And CMMN as Well
We knew that BPMN needed fixing, but CMMN didn’t fix it enough. This is another installment in the series on how we need to move beyond process models for automating work. The last post pointed to limitations in BPMN, and this post covers CMMN.
Time to Stop Using Business Process Models
Whew! It has been a few months since my last post in October on my way to the EDOC conference in Stockholm.
