Pathways Are Like Gateways

A diverging exclusive gateway is used to create alternative paths within a process flow. For a given instance of the process, only one of the paths can be taken. In the context of pathways and gateways, a gateway is a decision point in a process that determines the flow of the process based on certain conditions. Gateways control the flow of process by introducing decision points or parallel paths, allowing multiple outcomes to occur. They are represented by diamond shapes in BPMN diagrams, with different icons indicating their specific behavior.

Common Types of Gateways Include:

Exclusive Gateway: Allows only one path to be taken based on conditions.

Inclusive Gateway: Enables one or more paths to be taken simultaneously based on conditions.

Parallel Gateway: Splits the flow into multiple parallel paths, allowing tasks to occur in parallel.

Understanding these gateways is essential for modeling complex workflows effectively.
