Basic BPMN constructors A data object represents information flowing through a process such as a document, email, or letter A data store is a place where the process can read or write data such as a database or a filing cabinet. It exists even outside the whole process

A pool/lane may be an organization, a role, or a system. Lanes further subdivide pools or other lanes hierarchically. Activity 1 Activity 2Activity 3 Lane 1 Lane 2 start end

Basic BPMN constructors - Gateways Exclusive Gateway - When splitting, it routes the sequence flow to exactly one of the outgoing branches. When merging, it awaits one incoming branch to complete before triggering the outgoing flow. X or

10. © COPYRIGHT 1999-2014. PENTATHLON SYSTEMS RESOURCES INCORPORATED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED I. Basic BPMN constructors - Gateways Inclusive Gateway - When splitting, one or more branches are activated. All active incoming branches must complete before merging.

Basic BPMN constructors - Gateways Parallel Gateway - When used to split the sequence flow, all outgoing branches are activated simultaneously. When merging, parallel branches wait for all incoming branches to complete before triggering the outgoing flow +

19. © COPYRIGHT 1999-2014. PENTATHLON SYSTEMS RESOURCES INCORPORATED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED III. Basic SIGs Symbols - Interdependency “to satisfice” means to be good enough when one positive “+” symbol is added to an arrow, this indicates that there is “help” or some “weak positive contribution” that helps satisfice a softgoal but does not satisfice it just by itself +

20. © COPYRIGHT 1999-2014. PENTATHLON SYSTEMS RESOURCES INCORPORATED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED III. Basic SIGs Symbols - Interdependency when two positive “++” symbols are added to an arrow, this indicates that there is a “make” or some “strong positive contribution” that can satisfice a softgoal by itself ++

21. © COPYRIGHT 1999-2014. PENTATHLON SYSTEMS RESOURCES INCORPORATED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED III. Basic SIGs Symbols - Interdependency when one negative “-” symbol is added to an arrow, this indicates that there is a “hurt” or some “weak negative contribution” that hampers the achievement of a softgoal but does NOT by itself, prevent satisficing the softgoal -

Basic SIGs Symbols - Interdependency when two negative “--” symbols are added to an arrow, this indicates that there is a “break” or some “strong negative contribution” that by itself, prevents the achievement of the softgoal --

Sample BPMN + SIGs together The following symbol is used to link an operationalizing method (from SIGs) to a business process activity task (from BPMN) and is referred to as an “operationalization target link” For now, we can link BPMN and SIGs with this symbol. In tutorial 3 - component representation, we discuss further refinements to this symbol
