The BPMN standard utilizes visual models which are standardized, verifiable, and where the model can serve as both the documentation and as the executable source for workflow automation engines. BPMN workflows can be embedded directly as process tasks in CMMN models.

BPMN is often used with DMN to automate DMN decision sequences or determine process branching flows ( BPMN gateways).

Using BPMN, businesses can better understand themselves and other participants in their business ecosystem, thus enabling organizations to rapidly adjust to new internal and B2B business context changes.īPMN, DMN™ ( Decision Model and Notation™), and CMMN™ ( Case Management Model and Notation™), are all OMG visual modeling standards that can each be used independently yet were designed to be complementary. The BPMN standard provides businesses with the capability of understanding, documenting, and automating their internal business procedures and facilitates the understanding of collaborations and business transactions between different organizations.
