Understanding the Digital Revolution Lab - Process Modelling
Overview - In this lab, you will use a diagramming tool to create process models.
Task Details -
Preliminaries - draw.io
Draw.io is an online diagramming tool. It's relatively easy to use (with some quirks), and has built-in support for BPMN diagrams. You may use Visio or an alternative tool if you prefer.
You can connect draw.io to a cloud provider to store your work. Your University email account should allow you to save using OneDrive; alternatively, you can choose any of the other options if you have an account. Beware that using Device will store your work only on the computer you're using.
Task One - Basic BPMN
The draw.io interface looks as follows:
The centre area is your canvas, this is where you will construct your diagrams.
Try drawing some shapes from the General section. With a shape selected, change the fill and outline (stroke) colours.
Use the delete key on your keyboard to delete elements once you've added them.
Using only BPMN symbols, replicate the following diagrams.
You can create a new diagram for each, or create multiple models in a single diagram
Task two - Modelling
Consider the following process description (in English):
Morgan wants to sign up for an account on Doggobook, the world's third-best social network for dog enthusiasts. She enters her email address and a password into the sign-up form.
If her password is not long or complex enough, the Doggobook website asks her to try again with a new password.
Once Morgan has created a strong-enough password, she is granted access to the site. Doggobook sends her an email confirming that she's created an account.
We would like to create a model of this process to visualize the steps. It is up to you to determine an appropriate level of abstraction, but you should end up with at least two resources and at least three activities.
Task 2.a - Process boundaries
What are the process boundaries? What event triggers the process and what are the possible outcomes?
Task 2.b - Resources
What are the resources, or actors, in the process? Where are the handovers of control? Hint: they will usually be on submission of a web form or display of a web page in a system such as this one
Task 2.c - Activities
Identify the various activities that are involved in the process. Hint: try to think of activities as verb noun pairs.
Task 2.d - Diagramming
Create a BPMN swimlane diagram to model this process, using draw.io. Your model should include at least one branch and one merge - likely for repetition.
Task 2.e - Exporting / saving your work
From draw.io, choose File / Export As... and choose PNG, to save your Doggobook signup process model as an image. The default export options should be fine for this lab. When prompted where to save your PNG file, choose Download and save the generated file into your documents.
