Business Process Incubator

This module describes the major characteristics of BPMN Gateways.

In BPMN, Gateways can define all the types of Business Process Sequence Flow behavior:

• Decisions/branching (exclusive, inclusive, and complex),


• merging,


• forking, and


• joining.

This module objectives are to:

• Identify the graphical element as stated in the BPMN specification;


• Present it visually;


• Describe what it does;


• Identify and describe its markers, types, or specialized utilization.

We also describe how it is connected to other graphical elements, and what are the constraints imposed, if any.
