End-User Involvement and Team Factors in Business Process Modeling

We study the impact of end-user involvement and team factors on model quality and consensus. By end-user involvement we mean the degree to which participants of a modeling session are involved in the active creation of models, i.e. the drawing of the diagram. We find that higher end-user involvement, facilitated by tool support, increases model quality. Complementary teams achieve better consensus than matched teams.
