BPMN defines a Business Process Diagram (BPD), which is based on a flowcharting technique tailored for creating graphical models of business process operations. A Business Process Model, then, is a network of graphical objects, which are activities (i.e., work) and the flow controls that define their order of performance.
BPMN is developed by The Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI) and is updated by the BPMI Notation Working Group.
