 Primary purpose of subprocesses is process diagram simplification by decomposition. Depicting subprocess expanded makes the diagram more complicated, hence it's usually better to use collapsed representation. Primary purpose of subprocesses is process diagram simplification by decomposition.

 +  * It may be handy to expand a subprocess for training/explanatory purposes but working process models should depict them collapsed.
   * It may make sense to depict a sub-process expanded if it's used not for decomposition, but as a special technique like the [[en:rule:control_branch | control branch]].   * It may make sense to depict a sub-process expanded if it's used not for decomposition, but as a special technique like the [[en:rule:control_branch | control branch]].
