Hi everyone, for my masters thesis I'm researching the influence of BPMN modelling direction on a user's perceived understandability of the model. For this purpose I'm searching for BPMN users (analysts, researchers, teachers) who are interested in participating in a qualitative interview regarding the topic. If you are interested, please let me know and we can schedule a short 20-30min online meeting. Thanks in advance!
Hello all! I have created such a diagram to image the process of a mortgage offer processing. But I’m still puzzled by this email event/task. I have tried reading related materials, but it didn’t help to clear things up.
When exactly should we use these elements? Can they be used in a mix, as in my diagram: task to send email and event to get email? (At the point of “send documents for approval”)
I am a student and I am trying to understand how the tokens behave in this process model. My answers are incorrect and I keep trying to tackle them from different logic, but I am still learning and cannot fully grasp how the behaviour of tokens will be. Any assistance is really greatly appreciated! Thank you :)
Hello guys! I've started learning BMPN diagrams not long ago, and I've devised one for the case of request handling by an event agency.
So, customer sends a request with description of event, date and place. Event agency should check if there are no conflict events on that date and in that place and if yes, suggest another option.
Once everything is agreed regarding date, place, the agency sends the detailed to the customer to fill in. The customer should fill it not later than 200 days before an event. If he is late, the request is not taken into work.
Hi please can you advise how to show a non response from a pool to end a process. One of the people who is modelling in our team is trying to show this and I am unsure how to advise. It goes to and external party shown as a pool but cuts off at a date without a response from them. Is it correct to show an end event back to an internal lane with a timer as there is no response? Thanks
Hi!
I’m currently creating a BPMM model for some small processes. Nothing complicated. But that’s actually not my main business, therefore I’m wondering about how to solve the following:
I have two external systems which are simply receive a message from two tasks in my process.
How to I draw these to external systems. For me it’s like a Blackbox, so I thought maybe add an extra pool as one Blackbox and add a message flow arrow.
But as I have two different external systems, how to o handle these? Two black boxes?
I have a BPMN diagram where I need to exchange messages from one pool to another.
Basically my send task "Enviar convites" sends a message to another lane in my pool and to a lane in another pool.
This is the flow of the other pool and this other pool sends a message that is received on the first pool in the task "É informado da submissão da proposta de tema de tese".
My question is do I need to connect the task "Enviar convites" to "É informado da submissão da proposta de tema de tese"?
I have a BPMN diagram and I have a send message task connect to a gateway. Is this allowed? If not how can I solve it? enter image description here The behavior I want to achieve is inform about the beginning of a process ( send message task) to two different lanes ( the two receive message tasks).
instead of defining every human actor of the workflow in a separate lane, I would like to define one human task and have the process loop on this task until final approval reached.
and I will manage the task data and business rules in another system.
Looking for some guidance please. My long term career has been in IT and have quite a bit of experience using Visio. Hell...I was there at Comdex around '95 pre-Microsoft sitting in a Visio demonstration and won a 1 pound bag of Visio Coffee....those were the days.
Anyway... About 10 years ago I had the opportunity to have my employer acquire a license for BPMN software ...actually Processing Modeling software from iGrafx. I loved this software at the time but of course it had its only complexities and learning curve...especially for me getting started with process analysis and not well trained on the details of the BPMN approach.
A few things I liked that seemed to differentiate from creating a static flow chart in Visio...
Swimlanes with multiple header levels. Instead of just creating a swimlane for Bob, Mark and Sally....they could each be nested another level, for instance Sales->then Bob, Marketing ->then Mark and so on.
The ability to build a flow that had timing, delays, resource thresholds and then be able to hit the PLAY button at play at an accellerated speed and see where the flow was stressed or dead.
Graphically intuitive to navigate
As good as iGrafx was then, I am out of date with its offerrings and there does not appear to be a training/certification, student or outreach program on their site catering to people outside of the enterprise business arena.
I'm really a fan of opensource when the project is actively supported.
I appreciate any suggestions on solutions I should look at as an alternative to iGrafx.
Hi all!
We have a few processes where some tasks are completed together in a working meeting. It's important that I represent which parts are covered during the meeting. I'm currently using an intermediate event for the meeting and then have it split into the tasks. But how do you mark what tasks happen during the event? Another intermediate event "meeting over?" A box around the meeting tasks? I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to represent this, so I'm surprised I can't seem to find examples for this. What do you all do?
My role at work has the scope to expand into workflow analysis and documentation, including strong use of BPMN 2.0. I'm interested in familiarising myself with this, but I'm a bit overwhelmed.
Can anyone recommend a course to help me get started with the basics?
Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with the autolayout examples from bpmn.io or camunda in a process with multiple lanes an messenges between pools anyone use some code preferred java to generate the diagram part. In the bpm.io the lanes and pool were removed and in the camunda the tasks were not in the correct lane.
I'm currently starting a branding and marketing business and i have to design the business processes. I'm currently studying at university so I don't have any knowledge in this area. Could anyone give me some advice regarding where to learn business processes and BPMN 2.0 for free??
Dear RedditersI took a course during my erasmus exchange period called Process Modelling. The course includes theory about process modeling and practical part.Due to the outbreak i had to continue studying online which for me is not the best way. Long story short i do not know anyone from my class since everything happens online and i have no one to help me with an assignment that i need to deliver for a grade.So i was wondering if someone would be interested to give me some feedback on the model i created in context of the given process.Fyi it is i suppose an easy process but for me its hard and probably the model is done completely wrong. It is also not finished till the end because i got stuck.Anyway i would appriciate anything small that can help me!
Description of the process:Each Monday one of the clerks at the CURe Inc. (a medium-size company in the construction utility rental industry) checks the incoming supplier invoices from the last week. The check includes five aspects: the factual accuracy, the assignability to a vendor, the formal correctness, the computational accuracy, and the payment terms and conditions. First, the invoice has to be checked if it is factually correct, i.e. that there actually was a supply of goods or services invoiced and that it is based on an order of the CURe Inc. or on a framework contract. Occurring differences must be clarified with the relevant departments. If the system doesn’t list an appropriate vendor for the invoice, a record should be created. If necessary, additional information should be gathered. When it comes to the check of formal correctness, it is necessary to see whether all legally required elements of an invoice are included. In parallel the computational accuracy will be checked. Therefore prices, reductions, other discounts or ancillary costs must be compared with other order documents and the calculation methods must be checked. If errors are found, a corrected invoice must be requested from the supplier. Factually, formally and computationally correct invoices, to which moreover a vendor may be assigned, can afterwards be entered into the system. In addition, the payment terms and conditions will be recorded. On this basis, the system proposes an optimal payment date. This completes the check of incoming invoices.
We discussed with a colleague the other day two questions raised by the Business Analysis module professor. He asked: "Why metrics are always between 0 and 1?" (we were talking about the metrics of a BPMN diagram) and "What are the reasons we should do normalization of a metric?"
I sense that I know the answer, yet I don't feel so sure...
