But activity-oriented process description pays less attention to the fact that a process is goal-driven and depending on the coordination of many roles. It is easier to study problems related to processes from the perspective of roles and their cooperation. Based on the perspective, the fracture of roles and the coordination among them are discussed. Furthermore, some problems touching on role-based process management are analyzed, and the conclusion that role-based process management is, in essence, management of roles and their coordination is given.
