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 organizations, 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.

Of particular note is the fact that OMG appears to lag behind the standards organizations in the harmonizing efforts that have been going on within the software engineering world. For example, ISO/IEC IEEE/EIA 12207 havehas a model of software engineering process that is not reflected in the OMG model (process, activity, task) and consequently needs a mapping into the SPEM model.

The usability concerns wont be addressed until there is large scale adoption of the approach and interoperability issues around plug-ins drive the design to its optimum.
