Modeling Concepts

When I began modeling processes, I quickly learned that defining the what isn’t enough. I also needed to show the who. That’s why I love using BPMN Lanes in Camunda. Lanes help assign tasks to the right person, department, or system. They make process models readable and practical. In this post, I’ll show you exactly how to use them—step by step—with a clean, minimal example.

Understanding the difference between a process and an algorithm is essential in both business and technology. I often come across situations where these terms interchange, but they describe fundamentally different concepts. In this article, I’ll explain the difference between process vs. algorithm and show how they can complement each other.

When I first modeled business processes, I avoided complex gateways. Honestly, they looked intimidating. However, once I understood them, I realized how powerful they can be. In this post, I’ll show you what complex gateways do, when to use them, and how to model them with just a few BPMN elements. Let’s dive in.

I’ve often found process modeling to be incredibly useful in streamlining workflows. Therefore, understanding how to manage complex scenarios clearly is crucial. Today, I’ll dive deep into one powerful element in Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN): the event-based gateways in BPMN 2.0.

Have you ever stared at a process diagram and felt completely lost? Trust me, I’ve been there. Business processes often look simple at first glance. But when you dig deeper, things can get tricky. That’s exactly why understanding the process basic concepts is so important. Once you know the foundation, everything else becomes easier—faster, too. In this article, I’ll explain the ideas that help you truly understand how processes work. You’ll learn to recognize structure, follow flow, and spot problems before they grow.
