Hi,
To add to the muddle!!! Every time I hear process analysis, process modeling etc and anything related to processes, I realize that what one is really talking about is 'one instance' of the processes. If one intends to model one instance of a process then one may choose whatever on earth to depict pictorially that instance. Process modeling is lot more than mere representation as a 2d diagram. Process model is manifold more than just a mere event flow diagram. Process model is a depiction of the dynamic functioning of an enterprise as a cumulation of several processes utilizing numerous resources and horizontally streaking through organized set of functional units and each achieving a specific set of business objective and adding up to fulfill the bigger business goal. By employing the resources various constraints are overcome. Business goals are always accompanied by problems/constraints. The process model depicting the whole truth of an enterprise results into a matrix set of resources and each uniquely aiding in the efficient flow of the events (or threads of processes), overcoming problems as much as possible. To model such a process flow more holistic tools such as those based on Enterprise Architecture framework such as Zachman is required. Rose at the moment does not offer such a facility and it is severely lacking in capacity to capture the enterprise architecture as a holistic relational model.
