Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for aiding in the development of Business Process Model (BPM) design. A BPM Design is created by a design editor, and contains model data that describes the design. The design is stored in a datastore. Sets of measurements are derived from the model data that express measures such as complexity, maintainability, or productivity of the design. A measurement calculator derives sets of measurements based on model data from designs. A design planner accesses the datastore and makes use of measurements as an aid to BPM Design. A display generator receives measurements and processes them so that they may be displayed to a user and readily interpreted as an aid to BPM Design, development, or management.
