Abstract
This work presents how business process models are described in terms of task models to solve traceability issues for large systems. The proposed approach presents a method with activities specifically selected for the scenario of develo-ping user interfaces (UIs) for enterprise applications founded on extensive business processes. Furthermore, some of these activities are detailed to make the work on UIs aligned with business processes. With the use of the tool proposed in this research, it is then possible to identify the UI components that are impacted whenever changes are made on business processes.
