Action Diagram
The diagram may be used as a tool to close the gap between business and IT. Invite customers to participate in the process of designing business rules.
Presenting action diagrams to new or existing customers will provide better insight in the capabilities of Action orchestration. Business rules are more easily human readable, and your customers may validate their business rules in the blink of an eye.
The diagram is just another way to present the logic of an action.
Graphical Notation
The graphical notation is influenced by the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). BPMN is a standardized graphical notation for drawing business processes in a workflow.
