BPMN has gone from sounding like a boring acronym to feeling like a thrilling workflow adventure! I love how you broke down all those shapes and lines. It's like art class for business geniuses. I definitely feel more prepared to tackle those entries and swim lanes now. Thanks!

[@thebadoc]

Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful and exciting! It's good that you are feeling more prepared as BPMN is crucial skill for a practitioner business analyst.

[@rembautimes8808]

The rigor and specification is invaluable. In my experience, I have not encountered a conforming BPMN diagram as BAs usually don't follow the rules and best practices. So this guide helps folk depict business processes accurately, clearly and concisely. Wonderful content. 10 out of 10

[@thebadoc]

Thank you so much for that awesome review. Yes, using a standard BPMN throughout the organization can really help with consistency and a create shared understanding of the notation.

Thank you, great information and easy to follow and understand! I'm in an Advanced Accounting Information Systems online class and the book was not easy to comprehend.

[@thebadoc]

You're very welcome! Glad the content resonated with you. I'm not sure of your information systems class covers ERDs, data flow diagrams, and UML diagrams but I have videos on those as well if you are interested. Best of luck with your class!

[@StellaV-z4t]

What an excellent and complete description of BPMN! I liked how you broke down the components and rules. It makes it much less intimidating. The example of the loan underwriting procedure was right on and quite relevant! Anyway, how should beginners approach creating their first BPMN diagram? Would love to hear your take!

[@thebadoc]

Interesting question! Beginners should approach creating their first BPMN diagram by starting with a clear understanding of the process they want to model, breaking it down into sequential steps. Begin with the core elements: events (start, end), activities (tasks), and gateways (decision points), keeping the diagram simple and focusing on the primary workflow. Use swimlanes to assign responsibilities to different roles or systems and follow the BPMN standard for symbols to ensure clarity. Validate the diagram by walking through the process step-by-step with stakeholders to confirm accuracy and completeness, refining as needed. I hope that gets you off to a good start.

[@pinkandglamuk]

Thank you for this tutorial. I needed to understand more about the sub process and its usage.

[@thebadoc]

You are very welcome! Sub-processes are a big point of confusion for a lot of people. Happy to help clarify that for you!

[@aneesasheraz5662]

Is bmp and bmpn the same?

[@thebadoc]

No. BPM refers to business process management, which is a broader concept that involves activities for optimizing and re-engineering existing business processes. BPMN, on the other hand, is a specific business process modeling notation, with it's own set of rules and standards. BPMN can be used as one of the means to facilitate the execution of BPM. But many notations can be used such as BPMN, UML, or IDEF. I hope that helps.

I tried to connect with you for correction require for my BPMN process map

Hi, Sakthi! Are you looking to do a one-on-one coaching session? If so, you can book one here: thebadoc.com/services/ola/services/one-on-one-coaching-session

[@francisezebulachi5133]

I think your process map (last in the video) is wrong based on BPMN 2.0 standards. You should check it

[@thebadoc]

Thanks for that feed back. Can you specify what you think is wrong, so I can review?

[@Seb0815-i4g]

@@thebadoc Every pool needs at least 1 start event and 1 end event. It must be possible to reach at least one end event in the same pool from each start event (of the same Pool) via a continuous sequence flow. Every activity must have at least 1 incoming and 1 outgoing sequence flow. There are must not be dead ends following the sequence flow. Message flows can’t be used to transfer the sequence flow between pools (they are just for necessary communication between pools). That are just a few annotations imho.
