My biggest takeaway was learning how to look at a business process first and then figure out how to represent it in BPMN, instead of just turning every step into a box. I also got a better understanding of when to use gateways, subprocesses, documents, and data stores.

Learning how to go from zero (knowing nothing about BPMN) to knowing and understanding it and how to use Camunda to model these things. So powerful!

Start with the happy path and add in the exceptions and loops later. The exercise at the end on how to apply BPMN in our operations (how we would use it in practice) was extremely valuable and will set us on a path to incorporate BPMN into our ops.
