There are few studies conducted on personal processes within the Business Process Management (BPM) domain. Personal processes are looser and more context- and person-dependent compared to the clearly defined business processes. This makes it more challenging to create solutions in this domain. In this study, a taxonomy is developed for personal processes. We used the data collected from semi-structured interviews that we have conducted with a diverse population. We built a taxonomy with 4 classes and 22 subclasses, further organized by 6 characteristics and 3 dimensions. The proposed taxonomy is intended to guide practitioners and researchers by identifying the range of processes, by understanding the relationship among process types, and by organizing the knowledge within the Personal Process Management (PPM) domain. As such, our work would lead to creating new methods, tools, and approaches for increased effectiveness of PPM solutions.

A mobile flexible business process management system supporting daily life processes and decisions Oruç, Sercan; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Information Systems (2021-7-27) Within the Business Process Management domain, only a few studies focus on personal processes. Personal processes are looser and more context- and person-dependent compared to business processes. So, flexibility is a significant concern in Personal Process Management (PPM). In this study, we first conduct semi-structured interviews with a diverse population. Using the collected data, we develop a personal process taxonomy with four classes and twenty-two subclasses. Then, we create a reference model for con...
A Comparison of Process Ontology Discovery from Organizational Guidelines in Two Different Languages Gurbuz, Ozge; Demirörs, Onur (2017-09-01) Process ontologies contain organization's process elements which are related to the business activities, in a structured format. Once organizations establish process ontologies, searching process information as well as discovery, modeling and automation become more efficient. Process ontologies are frequently developed from organizational resources such as guidelines, regulations and procedures by interpreting the document, discovering the process information and building the ontology. The studies depict th...
An investigation of the relationship between joint visual attention and product quality in collaborative business process modeling: a dual eye-tracking study Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit (2022-02-01) Collaborative business process modeling is a collective activity where team members jointly discuss, design, and document business processes. During such activities, team members need to communicate with each other to coordinate the modeling activities, propose and justify changes, and negotiate common terms and definitions. Throughout this process, stakeholders should be aware of when and what kind of changes have been made by each team member on the shared space so that they can discuss design ideas and b...
A cots-software requirements elicitation method from business process models Aslan, Ercan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002) In this thesis, COTS-software requirements elicitation, which is an input for RFP in software intensive automation system̕s acquisition, is examined. Business Process Models are used for COTS-software requirements elicitation. A new method, namely CREB, is developed to meet the requirements of COTS-software. A software intensive system acquisition of a military organization is used to validate the method.
An Effort Prediction Model Based on BPM Measures for Process Automation Aysolmaz, Banu; Iren, Deniz; Demirörs, Onur (2013-06-18) BPM software automation projects require different approaches for effort estimation for they are developed based on business process models rather than traditional requirements analysis outputs. In this empirical research we examine the effect of various measures for BPMN compliant business process models on the effort spent to automate those models. Although different measures are suggested in the literature, only a few studies exist that relate these measures to effort estimation. We propose that differen...
