Business process implementation is a critical step in the lifecycle of Business Process Management (BPM). In this phase, business processes are implemented iteratively, from a business idea to a practical and executable business process application.

Many of the benefits associated with successful BPM projects: such as reduced time to market, realized business value, and shortened test cycles, rely on an iterative development lifecycle to achieve them. For the implementation phase to fulfill the iterative methodology, we use a model called playbacks.

A playback is a focused on demonstration of a partially implemented process application, delivered to the business and IT stakeholders for discussion, consensus building, and approval. Playbacks give stakeholders the opportunities to provide feedback that drives the next iterations of process development
