Quick link to fellow OMG/BPMI board member Derek Miers' recent paper: Keys To BPM Project Success.

"With BPM projects springing up in most firms, a robust BPM project capability is now a competitive imperative. For those still standing on the sidelines, it is not a question of if they will engage in BPM oriented projects, just a question of when."

And then there is also Derek's paper on Developing A Repeatable BPM Delivery Capability (full disclosure: Lombardi sponsored this research) which is a companion piece to the above and takes the project methodology above down the path of version 2, 3, etc. of a given process. One of the key benefits of BPM technology is to make it easier to adapt to new business practices, and this not only requires a new technology, but also new delivery methods. Derek addresses those in this paper.

These should be required reading for anyone headed down the business process management path.
