Short summary

The BPMN Quick Reference Guide is a small app that serves as a great reference for BPMN 2.0 modellers.

Personal opinion

I have reviewed Android version 2.0 (Lite) of the app which has recently been released. The app has very nice and clear interface. The main screen displays several categories which can be tapped .

After selecting a category a list with appropriate figures and explanations appears. Scrolling the list is easy. The images are crips and pleasant for the eyes. The explanations are short and effective. Just as it should be in a quick reference guide.

The Lite edition is free, but limited to descriptions of Activities and Gateways. The paid version offers additional descriptions for:

- Lanes and Pools
- Data
- Events
- BPMN examples

Is this app all great than? Well, I’ve only one thing that I like less is the display of a header and footer in the list while scrolling. These appear and disappear all the time which makes the scrolling a bit restless. The problem disappears after tapping one item by the way, so it is a minor issue.

App description

The BPMN Quick Reference Guide app does exactly what you expect it to do. It is an ideal reference guide for BPMN pofessionals.

Business Process Modelling Notation or BPMN 2.0 can sometimes be quite complicated and difficult to understand. The link below refers to a short presentation, 17 sheets, in which the essential ideas of BPMN are explained.

The presentation is not made by Intermedio, but is considered valuable enough to share here.
