Business Process Model & Notation (BPMN)

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a standardized graphical notation for modeling business processes. It's more expressive than basic flowcharts, with symbols for events, activities, gateways, and swim lanes.

For UX designers working on enterprise software or complex workflows, BPMN provides a shared language for discussing processes with business analysts and developers.

Key feature: Swim lanes show which actor (department, system, user) is responsible for each step.
