Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a flow chart method that models the steps of a planned business process from end to end. A key to Business Process Management, it visually depicts a detailed sequence of business activities and information flows needed to complete a process.
At a high level, BPMN is targeted at participants and other stakeholders in a business process, to gain insights through an easy-to-understand visual representation of essential steps. At a more involved level, it’s targeted at the people who will implement the process, providing sufficient detail to enable precise implementation.
The existence of a standard for business process modeling, accessible and known by business analysts, customers, and technical teams, is of great help not only in business analysis, as a discipline, but also in the entire delivery process. Moreover, it's an easy and straightforward standard that does not require any previous technical background.
Most business activities can be considered as a process, and adopting a process mindset is the first step in optimizing these business activities. Workflows help orchestrate people to work together in accordance with a required process. Using workflow tools, processes will be executed according to a standard, therefore helping to provide and maintain the required quality. Workflows are a detailed way of connecting process steps and tasks, and of visualizing the whole process information flow end to end. This helps understand and improve process efficiency, and identify ways to change processes to improve customer experience or to account for changes in circumstances.
Visualizing processes can help stakeholders in a business process gain a better understanding of the dependencies between processes and process steps. It also helps to provide people charged with implementing the process with enough detail to enable precise implementation. Having clear digital and documented processes are the first steps in the continuous improvement cycle. Model, Implement, Execute, Monitor and Optimize are the key phases any business analyst or process improvement specialist will follow as they look for opportunities to improve process performance.
