The paper explores and analyses approaches and opinions about best practices and recommendations in business process modelling. In the process modelling literature, also as a part of any business modelling activity methodologies, there are no explicit texts about best practices. Additionally, business process modelling is a part of different (approximately 30) business and enterprise modelling architectures, references and frameworks. The paper addresses the following questions: What is the best way to undertake business process modelling? What procedures and core activities are essential during stages of modelling? What are the most important rules, practices and standards to guide the business process modelling community?
