BPMN Message Events and Message Flows Explained
In this how-to video, you will learn how to use BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation)–message events and pools in particular–to model a true end-to-end process that crosses multiple boundaries; integrates multiple processes and participants; and includes asynchronous communication. Using the example of fulfilling a customer order in a coffee shop, Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan shows how to set up a process canvas, how to use collapsed pools to represent different participants and how they relate to each other, and how to use expanded pools to map the different actions and communications that happen in the end-to-end process.
