In my last entry about object-oriented process modelling, I described HIM Roles and started to explain why they are nothing like swim lanes in procedural notations such as BPMN and the UML.
In this post I'll look at another crucial difference. This one may have you wondering how you ever managed to use procedural process notations in the first place.
Taking an example at random, let's suppose you are describing a process for creating a series of marketing brochures. One key player in this process is a graphic designer, responsible for creating the fonts, colours, images, and so on that are used in the brochures. Now let's suppose that the deadline for publication is brought forward, which results in there being too much work for the graphic designer alone. You need to bring in another graphic designer. How can you do capture this using (for example) BPMN?
