====== Avoid micromanagement ====== {{tag>task subprocess}} Activities executed by a single performer at a single workplace and within a limited timeframe should be modelled as a sinlge task, not as a series of tasks or a subprocess. ===== ✔ How to ===== ===== ✘ How NOT To ===== Flow_0q8h0gm Flow_0q8h0gm Flow_1e3prri Flow_1e3prri ===== Notes ===== Questions that face anyone who models processes in BPMN: to what level should the process be decomposed? Is it worth to depict how the task is performed? Although there may be exceptions (see [[#exceptions|below]]), it's generally not worthy because results in overcomplicated diagrams. Detailed instructions are valuable indeed but usually it's better to place them to the task description instead. Add step-by-step instructions, checklists, references to the operations manual etc. Focus on the coordination of tasks performed by different roles on the diagram level. Advanced BPMN modeling tools let user add description to a task and publish diagram accompanied by descriptions and other attributes as a document and/or hypertext. As an example, here is how it looks in [[en:tool:bizagi_modeler]] ({{:en:rule:micromanagement-bizagi.bpm|source file}}): {{:en:rule:micromanagement-bizagi.png?nolink|}} ===== Exceptions ===== It may make sence to depict the task logic if it's non-linear, e.g. if it contains gateways: Flow_02tq9nl Flow_17ec7i8 Flow_04c9p0u Flow_04c9p0u Flow_0qpv9hx Flow_1ay4hwu Flow_02tq9nl Flow_1ay4hwu Flow_17ec7i8 Flow_0qpv9hx ===== Author(s) ===== --- //[[user:bell|Anatoly Belaychuk]] 2023-07-31 15:39//
