Yesterday, I battled Camunda’s own, Senior Developer Advocate @Niall. Given three fun and interesting prompts, we designed BPMN models to solve each prompt. (Want to know who won? Check out the video here!) Camunda Developer Advocate @nathan.loding came up with some AMAZING prompts!
Now, it’s your turn! How would you model these prompts? What creative solutions can you come up with? Share your solutions below!

Model a process for getting kids to school on time in the morning, including breakfast and packing a lunch, and accounting for the kids not always listening or cooperating.
