The Way of Governance is the act of governing what exist or in the process of getting developed/deployed. The Way of Process Governance is therefore an essential part of developing a holistic and integrated process approach to verify and ensure value identification and creation for the organization. In the context of process modelling principles, the course participant will learn to think and split their work into the relevant process lifecycle.
The lifecycle thinking is vital as it represents the course of developmental changes through which the process components evolve in terms of innovation and/or transformation as it passes during its lifetime. From process analysis, process design, process implementation and continuous process improvements.
Thereby the process lifecycle consists of a set of steps/phases in which each phase uses the results of the previous one. It provides a sequence of phases and activities for process experts and process architects.
