Do you also struggle with models created by your colleagues with less than perfect BPMN knowledge and BPM experience?

If you liked the approach I proposed in the post “How to make sure your process models are useful” and the PDF checklist you may like one of the new features available in ADONIS:cloud (disclosure – this is a commercial SaaS BPM tool offered by my company).
