It's IT who should make a step forward because business, not IT, owns the process. Many BPMN modelers (e.g. [[en:tool:bizagi_modeler]], [[en:tool:bpmn.io]]) don't support vertical arrangement. ===== See also ===== * [[time_flows_left_to_right]] * [[v_shaped_flow]] * [[connect_flows_to_any_side]] ===== Автор(ы) ===== --- //[[user:bell|Anatoly Belaychuk]] 2023-09-13 12:41//
