time to map and agree processes”.
In many organizations, documented work instructions and actual working practices seldom match, and the prospect of encapsulating the process heightens these differences.
It is worth spending the time to get this right. Failure to do so will result in users continually seeking workarounds within the BPM process in order to do their jobs. As we shall see later, a single identifiable process owner who can represent the process users is also a benefit.
Unexpected exception requirements” was the second biggest technical issue, again reflecting time taken to fully map existing processes.
The third factor, “Over-complexity of process creation and rules engines” suggests a difficulty of accommodating exceptions into the core process plan, or possibly a lack of experience and expertise. BPM applications can be daunting to untrained users, and many would benefit from more generic training in the BPM methodology itself.
Agile software development is a framework of a group of software development methods for software development project management as well as solution implementation, with principles of iterative and incremental development, continuous testing, and frequent re-planning based on Current reality where requirements and solutions evolve through highly collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.
Because of the adaptability of the methodology, customers’ demands of change in plans or requirements can often are realized in the next iteration of development. Agile methodology also allows organizations to respond to the unpredictability of a project , Because the design stage is not formal and developers work
Scrum is a discipline used to manage project and to stimulate collaboration using iterative, incremental practices. Within the Scrum discipline, a series of iterations are used as basic units in the project. In the end of one iteration, a working piece of software will be delivered and can be tested, which generally results in a BPMS implementation that one iteration .
Team In an Agile project, the teams are cross-functional The customers (business) usually will join the development team, they normally take responsibility to form the requirements of functionalities and to test the deliverable within iteration without to taking the existing corporate
In Agile, testing is involved and accomplished by all members of the team to validate the client requirements at frequent intervals. As soon as possible one sub-process is build or any bugs are fixed, they can begin to test and give feedback quickly. Under such a scheme, potential bugs are early detected and fixed; it will further help to reduce the cycle time and the cost of development.
Iterations : Since Agile methodology promotes adaptive planning a BPMS implementation project who applied Agile methodology, has often minimal planning. Although iterations are typically short, a full software development cycle is fulfilled during one iteration, including planning, analysis, design, coding, testing. This decreases the project risk and allows rapid changes when it is desired
