==Issues to Resolve==

The tool is now mature but the generation of open sourced process plug-ins remains problematic as adoption of the tool still requires substantial work in process authoring. IBM has some proprietory plugins available for its Rational Method Composer but they are based upon the proprietory RUP process model. The small opensource agile models available don't scale well to large programs. Many IEEE/ISO/SAE/CMMI and other standards models have not been modelled. The potential here is vast if IBM markets EPF/RMC to the standards organisations who already sell on representations of their standards.

Static page generation is useful, as a reference site, but additional effort has to occur 1) to move towards process orchestration (based upon SPEM models) and 2) provision of training resources (potentially by including SCORM/IMS modes for export). Process training, within organisations, is of paramount concern and the amount of rework to push EPF output into SCORM/IMS ready structures for presentation in an eLearning environments (on top of the initial process authoring effort) is prohibitive. Model transformation technology may help here.
