When I work with complex systems, I need clarity and structure. Therefore, I use requirements modeling to express information in a clear way. I want to understand what the system must deliver and communicate this to all stakeholders. Because of this, I always choose the right modeling language with care. Although many diagram types exist, I begin with one guiding question: what is my purpose?

When I model business processes, I also prepare for failure. Not every task works as planned. That is why I use an error event in BPMN. It helps me show where something can go wrong and how the process should react. In this article, I explain the main error event types and show how they create clear failure paths in a real-world BPMN example.

When a customer message changes a process, I need a clear BPMN response. That is when I use an attached message event in BPMN. It can interrupt a task or react without stopping the current work. This helps me model feedback, urgent updates, and alternative paths in a clean way. In this article, I explain the concept with a simple BPMN 2.0 example step by step.

Sometimes, a business process must undo a completed action. A payment may be refunded, or a service may be canceled. In BPMN 2.0, I model this with the compensation event in BPMN. It helps me show how a process reacts when earlier work needs to be reversed. In this article, I explain what compensation events are, when I use them, and how they work with a simple example.

A signal event in bpmn helps me model communication without one fixed receiver. I use it when a process must announce something broadly and any listening process may react. In this article, I explain all BPMN 2.0 signal events with simple examples, clear use cases, and practical modeling tips. Let’s dive in.

Leadership starts with daily behavior. It shows in how I speak, listen, and decide. Therefore, I see leadership as a visible attitude, not only as a title. Leadership values help me create orientation when pressure rises. They also guide me in complex situations. In this article, I focus on appreciation, communication, responsibility, judgment, equal opportunities, and motivation. As a result, leadership becomes clearer and easier to follow.

I use draw.io to turn ideas into clear diagrams. However, the editor view can distract during a presentation. Menus, panels, and toolbars help me while I work. But they can also pull attention away from the final diagram. Therefore, I use presentation mode in draw.io. It gives me a cleaner view. As a result, I can present my diagram clearly and guide my audience through each part step by step.

The system boundary of T2 defines which responsibilities belong to T2 and which belong to its environment. I use this boundary to separate the T2 core from connected TARGET Services and shared infrastructure. T2 combines Central Liquidity Management (CLM) and Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS). Other services exchange liquidity, data, or settlement instructions with T2, but that does not make them part of T2. A clear boundary therefore keeps requirements, interfaces, ownership, and testing precise.

When I analyse T2 in TARGET Services, I do not treat it as an isolated payment system. I place it inside the wider Eurosystem infrastructure for payments, securities, instant payments, and collateral. This context matters because many important T2 requirements arise at service boundaries. Liquidity moves between systems. Collateral affects credit. Settlement depends on connected services. Therefore, I first define the landscape, responsibilities, and interfaces before I analyse individual T2 functions.
