Abstract
The aim of the article is to demonstrate that changes to business operations and the emergence of new ICT solutions necessitate the introduction of corresponding changes in the mode of describing processes, including the update of the most commonly used BPMN notation.
The first part of the article analyses the proposal to use multiple process description notations to model dynamically managed processes, as well as presents the direction of the development of process-driven systems (BPMS/ACMS). The second part of the article consists of an analysis of the requirements tied to updating the BPMN notation and presents an overview of the relevant literature in the scope of the proposed changes to the BPMN notation. The third part of the article consists of a proposal of updating the BPMN notation, allowing it to respond to the observed changes to business operations.
The article analyzes the requirements set before process description notations by dynamic business process management. It also contains a proposal of updating the BPMN notation. As a result of the implementation of the changes proposed in the article with respect to the principles of describing processes and updating the BPMN notation standard, the means of communicating knowledge with the use of process models will be improved. Accommodating the form of their presentation to the user interfaces of applications supporting management (ERP/CRM/EHR systems) will facilitate the intuitive understanding of process models by a broad range of knowledge workers.
