| - Some authors argue that conditional flows decreases the number of elements on the diagram which is good. It's doubtful argument because the gateway is a valuable element - it shows explicitly the points in the process where the process route may vary. Conditional flows makes the process logic less transparent. | * It's sometimes argued that conditional flows saves one element (the gateway) and hence makes the diagram simpler. This argument is hardly acceptable because the gateway adds value to the diagram by making process execution logic clear. |
| - Conditional flows are idependent, hence the inclusive gateway in the "How to" diagram above. | * Conditional flows outgoing from an activity are idependent, hence the inclusive gateway in the "How to" diagram above. |
