SpiffWorkflow is a workflow engine and BPMN/DMN processor for developers building applications around business processes. It allows a workflow to be defined through a visual process model and executed as part of a larger application.
The software is particularly useful where workflows involve several stages, conditional decisions or activities performed by different participants. Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) describes the structure of a process, while Decision Model and Notation (DMN) provides a separate way to represent decision rules.
SpiffWorkflow is a framework rather than a complete business process management suite. Developers provide the surrounding application and user interface, while the engine handles process execution, task dependencies and workflow state. This separation allows it to be incorporated into different types of business applications.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Parse and execute workflows defined using BPMN diagrams.
- Integrated DMN processing for business decisions.
- Support for pools and lanes representing different workflow participants.
- Multi-instance tasks and reusable sub-workflows.
- Timer events for time-dependent process execution.
- Message and signal events for communication between workflow components.
- Boundary events and looping process structures.
- Track task dependencies, readiness and execution states.
- Construct workflows directly through application code or internal JSON structures.
- Serialize and restore incomplete workflows to resume execution.
- Support for workflow patterns involving branching, joining and conditional execution.
- Minimal external dependencies.
