The Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) is a graphical representation for specifying business processes in a business process model. The objective of BPMN is to support business process management, for both technical users and business users, by providing a notation that is intuitive to business users, yet able to represent complex process semantics (as explained by Wikipedia).
BPMN is an easy-to-express and insightful graphical representation that can be simple to understand by business users and technical users.
