A visual description in a detailed level of how work is carried out. The model shows the BPMN standard (Business Process Modeling Notation). The notation allows modeling of roles, activities, applications, events, gateways, and data.
Purpose
The model is detailed enough to be used in educational purposes and to formulate requirements on IT. By following BPMN it is possible for developers to further elaborate the model in order to create a basis for system development.
Way of Working
- Create a swimlane for each person role that is an actor in the process step. Application modules can also me an actor in automated process steps.
- Synchronize the start and end event with the artefact that are input and output to the process step to find the right delimitation.
- Describe the main flow with activities in the order they are performed.
- Describe alternative and error flow using gateways.
- Add important intermediate events.
- If necessary, show what data is consumed/created/updated.
