'''Business process modeling''' ('''BPM''') is the action of capturing and representing [[business processes|processes]] of an enterprise (i.e. [[modeling]] them), so that the current business processes may be analyzed, applied securely and consistently, improved, and automated.

BPM is typically performed by business analysts, with subject matter experts collaborating with these teams to accurately model processes. It is primarily used in [[business process management]], [[software development]], or [[systems engineering]].

Alternatively, process models can be directly modeled from IT systems, such as event logs.
