2. What is a BPMN Diagram?

A BPMN diagram is a standardized graphical notation that illustrates business processes in a workflow. It helps stakeholders—from analysts to developers—understand, communicate, and optimize operations efficiently. BPMN uses flow objects like events, tasks, gateways, and sequence flows to represent steps and decisions in a process.

3. Supported BPMN Features

MassiveDiag Playground supports the core elements of BPMN including:

  • Start, intermediate, and end events
  • User and service tasks
  • Exclusive and parallel gateways
  • Sequence flows and message flows
  • Pools and lanes for organizational roles
  • Sub-processes and call activities
  • BPMN XML syntax compatibility
