Modeling conventions ensure the consistency of models across teams. They promote clear and transparent communication of process and service information.
The modeling conventions serve three goals:
Consistent modeling of the process and service architecture.
Smooth transformation into a BPMN diagram.
When modeling a model of the EPC type that is to be transformed into a BPMN diagram, several modeling rules must be observed. These are stricter than those for modeling EPCs that will not be transformed.
Improved quality and degree of detail in the BPMN diagram after transformation.
The stricter the business model observes these additional modeling guidelines, the higher the quality and degree of detail of the BPMN diagram after transformation.
