How does Process Classification differ from Device Classification?

Process Classification is primarily focused on identifying and structuring various business processes within an organization, allowing for the establishment of clear relationships among different processes. This classification helps in mapping out how processes interact, the flow of information between them, and their dependencies. By creating relationships, Process Classification enhances visibility into process performance and aids in improvement efforts by providing a clear understanding of how processes correlate with one another.

In contrast, Device Classification involves categorizing physical or virtual devices based on their attributes, functionalities, and roles within an IT environment. While it may identify devices and their types, it does not inherently create the same kind of relational structure you find in Process Classification.

Understanding this distinction emphasizes the unique purpose of each classification method—Process Classification is about relationships and interactions among organizational activities, while Device Classification is focused on categorizing devices without establishing direct process connections.
