复杂性会对业务流程模型的正确性、可维护性和可理解性产生不良影响。然而，测量业务流程模型的复杂性是一个相当新的研究领域，只有少量的贡献。在本文中，我们调查的结果，从邻近学科的复杂性如何可以衡量。特别是，我们从软件工程，认知科学和图论中收集见解，并讨论在多大程度上可以定义业务流程模型的类似度量。
Complexity has undesirable effects on, among others, the correctness, maintainability, and understandability of business process models. Yet, measuring complexity of business process models is a rather new area of research with only a small number of contributions. In this paper, we survey findings from neighboring disciplines on how complexity can be measured. In particular, we gather insight from software engineering, cognitive science, and graph theory, and discuss in how far analogous metrics can be defined on business process models.
