What is BPMN?
The universal language of business process
BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is a standard way to visualize how a business process works using a predefined set of symbols. A BPMN diagram is a kind of flowchart used by project managers, business analysts, and IT teams to show how a workflow moves from start to finish—including tasks, decisions, events, and responsibilities—so teams can understand the process without long documents.
Each BPMN notation has a specific meaning, making BPMN diagrams easy to read for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The latest standard, BPMN 2.0, allows teams to model even complex workflows with clarity and consistency, making it the most widely used format for process mapping today.
