What is Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN)

CMMN is a graphical notation used for capturing work methods that are based on the handling of cases requiring various activities that may be performed in an unpredictable order in response to evolving situations. Using an event-centered approach and the concept of a case file, CMMN expands the boundaries of what can be modeled with BPMN, including less structured work efforts and those driven by knowledge workers. Using a combination of BPMN and CMMN allows users to cover a much broader spectrum of work methods.

Gap analysis involves the comparison of actual performance with potential performance. For example, a company does not make the best use of current resources, it may perform below an idealized potential.

Cross-Functional Flowchart – with Templates and examples

Cross functional flow charts show who did what and when in swimlane or grid charts. These charts are organized into multiple parts to provide additional dimensions by assigning each process step to a category. In other words, you can use a cross functional flowchart to describe the relationship between the steps in the process and the department or functional area responsible for those steps.

A Comprehensive Guide to BPMN

BPMN stands for Business Process Modeling Notation. BPMN is very similar to the concept of flowcharting that has been around since the 1980s. Like flowcharting BPMN modeling has the aim of allowing a person to map a workflow in such a way that it can be understood easily by other interested parties.

BPMN —Quick Guide

The Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI) has developed a standard Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). The BPMN 1.0 specification was released to the public in May 2004. The specification represents more than two years of work by the BPMI Notation Working Group. In February 2006, the OMG released a BPMN specification document. Version 2.0 of BPMN was developed in 2010 and the actual version of the specification was released in December 2013.
