Hi @Al_ and @Matthew
I have a question which was asked during your presentation on the Gemini Call last week @Al_. Could different process modelling tools be used at different levels of aggregation? e.g. a space-time macro diagram and a BPMN to expand sub-processes?Hi @Anne, Yes, in a sense. The activity modelling is used to identify decisions that require information relating to material (actual) participants in those activities. If done rigorously there should be no need for any other information (I’ll add that risk management is also an activity and so you can identify information that you may need given some circumstances that there may be uncertainty about). Once done it is then straightforward to map to notations like BPMN (that, itself, may involve aggregation). BPNM is aimed at process execution semantics for business processes and they are an important part of an activity lifecycle but can’t be used to derive a spatiotemporal view without doing a s-t analysis.
