I like the idea the authors had about a micro guide, sometimes these topics can be daunting and offering a book that can be read in a day to get up to speed is a great idea. There are some possible improvements and not necessarily criticisms, the flow of the book could use some improvement, In some chapters a topic is introduced at the beginning but then the authors go off on a tangent though relevant I found myself going back and rereading the start of the chapter thinking I had missed something only to find that topic discussed towards the end. I think the best improvement they could have made was to use consistent real life modeling examples, early in the book the authors suggest they will explore some common archetypes and then list them with participants and sub processes but then use examples like making a PBJ sandwich instead of using any of the processes they mentioned. The authors also introduce what they call the Process Modeling framework which makes sense and is a common approach sadly they describe the PMF sequence but never delve into an example that shows a process being modeled from start to finish, though I followed I think a example would have really helped.
Overall I recommend the book and hopefully the authors will update it, certainly I would consider it as a standard book for our analysts but will wait to see if any of the above get addressed.

With over fifty implementations, Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is an increasingly successful Object Management Group (OMG) standard. Whether you are in government, manufacturing, or business, you can easily and accurately depict your company's processes in BPMN. BPMN Specification 1.1, however, can be abstract, lengthy, and complicated. As a result, learning to use BPMN can be daunting and force professionals to steer clear of it without an efficient and easy way of getting acquainted with the material. The straightforward information that is packed into this book is exactly what is needed. This guide gathers all the ideas, design, and problem-solving of BPMN into one simple, focused book, and offers concrete true-life examples that explain BPMN's approach to process modeling.
