What is a Business Process?

A business process is a set of actions that are placed in a particular order to achieve an objective. Actions include both human activities and automated actions that implement routing rules.

An AgilePoint process defines a set of activities using Visio-based AgilePoint Envision activities.

In addition to using the out-of-the-box AgilePoint components, AgilePoint also provides a very effective framework and process-oriented, reusable component development framework, which you can use to build your own components. By developing your own, you can embed business logic to meet your particular requirement.

These components can not only be reused in different processes, the component is configurable for different process analysts and business users. The framework provides a kind of vocabulary that both the developers and analysts can understand. This is called "Business Process WYSIWYG."
