Lack of round-tripping tends to make the processes in BPM much less agile, since the business analysts using the modeling tool are cut out of the loop once the first pass is executed.

The power of something like this is the fact that by using the ProVision models as a base (which is, essentially what the process pods are) they now have a totally customizable set of models which integrate pretty seamlessly with the Metastorm BPM tool. Whereas previously the BPM tool had no process modelling capability behind it (i.e. the models they used were designed fairly rigidly within the BPM tool itself) now with ProVision, the EA and BPA modelling capabilities are wide open. The key is the seamless (albeit one way) link between the ProVision models within Metastorm EA/BPA and the application generation part within Metastorm BPM. Apparently the next part is to make it seamless both ways and to integrate the look and feel of both sets of applications I've only recently discovered your site and I've subscribed to the RSS feed. Well done and thank you! Gary http://process-cafe.blogspot.com Sandy - I’ve seen and used this toolset.
