BPMN & Camunda: Guide To Business Process Modelling Notation

Explore basic objects in business process modelling by defining activities as tasks, learn simple rules for well-structured diagrams, and name activities using verb-noun formats (send order to client, submit form).

Explore event objects in BPMN, including start, intermediate, and end events, and the rule that a process must have a start and at least one end event.

Explore exclusive, parallel, and inclusive gateways in Camunda BPMN, with split and join, event gateway, and complex gateway for advanced process modeling.

Master the basic BPMN gateway rules: join to the same gateway type after a split if there is no intermediate event, and ensure gateways split to at least two elements.

Explore a BPMN delivery process example: start with start event, use a parallel gateway for username and password, then exclusive gateway for cash or card, and end with end event.

Learn how a sub process in Bpmn groups tasks into a compound activity, simplifying diagrams and revealing an expanded form marked by a blue arrow.

Explore loop, multi-instance, and ad hoc sub-processes in BPMN, illustrating repeated tasks, parallel identical subprocesses, and flexible, unordered execution through real-world examples.

Learn to identify BPMN start, intermediate, and end events by their symbols—a single circle, a double circle, and a filled black circle—and apply efficient event-use rules in business process modeling.

Explore the Camunda BPMN event types, including message, timer, conditional, signal, link, error, compensation, and escalation events, with practical examples and diagram conventions.

Explore the theory of catch and throw events in BPMN, differentiating catching events with a trigger from throwing events that trigger themselves, and why proper use ensures valid process models.

Explore submodel theory in BPMN by detailing private internal processes, abstract public processes, and collaboration global processes. Understand pools, sequence flows, as-is, and to-be representations with inter-entity interactions.

Explain how data objects, data stores, and other elements connect with message flows and association connectors, and show how an exclusive gateway splits the process flow with text annotations.

Describe a single pool BPMN diagram with three swim lanes—administrator, coordinator, panel—and a single start and end event, with admission file data and exclusive gateways guiding the final decision.

Explore the black box tool that represents an entity but hides the process. Show the entity name inside and illustrate its interactions with other entities via line arrows.

Learn best practices for pools and lanes in bpmn, including starting events in each pool, using connectors through lanes, and dashed lines between multi-pool processes to reveal mistakes.

Create a simple bpmn diagram in Camunda by adding activities and gateways, configuring start and end events, and labeling gateway conditions for a clear process flow.

Learn to create sub processes, work with intermediate events, and use data objects and naming formats to model and organize diagrams.

Model processes with pools and lanes in Camunda, create swim lanes and start events, and connect activities and throw and catch events, including black box pools.

Create live BPMN diagrams for a DevOps model across finance, IT, and supply chain, using pools and swimlanes to map requirements, backlogs, testing, automation, and production deployment.

Learn BPMN and Camunda through a warehouse management process with production and warehouse pools, four swim lanes, and start event, parallel gateway, and message events guiding goods to customers.

Demonstrate a three-pool consignment collection process in bpmn: production, logistic, and warehouse, with start and end events, data objects, and an exclusive gateway on stock availability.
