 +===== Notes =====
 +
 +  * If a subprocess isn't followed by a gateway then it is assumed that the subprocess is always successful which usually isn't the case. A subprocess not followed by a gateway may be not a mistake but should raise question whether we anticipate the possibility of unsuccessful subprocess completion.
 +  * This rule is applicable to embedded subprocesses and call activities calling a process, collapsed and expanded subprocesses.
 +===== Exceptions =====
 +
 +  * Deal negotiation in the "How not to" diagram above may be always successful if it's concluded between affilated parties, e.g. a business unit company and a shared services company belonging to a single group. No need for a gateway in this case.
