Business Process Elements: Conversations

Design Elements: Conversations

The Conversation-Model view the process model "who with whom and what". All process participants can be included in a compact form of modeling as long as denoting which communication is involved.

ConceptDraw has 142 vector stencils in the 8 libraries that helps you to start using software for designing own Business Process Diagrams.

Use Conversations library with 11 objects from BPMN. Process participants are represented as Pools in Conversation-Models. The Communication-Shape defines a set of logically related message exchanges which are tied to Pools via Conversation-Links. If there is a multi-instanced Pool (also introduced with BPMN 2.0) involved, a Forked Conversation-Link is used for it.

Business Process Elements: Conversations *

Conversations library from Business Process Diagram solution provides 11 vector stencils for conversation objects (hexagons), links and participants.

Use the Conversations library to draw the BPMN 2.0 Conversation model diagram that shows the conversations between the participants of business process as a high level overview without the individual message flow and process logic.

THREE RELATED HOW TO's:
A flowchart is a powerful tool for examining processes. It helps improving processes a lot, as it becomes much easier to communicate between involved people, to identify potential problems and to optimize workflow. There are flowcharts of different shapes, sizes and types of flowchart vary from quite basic process flowcharts to complex program flowcharts. Nevertheless, all these diagrams use the same set of special symbols like arrows to connect blocks, parallelogram to show data receiving or rectangles for showing process steps. Basic flowcharts are used to represent a simple process algorithm. A basic flowchart notation consists of rectangles (business processes), arrows (the flow of information, documents, etc.). The same notation is used in items such as the "decision", which allow you to do the branching. To indicate the start of the entire business process and its termination can be used the "Terminator" element. The advantages of Basic Flowchart are simplicity and clarity. With it you can quickly describe the business process steps. Creating of Basic Flowchart does not require any special knowledge, as easily understand by employees with different levels of education and IQ.Types of Flowchart - Overview
