I’ve been exploring how to visually compare BPMN and state machine approaches for business processes. It’s clear that both models have their strengths, but I’d love to hear from those who have experience in using visual tools for this purpose. Specifically, how do you weigh the trade-offs between these two patterns in terms of complexity, flexibility, and ease of understanding for non-technical stakeholders?
For visualization, I find that using a no-code/low-code builder can be very helpful. It allows you to drag-and-drop components, which makes it easier for non-technical stakeholders to understand both BPMN and state machine workflows.
I agree that visualization is key. Using tools that allow side-by-side comparison can help highlight the differences and make it clearer which model is better suited to your specific needs.
visual builders are great. makes it easy for non-tech people to see differences
