BPMN/ Business Process Model and Notation/ BPMN 2.0 - Coggle Diagram
BPMN/ Business Process Model and Notation/ BPMN 2.0
Key Elements
4 Main Groups of Shapes
Flow Objects
Events
Activities
Budling blocks of the BPMN Diagram
Gateways
Connecting objects
Pools and Swim lanes
Artifacts
All other observations that makes the UML
BPMN/ Business Process Model and Notation/ BPMN 2.0
Flow chart method that models the steps of a planned business process from start to finish
Help Stakeholders gain understanding through a visual representation of a specific process
Helps Process participants, Analyst, Managers, Technical developers
Great way to communicate complex processes to stakeholders
Notation and their sginificance
Events
Start
Each process in a BPMN Diagram must begin with an initiating event call the start event
Depicted using a circle with a thin boarder
Ex: Start event with a envelop icon in the middle indicates that a message has arrived
Intermediate
Has a double boarder made of two circles
End
Signify the end of a particular process or a path within the process
Nothing else needs to be done after that point
End events has a thick border
Can be further designated by several symbols
Will have at least one start event and one end evet
Activities
Represents specific task performed by a person or system
Shown by a rectangle with rounded corners
Types
Task
Single action that occurs in a business process
Mailing a letter
Edit draft
Represent actions performed by process participants
Can be further designated with icons to visually show important attribute
Subprocess
Transaction
Call
Gateways
Represented by a diamond shape and are decision points that can adjust the process path of the flow based on certain conditions
Create a condition that choice needs to be made
Several different types of gateways differentiated with symbols
Not decisions nor do they make decisions
Dictate the flow of the process
Connecting objects
Lines present in every BPMN Diagram
Show the order of activities to be performed
Types
Sequence Flow symbol
Solid line with an arrow at the end
Shows the main order of activities to be performed
Message Flow symbol
Dotted line that depicts messages that flow across pools
Association symbol
Shows relationships between artifacts and flow objects
Pools and Swim lanes
Represents a major participants in a objects
Swim lanes
Show participants with in each company
Who is accountable for the process so no important steps are missed
Artifacts
Bring added level of detail
Types
Data
Represents data placed in to the process, Data resulting from the process, Data that needs to be collected, Data that needs to be stored
Groups
Organizes tasks or processes that has significance to the overall process
Logical grouping of activities and not related to the flow at all
Annotation
Opportunities to describe additional low paths of the BPMN diagram
Comments that can be used to explain complex part of a process
