Triggering - Order of steps

[Eduardo Sequinel]

Hi,

Is the view below correct?

When I presented a similar view to a technical stakeholder, he said he understood that the two calls are sent at the same time, despite the numbers and description indicating the sequence of steps.

After I explained to him he got it, but still thinks it is a bit misleading. So, the question is:

Is this ok, or should I do something to improve it?

I think I could add two child processes inside "Password reset" and have a triggering between them to clarify it, but this means additional elements, space, and complexity (the real view has much more content).

What do you think is a good balance between accuracy and simplicity for views in this case?

* The view is just illustrative and does not contain any real-world info, actually.

Thank you

You can split your Password reset process in multiple parts. So, have a ‘ChangePassword’ subprocess and a ’SendEmail’ subprocess and have the first one trigger the second. The existing Triggers could then be replaced by flows.

Expanded with the content of the flows:

or

Maybe you can use Junctions in a complex way to model exact order. Frankly, this is hard in BPMN also (requires some complex use of Gateways, I think)

A Trigger in a model only tells you that a Trigger is sent, not when.

If you're worried about application behavior, how about something like this:
