What does Intentional mean ?

An intentional process model aims to capture the underlying motivations and intents behind the overt activites and flows in a process. (p10)

The intentional approach to process modelling acknowledges that actors have freedom of action, within the bounds of social (inter-actor) constrains.(p12)

By offering means-ends links, the SR [Strategic Rationale] model provides a view of process that is goal-oriented. By being agent oriented (in conjunction with the SD [Strategic Dependency] model) , the i* framwork convenys where these intentional forces are coming from, and directed towards.(p39)
