A business process model consists of a set of activity models and execution constraints between them. Each business process model acts as a blueprint for a set of business process instances, and each activity model acts as a blueprint for a set of activity instances.

A process model is a precise description of the software
process. It serves three main purposes: 1. It facilitates understanding and communication. 2. It supports process management and improvement. 3. It may serve as a basis for automated support. A process model is a simplification of reality [Hans2008]. {SPC: Software process model, Service Process model} |
An adaptation process model is a process model that guides the adaptation of software systems. An example of an adaptation process model is ISO/IEC 14764 which is used for adapting software through software maintenance. [CD-JRA-1.1.4] |
