Can you explain what BPMN notation is and why it is used in business processes?

BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is a standardized notation for modeling business processes. It is used for visual description of the sequence of actions, participants, events, and decisions in a business process.

The main goal of BPMN is to make business processes understandable for both technical specialists and business analysts. This helps improve communication, automate processes, and optimize company operations.

Examples of BPMN elements:

• Events (start, end)
• Tasks (actions)
• Flow controls (arrows indicating order)
• Gateways (conditional splits)

BPMN is widely used for documenting, analyzing, and automating processes in business management systems.
