Conclusion

In this chapter we covered business process modeling notation and the creation of business process models. A simple example of using medical services and obtaining a prescription were used to describe introductory concepts. The chapter moved from there to cover more advanced topics of as-is and to-be process modeling using the fictitious case presented in the appendix.
