Improved reporting/export
As a business analyst I have over the last few months been using PB6Pro for a lot of business process mapping and business modelling. (user stories, use cases, entity relationship mapping (only partly successful), decision trees etc
It has taken a while to work up 'best practice' for me but is starting to prove immensely powerful. The one problem I have however working in a regulated industry is that we HAVE to record our models and findings in formal documents. PB6 can kind of do this ....the copy outline with notes kind of does the job but when placed into word, needs quite a lot of adjustment to get it looking right, which is a shame as it results in re-work every time a plex is updated.
Improved layout options such as apply different formatting to X clicks down the hierarchy (in effect heading/subheading etc), provide thought notes in different format.(maybe even use selectable word templates to direct formatting)
Also links... would really like to have the option of 'exporting' thought-link-thought etc .. esp. valuable with the BP7 link functionality.. option to export link notes.
Also tied in with this is ability to order thoughts (parent-child) without having to precede every thought with "1)', "2)" etc
Also export on page plex to PNG format image for clarity in doc.s
I will post some examples subsequently

Absolutely! I too am a business analyst just beginning to experiment with PB for modeling BPM and the plethora of generated artifacts. There is a rich BA community looking for integrated modeling solutions. PB looks interesting.
Dear Grik, I would LOVE to see what you've done with BPMN and use case modeling. dougincolorado@gmail.com
