PowerPoint template for BPMN

Christoph Hartmann on October 27th, 2009

Have you ever faced the challenge to model a company process? Of course you want to be the shining star and use the newest modeling notation. The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is such notation and standardized by OMG.

Additionally you want to start right now. Therefore you are not able to wait until your boss gives the approval for any cool BPMN app out there. For the time being you could start with your existing MS Office installation base. Either you are going to use the Visio Stencils or start modeling your processes via Powerpoint. How knows maybe your boss likes the first drafts and introduces a cool BPMN tool afterwards.

For Powerpoint I created a template that contains the most useful BPMN elements. Following you will find the templates:

Further information about BPMN is available at:

Any feedback is welcome…

Update: Thanks to Oliver, I added a few upgrades. At first of all the first version was missing a message flow and a pool. You will find both implemented in the current version. Additionally, some annoying design issues were solved. So have fun with the update.

    Hallo Christoph,

    vielen Dank für die BPMN-Stencils für Powerpoint!

    Mir fehlen dort Pools, Lanes und Messageflows. Planst du noch was in die Richtung?

    Viele Grüße

    Oliver

    Hey Oliver,

    ich hatte darüber nachgedacht Pools und Lanes einzubinden. Doch da die Kästchen immer verschoben werden müssen, hatte ich es erst einmal herausgelassen. Aber es macht Sinn zumindest die Messageflows noch ergänzen, da diese auf jeden Fall benötigt werden. Werde dies in der nächsten Version aufnehmen. Vielen Dank für die Rückmeldung.

    Beste Grüße
    Christoph

    Hey Andreas,

    ich weiß leider nicht genau, was du meinst. Einfach das pptx in Powerpoint 2007 öffnen und dann kannst mit Copy&Paste schon losgehen.

    Beste Grüße
    Christoph
