This Technical Report provides guidelines for the description of processes by identifying descriptive attributes
and rules for their formulation. It characterizes the following attributes of process description:
- title;
- purpose;
- outcomes;
- activities;
- tasks.
This Technical Report does not describe how processes are composed or otherwise aggregated into larger
frameworks or architectures.
NOTE Future work may set out rules for guiding standards developers in formulating the definition, scope, granularity,
decomposition, scale and number of processes.
The intended audience for this Technical Report is the editors, working group members, reviewers and other
participants in the development of process standards and technical reports. It is intended that they will select
the process description attributes suitable for their project from those described in this Technical Report. It is
further intended that, having selected the appropriate attributes, readers of this Technical Report will apply
them in a manner consistent with the guidance provided by this Technical Report.
This Technical Report is also intended for use by all parties that define process models. For example, other
international standards groups, national standards, sector or special interest groups, professional standards,
researchers and process assessors. These process models may be for the purpose of process definition,
implementation or assessment.
