The goals of a process model are:
To be Descriptive
Track what actually happens during a process.
Takes the point of view of an external observer who looks at the way a process has been performed and determines the improvements that have to be made to make it perform more effectively or efficiently.
Prescriptive
Defines the desired processes and how they should/could/might be performed.
Lays down rules, guidelines, and behavior patterns which, if followed, would lead to the desired process performance. They can range from strict enforcement to flexible guidance.
Explanatory
Provides explanations about the rationale of processes.
Explore and evaluate the several possible courses of action based on rational arguments.
Establish an explicit link between processes and the requirements that the model needs to
fulfill.
