[1] M. zur Muehlen and D. T.-Y. Ho. Risk management in the bpm
lifecycle. In C. Bussler and A. Haller, editors, Business Process Management
Workshops, volume 3812, pages 454–466, 2005.
This
paper provided an overview of risks associated with BPM projects during all the
phases of the BPM lifecycle. The paper started by trying to define BPM, providing
different definitions by different researchers, and finally defining BPM as
creating “alignment among the individual process components input, output,
resources, process structure, and process goals”.
Then
it went in to defining risk and risk management; it explains that risk
management composed of 3 main phases: identification, analysis, and control of
risk. Also explained 4 of the management strategies toward a risk; mitigation,
avoidance, transfer, and acceptance, by giving a definition and example for
each of these strategies.
Then
in section 4 went into “risks specific to BPM projects”, and listed common
risks encountered in and between BPM lifecycle phases; it listed six phases of
BPM life cycle, and four transition phases, in each of these ten phases listed
a number of a BPM-specific risks to this phase.
This
paper focused more on risks that can occur during BPM lifecycle and not on
integrating risk to BPM or producing a risk-aware BPM. It showed and pointed
out risks that might occur during the BPM life cycle.
Relation to research in hand, this paper might not be directly related
to the research in hand, as it is not concerned with integrating risks, it was
set only to point out risks associated with each phase of BPM life cycle. But it
could be useful in showing the importance of considering risks, and other
security aspects from the beginning, as these risks pointed out in this paper
can be used as example and show case to prove that risk could happen and we
should be prepared for it by considering it from the beginning and considering what
kind of reaction to take.
