Understanding Business Event Diagrams

Business event diagrams , also called business process diagrams, describe the relationship between events and processes. Events such as the arrival of a sales order or a fiscal quarter end trigger work and require actions within the enterprise, acting as process triggers that generate business responses.

The diagram provides an overview of processes, trigger events, sent/received products, participating roles or organizational units, and shows that at a macro level processes need not be sequential, even though the output of one process can be reused by another.
