The BPMN notation
BPMN diagrams use symbols to visualize business processes. These symbols are categorized into four main groups:
1. Flow Objects
- Events Represent occurrences that affect the flow of the process (e.g., start, intermediate, end events).
- Activities Tasks or subprocesses that perform work(e.g., user tasks, service tasks).
- Gateways Decision points that control the flow(e.g., exclusive, parallel, inclusive gateways).
2. Connecting Objects
- Sequence flows Show the order in which activities are performed.
- Message flows Indicate communication between different process participants.
- AssociationLink artifacts to flow objects to provide additional information.
3. Swimlanes
- Pools Represent major participants or entities (e.g., departments, organizations).
- Lanes Sub-divide pools to represent roles or sub-categories within a participant.
4. Artifacts
- Data objects Show data required or produced by activities.
- Groups Organize and group elements for better understanding.
- Annotations Provide additional information and context to the diagram.
BPMN events, such as Message, Timer, Signal, and Error events, enable the creation of powerful patterns that are challenging to replicate with other systems.
