Answer

In Business Process Management Notation (BPMN), actors are the participants or entities that perform tasks within a process. They are represented by pools and lanes.

  • A Pool represents a major participant in a process, such as a company or a customer. It can contain one or more lanes.

  • Lanes are subdivisions within a pool, used to organize and categorize activities performed by a specific role, department, or system. For example, within a "Company" pool, you might have lanes for "Sales Department," "Customer Service," and "Warehouse."

These elements help visualize who is responsible for executing specific activities in a business process.
