What is swim lane?
when it is used and why?
in IIBA 2.0 is it a new or old concept, do we use swim lane in BPMN OR UML?
THANKS
Hi Esimcity,
UML Activity diagrams have swim lanes which group the activites performed by one actor. BPMN has lanes and pools which have broader uses and meanings. Plus people often talk about swimlanes in relation to UML sequence diagrams but I don't use them as they are too technical for me.
Check out wikipedia and buy some books. Plus Guy Beachamp who is a regular poster on this forum has a good BPMN introductory resource that I found useful.

Hi liddelk,
Thanks for explanation, your answer is apreciated.

A BPD is made up of a set of graphical elements. These elements enable the easy development of simple diagrams that will look familiar to most business analysts (e.g., a flowchart diagram).
The four basic categories of elements are: • Flow Objects • Connecting Objects • Swimlanes • Artifacts
Swimlanes Many process modeling methodologies utilizes the concept of swimlanes as a mechanism to organize activities into separate visual categories in order to illustrate different functional capabilities or responsibilities. BPMN supports swimlanes with two main constructs. The two types of BPD swimlane objects are:
1.Pools
2.Lanes
