BPMN Explained – Part 2

By |2014-10-15T10:22:54-07:00October 15th, 2014|BPMN|

Yesterday I tried to explain BPMN to those who don't know what it is.  OK, they are probably saying, if BPMN is so great, why do I hear these complaints about it?  Yes, that's a good question. First, you need to understand exactly who is complaining.  If it's a legacy tool vendor wedded to their [...]

BPMN Explained

By |2016-12-29T13:40:01-08:00October 14th, 2014|BPMN|

On Twitter someone posted to me: "Have you ever seen a short overview of BPMN that makes sense to people who have never heard of it?"  Hmmm... Probably not.  So here is my attempt. Business Process Modeling Notation, or BPMN, is a process diagramming language.  It describes, in a picture, the steps in a business [...]

Visualizing Responsive Processes

By |2016-12-29T13:40:01-08:00May 23rd, 2014|BPMN|

Merging BPMN and CMMN standards in OMG is, for the moment at least, a dead issue.  The question remains how best to visually represent logic formerly known as case management, which I will henceforth refer to as responsive processes.  Responsive processes are driven forward by events (including ad-hoc user action) and conditions, rather than by [...]

Method and Style Wizard Generates BPMN Automatically

By |2014-05-20T16:23:52-07:00May 20th, 2014|BPMN, bpmnPRO|

itp commerce has just released a new BPMN Method and Style wizard that automatically creates well-structured BPMN from a simple interview.  In my BPMN training, the "Method" is the hardest part because it asks students to describe the process top-down and abstractly, as opposed to the bottom-up "what came next?" format of the SME fact-finding.  [...]

BPMN and CMMN Compared

By |2016-12-29T13:40:01-08:00May 14th, 2014|BPMN|

IBM's presentation at bpmNEXT of their implementation of case management inside of BPMN (and their subsequent launch of same at Impact) inspired Paul Harmon to start a lively thread on BPTrends on whether BPMN and CMMN should be merged.  To me the answer is an obvious "yes," but I doubt it will happen anytime soon.  [...]

By |2014-04-14T11:24:24-07:00April 14th, 2014|BPMN, bpmnPRO|

BPMN as an Execution Language

By |2016-12-29T13:40:01-08:00April 4th, 2014|BPMN, BPMS|

One of the reasons that BPMN so quickly displaced BPEL in the BPM space is it had a graphical notation that exactly mirrored the semantic elements. What you see is what you get.  So whenBPMN 2.0 changed the acronym to Business Process Model and Notation, I stubbornly refused to acknowledge the "and".  For me it [...]
