A visual description of the objects that a certain process is related to. It normally contains a selection of surrounding objects and relations in order to support a certain analysis.

Purpose

The process context model is used to analyze a process’ relations to other objects. It is also used to create the relations that don’t fit in other models (in order to avoid messy flow models).

Way of Working

  1. Place the process in the middle of the model.
  2. Use the EA tool’s function to add the related objects of interest (or add them manually)
