How To Create a Business Process Model (BPMN)

Drill-down Process Models to back-office materials and documentation

This tutorial will introduce creating a business process model, using the Viewer, Upload Excel Sheets, and Data Manager.

On Dragon1, you design a process using input, output events, decisions, activities, tasks, performance indicators, actors, stakeholders, applications, and technology.

Also, you can create a standard formal process model that does not communicate well, but is very correct on the theory side. And next, you can use that model to generate a very understandable view for strategic stakeholders, so they are willing to make decisions using this picture.

One of the great things is that you can publish your business process model interactively and dynamically to stakeholders. For instance, if you change the data in the repository or viewer, the change is immediately processed in the published visualization. Hence, people never have an outdated version of the truth.

You can create a drill-down process model to click through to back-office materials and documentation, like service-level contracts, procedures, or status reports.
