 Once you learn what the symbols mean, these are very easy to create. Check out the following examples...
+<WRAP center round info 80%>
+All of the following examples are "Orchestration" process charts (which can include “Swim Lanes” – a concept still not included in the antiquated ISO 5807). BPMN also allows for: \\
+  * "Collaboration" process charts... which depict the interaction between different "pools" (not included in ISO 5807), and
+  * "Choreography" process charts... which depict the way that participants coordinate their interaction (also not included in ISO 5807).
+I don't use "Choreography" process charts because they are only beneficial in very specific situations. You can read more about these differences [[https://www.visual-paradigm.com/guide/bpmn/bpmn-orchestration-vs-choreography-vs-collaboration/|here]].

 The BPMN diagrams shown below depict the generic ISO 9001:2015 requirements for 8.7 "Control of Nonconforming Outputs" & 10.2 "Nonconformity and Corrective Action".
-I created these diagrams using the free (open source) “Camunda Modeler” diagraming software, which is available from: [[https://camunda.com/download/modeler/]]. While there is no "standard" color for the symbols, Green is typically used to start a process, Red indicates the end of a process, and Blue calls attention to intermediate events.
