Using BPMN

As an architect I often have to sketch the processes to see how everything goes together. Over the last year I been increasingly using BPMN to do this, either on paper or with Visio. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much out there in the way of books which explain how BPMN should be used . Instead, I use a couple of tutorials written by Stephen White from IBM. Those with patience can use the textual version, for the impatient the slide show is the best.

As to sketching processes in Visio a number of stencils (with various levels of completeness and features) are available on the bpmn.org site.
