Everybody scopes in their daily life at school or work. Mostly this is done without any second thought. Whom is responsible for getting groceries and making dinner? Considering holidays where do I go, with whom and how many days? All these questions are quite familiar to all of us. However, not only in daily life these types of questions are asked. At work, where we experience a complex web of responsibilities, actors and political games we are constantly busy with questions that need to be answered. The same goes for scoping within the area of Business Process Management. When do I start modelling a process, or how do we scope that kind of complexity? It is very difficult to decide where your process starts and finishes or who (roles or systems) and what (data) is involved in the process.
