What is BPMN?

BPMN allows us to capture and document business processes of an organization in a clear and consistent way, that ensures relevant stakeholders, such as, process owners and business users are involved in the process. Thus, the team can response to any issues identified in the processes more effectively. BPMN provide comprehensive and yet rich notations that can easily be understood by both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
