Initiating Process Improvements template

The Initiating Process Improvements template creates a space for collaborating to improve a business process.

The Initiating Process Improvements template combines widgets from WebSphere® Process Server, WebSphere Business Monitor, and WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server to create a space for users who are responsible for initiating the improvement of a business process and reviewing improvement proposals.

The Initiating Process Improvements template creates a space with the following pages: My Work, Create Tasks, KPIs, Analysis, Draft Artifacts, Released Artifacts, Publishing Server Access Control, Publishing Server Manager, and Viewers.
