    BPMN 2 0-Tutorial

    This document provides an overview of Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). It describes what BPMN is, its primary components, why it is used, examples of BPMN diagrams, and how to address some of its limitations. BPMN is a standard notation for modeling business processes that is less complex than other notations like UML. It uses flowcharts and activity diagrams to represent the flow of activities, decisions, data, and events involved in business processes. While high-level, BPMN can also be made executable to formally define business process rules and flows.

    BPMN 2.

    0 Tutorial
    Daniel Brookshier Distinguished Fellow No Magic Inc.

    About the Tutorial

    Generated from MagicDraw UML Based on current BPMN 2.0 for UML reference implementation. Developed by Daniel Brookshier, Distinguished Fellow, No Magic Inc. danielb@nomagic.com

    What is BPMN ?
    Business Process Modeling Notation Developed by Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), and is currently maintained by the Object Management Group since the two organizations merged in 2005 Supports business process management for technical and business users Bridge communication gap between business process design and implementation

    What?
    BPMN is simple Process diagrams business people like Less complex (business likes that too) Under the covers, technical enough for techies

    What Does BPMN Not Do?


    State transitions Functional decomposition Organizational hierarchies Data modeling

    What is BPMN Like?

    Similar to flowcharts and UML Activity diagrams Flow of activities with various messaging and data Can be used for service orchestration in SOA

    Primary Components

    Why BPMN?

    Standard notation Model concepts and/or implementation of business process Models high-level process concepts Notation is not complex

    Issues With BPMN


    Limited complexity Process/conversation oriented Very high level Cannot see details of tasks or data

    Solving BPMN Issues ViaUML


    BPMN as an extension to UML Enhanced ability to implement complexity Link implementation with orchestration Greater tool support Fill in gaps with details state, decomposition, data, implementations

    BPMN for UML specification in progress at OMG

    Executable Verses Non-executable


    Process flows can be executable or non executable Executable process follows specific rules Formal condition expressions are typically not included in non-executable form Executable does not have Manual, Abstract, and other non-execution elements

    BPMN Diagram Zoo


    Process Flow of activity, decisions, data and events Collaboration Conversations and interactions (also process) Choreography Tasks performed by participants and how participants coordinate interactions via messages.

    Understanding Collaborations

    BPMN Choreography
    Sequence of interactions between Participants. Choreographies exist outside of or in between Pools. A Choreography Task is an atomic Activity in a Choreography Process. The task represents an Interaction, which is one or two Message exchanges between two Participants. Helps to show who initiates the activity and the first message.

    Process Symbols

    Activities
    Work that is performed within a Business Process. Activity can be atomic or non-atomic (compound) High-level, so does not describe the activity detail (not the job of BPMN) Three types: Task, Sub-process, and Transaction

    Activiy Symbols

    What are Sub Processes?


    Is in the context of the process and can access the contextual data. Can be expanded or collapsed to show detail of the sub-process or to hide the detail. Sub process MUST define an internal process with a start and end event. A sub process is only reusable within the parent process (i.e. it is not reusable in the overall design).

    Sub Process Symbols

    Gateways
    Gateways are used to control how Sequence Flows interact as they converge and diverge within a Process. Capable of consuming or generating additional tokens. Define decisions/branching (exclusive, inclusive, and complex), merging, forking, and joining.

    Gateway Symbols

    About Data Symbols


    Data Objects provide information about what Activities require and/or what they produce Represent a singular object or a collection of objects Data Input and Data Output provide the same information for Processes

    Data

    Event Symbols Types

    Start Events

    Intermediate Events

    End Events
    End Event indicates where a Process will end. In terms of Sequence Flows, the End Event ends the flow of the Process, and thus, will not have any outgoing Sequence Flows. No Sequence Flow can connect from an End Event. Depending on the type, other rules are enforced (like error handling and/or how the process is terminated).

    End Event Symbols

    End Events (1 of 3)

    End Events (2 of 3)

    End Events (3 of 3)

    Pools
    A Pool is the graphical representation of a Participant in a Collaboration. It also acts as a swimlane and a graphical container for partitioning a set of Activities from other Pools Usually in the context of B2B situations Pool MAY have internal details, in the form of the Process that will be executed Pool MAY have no internal details, i.e., it can be a "black box."

    Lanes

    Lane (Swimlane) is a sub-partition within a Process Extend the entire length of the Process Lanes are used to organize and categorize Activities

    Pool and Lanes

    CONDITIONAL FLOW

    Default Sequence Flow

    Exception Flow

    Data Flow

    Compensation Flow

    Message Flows

    Flow of Messages between two Participants that are prepared to send and receive them. A Message Flow MUST connect two separate Pools. They connect either to the Pool boundary or to Flow Objects within the Pool boundary. They MUST NOT connect two objects within the same Pool.

    Message Flows

    Message Flow Between Lanes

    Data Associations
    Data Associations are used to move data between Data Objects, Properties, and inputs and outputs of Activities, Processes, and GlobalTasks. Tokens do not flow along a Data Association, and as a result they have no direct effect on the flow of the Process. Used for retrieving data from Data Objects or Process Data Inputs to fill the Activities inputs and push the output values from the execution of the Activity back into Data Objects or Process Data Outputs.
