Developing models of your business can serve many purposes. These models can help you as you continually engineer your business to keep up with the competitive pressures of today’s business environment. Additionally, they can help as you develop the software systems that give you competitive advantage. UML modeling elements such as use cases and business object models are excellent ways of capturing existing business processes or the processes of the future. These models can then be used to communicate requirements to software engineers, the organization at large, or the people who will be a vital part of carrying out the objectives of the process. In this tutorial, we describe methods of capturing processes and modeling them. We present UML as a method of describing them. Finally, we introduce some additions to the UML which will aid organizations to deploy these systems and processes in their organizations.
