BPMN
BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is a standardized graphical notation for modeling business processes in a workflow. It provides a visual language with symbols and diagrams to represent the steps, decisions, and flows in business operations, enabling clear communication and analysis. BPMN diagrams are widely used in business process management (BPM) to document, optimize, and automate workflows across organizations.
Developers should learn BPMN when working on business process automation, workflow design, or enterprise software projects, as it helps bridge the gap between business stakeholders and technical teams by providing a common visual language. It is essential for modeling complex processes in systems like ERP, CRM, or custom applications, and for implementing process engines in tools such as Camunda or Activiti. Using BPMN ensures consistency, improves collaboration, and supports compliance with industry standards.
