There has been a good response to the BPMN self-test. The scores have been lower than I expected, but I have gotten nice feedback from the answer sheet and expanations I send out afterward. It's fair to say that while the diagram patterns in question describe common business scenarios, they probably represent the part of BPMN that goes beyond traditional flowcharting. BPMN's appeal is its basic familiarity to flowcharters, but it offers a lot more. This is not technical IT stuff. It's business-oriented, just unfamiliar to many process modelers, even experienced ones. If you haven't taken the test yet, check it out.

What Is Method and Style?
While the various business modeling standards provide the foundational vocabulary and structures used for documenting and analyzing process diagrams (BPMN), decision models (DMN), and case management frameworks (CMMN), they do not offer specific methodologies for effective use.
