BPM Governance Framework

There are many excellent publications on BPM Governance that cover various aspects of this discipline from the theoretical foundation and definitions to lessons learned and best practices. These Articles provide a good understanding of these aspects and offer useful, practical advice in respective areas. However, they all fall short of offering a comprehensive framework that can be used as a single source of reference, models, templates, and guidelines for definition and institutionalization of BPM Governance in one’s organization. The purpose of this Article is to define requirements of a comprehensive BPM Governance Framework and to outline the contents of such a framework using the Open Group’s framework for general and SOA governance as a useful pattern.
