BPMN

Like flowcharts, BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagrams use a set of standard symbols. Each shape conveys a specific meaning and business context, where it’s most appropriate. Swimlanes (or swimlane diagrams) are used to organize aspects of the process.

Artifacts represent the pieces of information relevant to the model, and individual elements within a process. There are three artifact types, they are annotations, groups, and data objects. All three were used to augment and describe BPMN processes. Annotations allow modeler to describe the additional flow parts of a model/notation. Groups organize tasks/processes that have significance in the overall process.

Like flowcharts, BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagrams use a set of standard symbols. Each shape is having a specific meaning and business context where it’s most appropriate. If you become overwhelmed while drawing your BPMN chart, simply check this guide.

Like flowcharts, BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagrams uses a set of standard symbols. Each shape conveys a specific meaning and business context, where it’s most appropriate. Connecting objects are lines, that connect the BPMN flow objects. In Business Process Model and Notation, different connecting objects are required to represent different types of flows. There are three different types of connecting objects in Business Process Model and Notation. They are

The building blocks of BPMN are 'Flow objects'. which represents the concepts of being modeled. Flow elements refer to the elements, that form a complete process flow when connected are connected. Connectors that connect the flow elements are called connecting objects. Readers of the BPD follow the flow of elements to see, how a business process gets executed and completed. Flow objects can be separated into three. They are events, activities, and gateways.

The term 'Events' represents the events in a business process. Specific details in a process can be represented by styling each event. There are three event type in business process, they are start events, intermediate events, and end events. Following are the event symbols contained with start event, which can be combined with any event type. Some commonly used event symbols are following BPMN Message Symbol
