Overview of this book

If you are a Java developer or architect who needs to have a better understanding of how Business Process Management frameworks behave in real-life implementations, this book is for you. This book assumes that you know the Java language well and are familiar with some widely used frameworks such as Hibernate. You should also know the basics of relational databases and Maven-based applications.

Technical perspective

Once we understand each scenario, we can start thinking about the technical implications that our models will have. We can start analyzing which technical details we need to add in order to automate our business processes. In this section, we will start analyzing the technical assets that will be generated when we model our business process diagram in a BPMN2 tool that allows us to export the model as an XML file.

Let's start modeling the first version of the sprint management scenario.

Sprint management technical overview

As we have the initial description of our business process, we can go ahead and model it inside our business process designer tool. If we do that in jBPM6 web designer (which will be introduced in Chapter 5, Creating a Process Project in the KIE Workbench) or in any other BPMN2 tool, we will get something like the following diagram:

Sprint management technical overview

This process definition only contains the activities and flow objects as we described them previously. We haven&apos...
