    • An event in a business process refers to an occurrence that triggers the process or a significant change in the process.

    Task vs. Activity

    • A task is a specific, well-defined piece of work that needs to be accomplished, whereas an activity is a broader process that may consist of multiple tasks.

    Decision Point

    Actors in a Process

    • An actor in a process is an individual or entity that performs a role in the process.
    • Internal actors are those who operate inside the organization where the process is executed.
    • External actors are those who operate outside the organization.
    • A customer is NOT considered an actor in a process, as they are the recipients of the outcome of the process.

    Process Outcome

    • The term used to describe the outcome of a process that delivers value to the actors involved is "result".
