The BA should provide process models as artifacts that can be used organization wide for the long-term. Process models are graphical representations of the activities, inputs, outputs, and interactions of a business process. They can help to document, analyze, improve, and communicate the current and future states of a process. They can also serve as a basis for developing other artifacts, such as requirements, test cases, user manuals, and training materials. Process models can be useful for various stakeholders, such as business users, managers, developers, testers, and trainers, to understand and optimize the business process. References:
