What is BPMN Sketch Miner?
BPMN Sketch Miner is an open-source desktop application designed specifically for business analysts to quickly create Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) diagrams. It allows users to sketch out process flows using natural drawing gestures and handwriting recognition, which are then converted automatically into standard BPMN 2.0 XML.
Some key features of BPMN Sketch Miner include:
- Intuitive sketching interface to draw BPMN shapes like activities, gateways, events, pools, lanes etc. using touch or mouse.
- Automatic recognition and conversion of handwritten text into typed text.
- Real-time validation of diagram syntax as per BPMN standards.
- Drag and drop, undo/redo and basic editing capabilities for shapes and connectors.
- Single click export to BPMN 2.0 XML format for portability.
- Designed for business analysts to create models without needing to know BPMN notation.
- Standalone desktop application with no licensing fees.
- Available on Windows, Mac and Linux.
As an open-source tool, BPMN Sketch Miner allows business analysts to quickly model business processes by focusing on the process logic rather than notation. The resulting BPMN diagrams can then be exported for further analysis or implementation in a process automation tool.
