			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 <a title="BPMN.org" href="http://www.bpmn.org/" target="_blank">Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)</a> is such notation and standardized by <a title="OMG.org" href="http://www.omg.org/" target="_blank">OMG</a>.</p>
<p>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 <a title="BPMN Visio Stencils" href="http://bpt.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/Public/BPMNCorner#Tooling">Visio Stencils</a> or start modeling your processes via Powerpoint. How knows maybe your boss likes the first drafts and introduces a cool BPMN tool afterwards.</p>
<p>For Powerpoint I created a template that contains the most useful BPMN elements. Following you will find the templates:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.acidum.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bpmn.pptx">BPMN v.1.2 Powerpoint Template (PPTX)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.acidum.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bpmn.ppt">BPMN v.1.2 Powerpoint Template (PPT)</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Further information about BPMN is available at:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="BPMN community" href="http://www.bpmn-community.org/" target="_blank">http://www.bpmn-community.org/</a></li>
<li><a title="BPMN Visio stencil, BPMN Poster" href="http://bpt.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/Public/BPMNCorner" target="_blank">Viso Stencils, BPMN Poster and BPMN book</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Any feedback is welcome&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: 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.</p>
