What’s inside BPMN 2.0 Specification

In recent years BPMN 2.0 became a de facto standard in business process modeling and beyond and nowadays represents one of the focal technologies which support Business Process Management (BPM) initiatives.

The in-use version of the specification, namely BPMN 2.0, was released by OMG in 2011, with some minor changes in the following years. In 2013, BPMN 2.0.1 was released as ISO/IEC 19510:2013 standard to “create a standardized bridge for the gap between the business process design and process implementation.”  

The BPMN specification by itself is a 500+ pages long document, primarily aimed for implementers and having a specific internal structure. Due to its complexity, I’ve prepared an infographic, which outlines individual chapters’ focal topics.

On behalf of the organizers (Kathrin Figl, Roman Lukyanenko, Jan Mendling and Gregor Polančič), I also invite contributions for a Special Issue of Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) on the Impact of the Business Process Model and Notation.
