description: "Create visual process models to better understand, discuss, and remember processes so models are easy to read and understand."

We create visual process models to better understand, discuss, and remember processes. Hence, it is crucial that models are easy to read and understand. The single most important thing is to to use well-chosen labels.

**Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)** was developed as a graphical notation to represent complex processes. It is maintained by the non-profit [The Object Management Group (OMG)](https://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/) and employed by numerous organizations globally. The visual nature of BPMN enables greater collaboration between different teams, particularly within Modeler.

BPMN diagrams must be created for the process engine they intend to be deployed on. You cannot run a BPMN diagram modeled for Camunda 7 in Camunda 8, or vice versa, at this time.

- Add BPMN elements from the palette on the left side of the page by dragging and dropping them onto the diagram canvas.
- Change the type of element in place by clicking on an element to reveal the context menu. Then, click the wrench icon to change the type of element to a [service task](./service-tasks/service-tasks.md) or [user task](./user-tasks/user-tasks.md), for example.

## Demo
## Creating BPMN elements

![Demo](./assets/demo.gif)
Using BPMN in Modeler, you can create more BPMN 2.0 elements like task types and event definitions.

The demo above shows how to create more BPMN 2.0 elements like lanes, task types, and event definitions.
For example, [service tasks](/components/modeler/bpmn/service-tasks/service-tasks.md) within Camunda 8 require you to set a task type and implement [job workers](/components/concepts/job-workers.md) to perform a particular task in a process.

## BPMN 2.0 coverage
Review [the BPMN 2.0 coverage documentation](docs/components/modeler/bpmn/bpmn-coverage.md) for a complete list of BPMN elements supported by our modeling tools.

The Modeler [covers all BPMN 2.0 elements](/components/modeler/bpmn/bpmn-coverage.md) for modeling processes and collaborations.
Additionally, visit [creating readable process models](/docs/components/best-practices/modeling/creating-readable-process-models.md) for general guidelines on modeling with BPMN.
