Foundation Path

This path is for business analysts, process designers, and modelers who want to document and standardize how work happens. Whether you are a designer, a modeler, or an analyst, you’ll go from an empty workspace to a published, professional process model, with AI assistance along the way.

1. Create Your Account

Start by creating your account and completing onboarding. You’ll be up and running in minutes with a free trial.

2. Meet the Process Catalog

The Process Catalog is your home base. It shows every process in your organization (as a tree, cards, or list) with folders, search, and filters. Create a folder for your team and start a new process.

3. Build Your First Model

The wizard offers four starting points:

  • Process Modeling: import an existing BPMN model, generate one with AI, or start from an empty canvas.
  • Process Mining: upload event data and let ProcessMind discover the model for you.
  • Generate Process and Simulate data: explore a sample process with simulated data and ready-made dashboards.
  • Build my process architecture: set up your organization’s process landscape and roles with AI.

If you’re new to BPMN, read What is BPMN 2.0? and learn the BPMN building blocks. Then:

4. Collaborate with Your Team

Process design is a team sport. Use comments and mentions to discuss elements, and share the model so reviewers can contribute before you finalize it.

5. Publish and Export

When your model is ready:

  • Export and share to BPMN or PNG.
  • Publish the process so your organization can view it. Publishing and governance come with the Process Architecture seat: see the Architecture path.

Next Steps

Frequently asked questions

The Foundation path is for process modelers who document and standardize how work is done. You build BPMN models, generate them with AI, and collaborate on them with your team.

Modeling is part of every plan, from the one user on the Process Individual plan to every member on a paid seat: create processes, generate models with AI, edit them in the modeler, and collaborate on them.
