Descrição

Dissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Information Systems and Technologies Management

Understanding the full concepts of modelling techniques is what organizations lack these days which sometimes affects their decision in terms of choosing the tools to model and implement their processes. This, however, is a challenge as organisations tend to choose tools based on current trend or what their competitors used to achieve profit. Other researchers have done similar analysis comparing multiple modelling languages to identify the strength and weakness of each of the languages and to enlighten the users. This study analysed both BPMN2.0 and IDEF (IDEF0 and IDEF3) and built a comparative matrix showing the strengths and weakness of each technique. Design Science Research (DSR) was used for the methodology that involved carrying out surveys and drafting questionnaires. The results gotten from the survey was used to validate the matrix thereby suggesting recommendations with the hope of being useful to both academia and professionals. In doing so first, there was the need to establish an understanding of each tool which incorporates the framework and breakdown structure.
