FAQs

A Business Process Modeling Notation (or BPMN) diagram depicts the many steps in a business process in the form of a flow chart. Business professionals and stakeholders typically use the BPMN model to provide a high-level, at-a-glance understanding of important company processes using standardized notation that most collaborators will understand intuitively.

The possibilities are endless when you open a business process diagram template. But to streamline your thinking, there are a few things you’ll likely want to do:

- Understand the ins and outs of your process’s scope to pinpoint what you should be focusing on.

- Map your current system to identify existing inefficiencies, then identify benchmarks that you’d like to work toward.

- Plot out the necessary steps leading to those benchmarks. Create different versions as needed to accurately depict the process for each department, customer type, or stakeholder.

- Add directional arrows and other notations such as events, swimlanes, and artifacts to accurately depict the nuances of your newly mapped business process model diagram.

A business process modeling diagram includes various standard symbols that communicate information about the process. Start by using the following shapes in your model:

Circle – This represents key steps in the BPMN that start, modify, or end the process.

Rectangle – This shows the activities or tasks that make up your system.

Diamond – Use diamonds to depict gateways, which are points of decision in your process that lead to multiple paths.

Solid arrows – These illustrate how one activity leads to another.

Dotted arrows – These show the flow of information in your system.

Swimlanes – Each participant in the process has their own swimlane. When certain activities fall under the responsibilities of an individual, situate the activity in that person’s specific lane.
