Dear Wane,

To enable more than 1 activity in a parallel manner, you may use the parallel gateway right before your B and C activities.

View more information about the parallel gateway in Bizagi Process Modeler's BPMN elements palette.

Hi Daisuke, thanks so much for your support!

How do we model a parallel process for various cross functional teams (not just two) and using different lanes within the same pool?

Please take a look at the task Review with Stakeholders. How do I diverge and converge. Also, where do I find the parallel gateway? I don't seem to find it on my palette. thanks!

Dear Pablo,

Regarding your question, you can use the same parallel gateway to diverge and converge:

hmfile_hash_566bbb99

  • As Divergence: is used to create alternative paths without checking any conditions.
  • As Convergence: is used to merge alternative paths, the gateways waits for all incoming flows before it continues.

How can I get this gateway?

Regarding the another question, How do we model a parallel process for various cross functional teams (not just two) and using different lanes within the same pool?

You can add as many tasks as you need. For example:
