When I started modeling processes, I learned that the what is not enough. I also need to show the who. That is why I use BPMN Lanes in Camunda. Lanes assign tasks to people, teams, departments, or systems. As a result, my process models become clearer, more practical, and easier to discuss. In this guide, I show you how to use them step by step.

Understanding the difference between a process and an algorithm helps in business and technology. I often see both terms mixed up, but they describe different ideas. A process shows how work flows through people, roles, and results. An algorithm defines exact steps to solve a problem. In this article, I explain process vs. algorithm and show how both concepts can support each other.
