Business Process Management (BPM) - BPMS Watch: Learning to "Do" BPM

BPM Institute sat down and decided to write an article on how to do BPM

Business Process Management (BPM) - BPMS Watch: Learning to "Do" BPM: "BPMN is a bit different than traditional flowcharts or swimlane diagrams. Those notations came out of a human workflow paradigm, in which a process is largely defined by handoffs between people. BPMN supports human workflow, but it also supports SOA, the notion that a process can also orchestrate the various IT systems around the enterprise through service interfaces. So it includes support for things like events and transactions, and makes exception handling explicit in the process model. Thus if you use BPMN to its fullest, you could say it is perhaps more challenging conceptually than traditional flowcharting."
