===== Course Objective =====
<WRAP round 95% center box>

This course focuses on modelling activity that allows abstracting and reasoning on how an enterprise is organized and how the work is structured within complex organizations. In particular, business process models represent blueprints that can serve different purposes for a variety of stakeholder. For example, business analysts can use these models to better understand how the organization works; employees playing a role in the process can use them to learn the tasks that they are supposed to perform; software analysts/developers can refer to the models to understand the system-as-is before designing the system-to-be. 

Given the variety of stakeholders that need to interpret these models, and considering the pivotal function that models play within organizations, models quality becomes fundamental.
