Most recently, technology has allowed the coupling of BPM to other methodologies, such as Six Sigma. BPM tools now allow the user to:
* Define - baseline the process or the process improvement
* Measure - Simulate the change to the process.
* Analyze - Compare the various simulations to determine an optimal improvement
* Improve - Select and implement the improvement
* Control - Deploy this implementation and by use of User defined dashboards monitor the improvement in real time and feed the performance information back into the simulation model in preparation for the next improvement iteration.
