IBM Blueworks Live is well-suited for collaborative business process documentation. It allows us to visually design, analyze, and optimize a processes or policies in real-time. The version control is extremly useful when organising multiple documents.

It is particularly useful in early stages when a team of us want to hash out an idea or new process and there are several ideas we want to visualise and discuss.

It is not so well suited if you later want to take these policies outside of the IBM / Microsoft product suite.

IBM Blueworks Live shines in environments where collaborative process mapping and standardization are key—ideal for teams looking to streamline workflows and maintain documentation centrally. May fall short for businesses needing deep system integrations or advanced analytics, and its mobile experience could be limiting for those heavily reliant on on-the-go access.

Easy to create process diagrams quickly, while collaborating with others.Track activities using metadata such as which IT systems are utilized.Use the glossary terms to find where different roles or systems are involved in processes throughout your org. It's a silly thing, but for darker color coding shades, the text should turn to white for the legibility of the text. It is hard to read when some colors are applied.

It's an excellent tool for quickly creating detailed process maps and diagrams on the fly right when you're collaborating on process design or changes. I love the ability to step through a path using the Playback mode. The glossary and use of metadata in the documentation for process steps create a lot of useful analysis and reporting options. If you commit to using Blueworks across a whole team/dept's workflows, you can get some great insights on process opportunities (automation?) and challenges very efficiently.

I do find IBM Blueworks Live is overall well suited! We are a federal government contractor constantly updating our business processes to align with federal regulations. Blueworks Live helps streamline our process due to the collaboration and maintenance of records in one place.

The IBM Blueworks Live is a powerful, cloud based solution, which enables the business stakeholders to document their business processes in a collaborative way, which makes also the update easy and sustainable. The tool also enables the attachments at each step of the process.

The Import / export from/to existing acceptable format can also make the documentation effort simple and easy.

Blueworks Live is well suited, for teams with a big number of integrants and when they all have to interact with the same process. And I think that would not be appropriate to create reminders, or organize the activities of the week, for example, a list of things to do.

This was great for designing and executing business processes. The major downfall is onboarding a team. The Microsoft environment is much more suited for our needs in other areas. It would be too much to ask a team to use another software outside of that environment if Microsoft has comparable solutions. If this could integrate with Microsoft products, even something simple like Outlook calendars for tasks/reminders, I could make a case for its implementation.

Blueworks Live is a software suited for companies that are trying to map out their business process. One can break down their process to whatever detail one wishes, and one can see it down to the microscopic detail. By seeing a process so detailed, we are able to see where something might be holding something else up, and we can then improve on that to make the whole process a little smoother.

It’s a great tool if you have a small to medium sized company. I wish we’d started using it sooner because May processes and decisions made during meetings (for example) went undocumented. We’re now able to track these kinds of things much more efficiently. I don’t know if it would work as well with large companies because I haven’t experienced it in that setting.

It's hard to recommend a tool that does not follow the universal industry standard (BPMN2). Like Visio, it looks and feels like the standard is respected (shapes, naming convention, etc.) but Blueworks Live does not in fact follow any of it. It is a good tool for any company that is primarily looking at drawing diagrams (e.g., export them as images), as opposed to building live processes.

It's a good choice if people have experience with other Process Documentation tools or if you need to document processes in simple and effective way. It's not so good if people have no previous experience with other tools or if they need a deep and structured approach. It's bad if people don't think documentation issues matter or they don't want change their behaviour.

Blueworks is well suited when only process modeling needs to be done, when processes from Visio need to be converted, and when end to end integrated flows need to be created

It's less appropriate when enterprise-wide architecture modeling is needed like org charts, application architecture, if it has to be integrated with SAP SolMan, and when simulation needs to be done.

Blueworks makes it easy to edit and update processes and share with others. However, it is missing third party connectors. Process maps are invisible to end-users unless they have a viewer licence. It is also difficult to share maps across the organisation without a dedicated BPM system.

You can use Blueworks Live to make better decisions and to really achieve better results inside your organization. I think a company can't be better than it's own processes. Creating a unique path to creating value is the best thing to do nowadays. Blueworks can help you to do that with its intuitive interface.
