 A '''business process''' is a collection of linked tasks that find their end in the delivery of a service or product to a client.   A business process has also been defined as a set of activities and tasks that, once completed, will accomplish an organizational goal.  The process must involve clearly defined inputs and a single output. These inputs are made up of all of the factors which contribute (either directly or indirectly) to the added value of a service or product. These factors can be categorized into management processes, operational processes, and supporting processes. The definition of the term business process and the development of this definition since its conception by Adam Smith in 1776 has led to such areas of study as Operations Development, Operations Management, and to the development of various Business Management Systems.<ref>[http://www.appian.com/about-bpm/definition-of-a-business-process/ Business Process Definition]</ref>
