Can there be multiple terminating events (circles) on a BPMN diagram?

Yes, a BPMN diagram can have multiple End Events. This is normal and often used to model processes that can end in different ways.

Each End Event represents a separate path of process completion. For example, a process may end successfully, with an error, or cancellation — each option can have its own End Event.

Having multiple End Events helps to:

• Clearly define different termination scenarios.
• Simplify process logic.
• Improve readability and maintainability of the model.

It is important that all possible process paths lead to one of the End Events, otherwise the process may remain incomplete.
