  • Key Concepts: 
    Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) is a graphical representation of business processes used by SAP Corporation. It is a standard notation for modeling business processes, allowing users to visualize, analyze, and optimize their processes. BPMN is used to create process diagrams that can be understood by both technical and non-technical users. 
    
    How to use it: 
    BPMN diagrams are created using a set of symbols that represent different elements of a process. These symbols are connected by arrows that indicate the flow of the process. The symbols are organized into four categories: activities, events, gateways, and artifacts. Activities represent tasks that need to be completed in order for the process to move forward. Events are points in the process where something happens, such as a decision or an action. Gateways are used to control the flow of the process, such as diverging or converging paths. Artifacts are used to provide additional information about the process, such as data or documents. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a BPMN diagram, it is important to keep it simple and easy to understand. Avoid using too many symbols or connecting them in a complex way. It is also important to make sure that all elements of the diagram are labeled clearly so that everyone can understand what they represent.
