Learning experiences are best when they’re shared. And you’ve just learned the core components of BPMN the graphical language used to model business processes in UiPath Maestro!
With this occasion, we invite you to share your “A-ha!” moments with us and fellow learners. If it’s easier for you to take some time and reflect on this lesson with some guidance, don’t hesitate to refer to one or more of the following questions:
What did I learn and did not expect?
What was difficult for me and how did I overcome it?
What is the most useful thing that I learned in this lesson?
Feel free to share with us and your peers whatever comes to your mind!
The course is well-structured and clearly defined for beginners. However, it would greatly benefit from the inclusion of more practical examples and real-world use cases to better connect theory with hands-on application.
I recently completed the short course on BPMN provided by UiPath Academy. It was a great introduction and quite helpful in understanding the basics. Thanks for providing the cheatsheet as well!
That said, I noticed a few areas where the example diagram could better align with BPMN 2.0 standards. Sharing a few suggestions to improve clarity and consistency:
Use proper verb-noun task names (e.g., “Match Invoice with PO” instead of “Invoice to PO Matching”) - Task Name should follow the “Verb + Noun” rule.
Resolve Discrepancies appears twice - Use of Annotations to describe Human vs Agent Task can be replaced by individual swim lanes or a simple renaming, such as “Resolve Discrepancy by Human” and “Resolve Discrepancy by Agent”.
Use correct task types — for example, “Notify Vendor” should be an Email Task or End Message Event.
Avoid overusing annotations — prefer lanes and proper symbols to convey role/system clarity. There are too many Annotations used in the diagram which doesn’t justify their use. I believe in “Less is More” to bring more clarity to the BPMN diagram.
