stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, and employees
Enables the modeling of complex workflows, decision-making processes, and exception handling
Difference to basic flow charts: BPMN is focus-orientated (modelling business process and process improvement), use standardized
notation (symbols and rules), are more detailed and include built-in automation capabilities to update data to certain conditions
Benefits
