BPM Process Patterns: Repeatable Design for BPM Process Models

One of the problems process patterns have is that they are confused with other software patterns. Object-Oriented (OO) software development benefited greatly in 1995 from the 23 patterns defined in the seminal book by Gamma, et al. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable ObjectOriented Software. Each of the OO patterns they defined came with a clear explanation of the pattern’s intent, motivation and known uses. OO software developers now could stand on the shoulders of giants.
