Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
- BPMN is a standard notation for business process modeling.
- It is independent of any particular implementation environment.
- It is supported by the Object Management Group and was originally developed by the Business Process Management Initiative.
- BPMN helps bridge the gap between business process design and implementation.
- It uses a flowchart-like notation that is easy to understand.
BPMN Elements
-
Flow Objects:
- Event: Triggers that start, modify, or complete a process.
- Activity: Tasks performed by a person or system, including sub-processes, loops, and compensations.
- Gateway: Decision points that adjust the path based on conditions or events.
-
Connecting Objects:
- Sequence flow: Shows the order of activities to be performed.
- Message flow: Depicts messages flowing across pools (organizational boundaries).
- Association: Connects an artifact or text to an event, activity, or gateway.
-
Swimlanes:
- Pool: Represents major participants in a process, potentially from different companies or departments.
- Lane: Sub-part of a pool that shows activities and flow for a specific role or participant within a process.
-
Artifacts:
- Data object: Shows the necessary data for an activity.
- Group: Indicates a logical grouping of activities without altering the diagram's flow.
- Annotation: Provides further explanation for a part of the diagram.
