How to Use the Compensation Event in BPMN 2.0

Sometimes, we need to undo what we already did. That’s not just life—it’s business. I often face situations where a previous action must be reversed. Maybe a payment goes back. Maybe a service gets canceled. In BPMN 2.0, I model these reversals with compensation events. In this article, I’ll show you what the compensation event in BPMN is, when to use it, and how it works in practice. I’ll also explain an example to make it crystal clear.

Design and Analysis in the Business Process Lifecycle

Before any process can be automated, monitored, or improved, I first need to understand it. That is why design and analysis in business process lifecycle work matters so much. This phase helps me map workflows, understand stakeholder needs, identify weak points, and prepare better implementation. In this article, I show how strong analysis creates a clear foundation for every later lifecycle step.

How the End-to-End Process Transforms Business Efficiency from the Ground Up

When I first explored process optimization, I focused too much on single tasks. I fixed issues inside departments but missed the bigger picture. Then I discovered the end-to-end process. It showed me the full customer journey, from the first touchpoint to the final result. In this article, I explain why E2E thinking matters and how it connects your organization from front to back.

Process Types: How to Differentiate Core, Support, and End-to-End Processes

When I started working with business processes, I quickly learned that not all processes follow the same logic. Some create customer value. Others support that value creation. Some connect everything from start to finish. In this article, I explain how to differentiate process types, compare their purpose, and show practical examples that make each process type easier to understand.

Process vs. Algorithm – What’s the Difference?

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.
