This paper is intended to provide a high-level overview and introduction to the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). The context and general uses for BPMN will be provided as a supplement to the technical details defined the BPMN 1.0 Specification, which has been recently completed and released to the public. The basics of the BPMN notation will be discribed—that is, the types of graphical objects that comprise the notation and how they work together as part of a Business Process Diagram. Also discussed will be the different uses of BPMN, including how levels of precision affect what a modeler will include in a diagram. Finally, the value in using BPMN as a standard notation will be defined and the future of BPMN outlined.
