Simplified process modeling<\/h3>

Anyone in your environment knows certain processes that are important in your daily life. For example, if you go to a supermarket, you can find replenishers who have to fill the shelves that are left empty, and for this they follow a specific process. The management of customer complaints in an online store also requires a predefined process. When you ask for a loan at a bank, the person you talk to has a clearly defined process in mind. Various processes are followed every day in the construction of a building… We could continue giving examples of this over and over again…<\/p>

Knowing the processes of your organization in which you participate is essential. This allows you to set clear objectives and guarantees, and drive collaboration when multiple people or systems need to interact to successfully complete a particular process. This is why organizations often have a digital repository of up-to-date process descriptions… and why, in the last 30 years, various software solutions for process modeling have emerged. In the early 2000s, the Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) standard was established as the de facto language for describing processes in organizations. The new version (BPMN 2.0), released in 2010, has been adopted by most process modeling providers.<\/p>

BPMN has enabled organizations to take a clear step towards automation. Even so, this standard is only accessible for highly technical functions. In our actual process examples above, none of the roles (store stock clerk, call center operator, bank worker, builder) seem to have the profile and technical background, but also not the time, to fully understand the 538 pages of the BPMN 2.0 specification. In practice, this inevitably prevents these people from describing in BPMN 2.0<\/a> the process they are involved in, even though they may be the best bet for accurately describing the process…<\/p>

The important barriers that any of the mentioned roles may encounter when using current solutions to model processes in BPMN 2.0 are:<\/p>
