The article deals with the problem of business processes modelling. It presents the basic theoretical concepts and proposals how to use various methods of business processes modelling for various levels and attributes of these processes through the created methodical cube. The methodical cube is the methodology of the process model (or map) creation as well as the innovative tool in process management. The objective of this article is to create the basis for business processes optimization and for improving their performance through "the three aspects methodology" required for the business processes modelling and design. The authors mention the project approach to process modelling. They use an analysis of problems (so-called "tree of problems") and analysis of goals (so-called "tree of goals) as project tools, which should be applied before process modelling. These tools help the process manager to understand potential problems and find the goals for making a good process map or model.
