I’ve been thinking a lot about Social BPM and the Gravity – Collaborative Business Process Modelling within Google Wave touched a nerve. I admit I was entranced by the screencam / blog and the ease and speed in which wave participants created a process model - I let it resonate a little bit and I had a few ideas / comments. Although this blog focuses on Gravity, I think this innovation can also help us understand wave-based collaboration in BPM projects in general.
Note: I’m not a Google Wave Beta User, so I can only speak indirectly about this innovation and I’ve only seen the Gravity screencam, so I haven’t played with it either.
Here is my knee-jerk reaction as a list (not really in any order) of ideas/questions:
Gravity with its wave-based collaboration can’t replace Galaxy - it is like comparing apples and oranges. I could envision Gravity complementing the current SAP BPM Networking product line, especially for the initial phases of the process modeling and design where business users are involved and the level of process abstraction is still high without a lot of implementation details.
By the way, I think Gravity would be perfect for this year’s Process Slam - hint, hint.
