Business Process Management (BPM) seeks to maintain control of business processes through its continuous analysis, optimization and implementation of improvement activities. The importance of its application is to improve processes and, based on strategies, focus on the customer so that the objectives are met. Based on the phases of the life cycle that make up this management approach, the diagnosis approach is evident. In diagnosis, organizational processes are known in the midst of an organization's goals and objectives, and need to present a holistic view. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose all dimensions of the process. In addition, there is a wide range of techniques for diagnosis and, based on the appropriate choice, it is possible that the result of the diagnosis is holistic. Given the above, the objective of this research is to propose a framework for the holistic diagnosis of BPM and, in this way, (a) to propose the diagnostic dimensions of processes that favor the holistic view; (b) investigate diagnostic techniques; (c) evaluate the use of BPM diagnostic techniques in organizations. Research is carried out based on the design science research method and supported by a systematic literature review, aiming to propose artifacts in response to the questions asked. The demonstration of one of the proposed artifacts is done through consultation with experts, and the second by a consensus assessment supported by the Delphi method. From this, the proposal of a set of techniques appropriate to the dimensions for the holistic process diagnosis is obtained, which is evaluated by two case studies. The research offers contributions to managers who want excellence in process diagnostics and to BPM literature as it solves a problem in the academic community. As a limitation of this research, the fact that an assessment of the proposed framework has not been carried out is highlighted. The originality of this study consists in presenting the importance of the global view in the diagnosis of processes, bringing, therefore, the dimensions and the respective techniques that support them so that the result of the diagnosis is holistic.
