[BPMN] Aim for the architecture repository


 It is common to encounter BPMN diagrams those days.  The modeling notation is victim of its success and broadly use in the workplace. But what about its core definition, it’s standards, they are simply washed away by the urge to draw quickly an interpretation of a business process. Basically a quick win.
If you want your work to end up at the correct place: the architecture repository, then spend some extra time to review and improve your diagrams.
Re-open the specifications, check some basic rules.
For ex.:
·         A subprocess MUST have a None start event; it’s a spec violation to have a triggered start in a subprocess
·         Message flow represents communication between the process and an external entity.


 Happy modeling!
