Written by Brad Fagan | 10 March 2017

What is Business Process Management? The world of BPM can be a strange and unnerving one, full of acronyms like BPM, BPMN, BPMS etc... and if you're not careful you can find yourself getting lost in the jargon of terms such as As-Is, Bottlenecks, Deliverables and Activities. 

Not to worry though, we have created a short video that presents you with 12 of the most important pieces of BPM jargon that'll have you speaking the same language as your BPM buddies in no time!

Here's a list of 12 of the most important terms:

    • Activity
    • Decision
    • Deliverable
    • As-Is Process
    • Bottleneck
    • Business Process Model and Notation
    • Business Project Management System (Suite)
