ABSTRACT
This chapter describes characteristic attributes of BPAs and characteristic curves of processes modeled in SEPRM using the findings from a series of worldwide surveys. A set of benchmarks for 444 BPAs and 51 processes will be derived in order to characterize the BPAs and processes by the quantitative attributes: mean weighted importance, and the ratios of significance, practice, and effectiveness. In doing this, the intention is to illustrate the general means by which any process model might be validated. Because of the complexity and the large number of issues to be looked at, SEPRM is used as a vehicle demonstrating all of the aspects that need to be covered when creating confidence in a model’s worth and validity.
