This resulted in implementation vendors adopting different standards (BPEL, XPDL, or JBPM’s JPDL) to store BPMN process models leading to not only a loss of portability across tools but also making it difficult to communicate across the various stakeholders.
Evolution of BPM StandardsĪlthough BPMN 1.1 comprehensively addressed process modeling notations, it was substantially missing to address an interchange format (for diagram exchange). Therefore we need standard tools to interpret them in the same manner. The shape, the symbols, the borders, the placement of the BPMN diagram elements, as well as their properties, have well defined meanings. One of the main value propositions of BPMN besides being a diagram standard is the precise semantics behind the diagram. It is able to capture everything from abstract process outlines to detailed process flows to implementation ready processes.It describes a business-friendly, flow chart-like graphical notation that business process analysts and business users can use to model business processes and has support for process interactions, exception handling, compensation semantics, and so on.īoth commercial and open source BPMS tooling vendors widely use BPMN for a set of reasons such as: BPMN stands for Business Process Modeling Notation and is a public standard by OMG. This tutorial introduces the essential features of BPMN 2.0.
