Patterns in workflow

How are patterns important? They make your life easy. They let you understand an seemingly complex problem. Patterns when it comes to workflows are really important to understand business transactions can be modelled and represented. They help you unblock you thoughts.

Here is something i came across long ago... when i was trying to understand how to use BPMN to represent flows. The old site has redesigned itself in to http://www.workflowpatterns.com/.

It is nice to have a look at these and keep them in mind..

I suggest one should start from control flow prespective.

Why i like this site is the way they let u understand using flash animation..

Oddly enough, I like the old site and here is the link for it.
