BPMN process mapping

A set of BPMN process-mapping exercises. Draw the model answer, choose which symbols participants may use, and share the session - participants draw their own diagram and get instant, structural feedback.

What is BPMN process mapping?

Teaching process modelling, you want participants to actually draw processes - not just read about them. You author a sequence of exercises: a task to model, the exact symbols allowed (pools, lanes, start/end events, tasks and XOR/OR/AND gateways), the reference map you draw yourself, and an explanation revealed at the end.

Participants join anonymously by QR code or link, draw each diagram in a touch-friendly editor limited to the symbols you chose, and press Send answer. The diagram is graded against your reference - right or wrong, with the differences highlighted and lane placement checked - while you watch everyone's progress live.

Features

Key capabilities

  • Built-in BPMN editor

    Drop pools, swimlanes, events, tasks and gateways onto the canvas and connect them with arrows - on desktop or phone.

  • You choose the symbols

    Limit each exercise's palette to just the symbols it should practise.

  • Automatic grading

    Each diagram is checked structurally against your reference, including which lane every shape sits in.

  • Instant visual feedback

    Participants see pass/fail with extra and missing elements highlighted, plus your explanation.

  • Diagram export

    Download the finished process diagram as PNG or PDF for your materials, or as XML to carry on in another tool.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Describe the task

    Write what the participant should model and pick the symbols they may use.

  2. Draw the model answer

    Draw the reference process in the editor and add an explanation.

  3. Run a session

    Run one exercise set for each group separately: show the join code, QR code or link, and participants join anonymously.

  4. Review results

    Participants get graded feedback instantly while you watch the live monitor.

Use cases

What it’s good for

  • Teach BPMN notation with hands-on drawing, not slides.
  • Have participants model a business process and check it automatically.
  • Practise swimlanes and responsibilities - who does what, in which lane.
  • Run a quick formative check that grades itself.
  • Teach BPMN notation by drawing rather than by slides
  • A process-mapping task that marks itself
  • Practise swimlanes and who is responsible for what
