are BPMN events depicted?
activites - ANSWER BPMN symbols: represents specific steps in a business
process
rounded rectangle with short verb phrase inside - ANSWER how are BPMN
activites depicted?
sequence flow - ANSWER BPMN symbols: show the normal sequence of
activities in a business process
solid arrows with arrow pointing in direct of process flow - ANSWER BPMN
& flowcharts: how are sequence flows depicted
gateway - ANSWER BPMN: shows process branching and merging as a result
of decisions
diamonds - ANSWER how are BPMN gateways depicted?
annotations - ANSWER BPMN & flowcharts: model elements that allow the
modeler to add additional descriptive info to the model
with text inside a bracket - ANSWER how are BPMN annotations depicted?
exclusive gateway - ANSWER BPMN: gateway where ONLY ONE path can
be taken
pools - ANSWER BPMN: used to identify participants, actors, or persons that
perform activites and interact with other participants in a process
