====== Don't place more than one expanded pool at one diagram ======
{{tag>process}}
Don't place several expanded processes at one diagram.
===== ✔ How to =====
Diagram 1:

To show bird's eye perspective of several collaborating processes, use "black box" pools only and then expand each pool on a separate diagram:

===== Notes =====
* Just as subprocesses should be placed at separate pages (diagrams), each process should be placed at a separate diagram when modeling collaboration. Communcating processes should be depicted as black boxes.
* If processes are connected by several message and/or data flows, they should be identified by names. Make sure that the same messages have the same labels.
* Although BPMN spec allows dataflows connected to black box pools ([[#how to]], diagram below), not all BPMN modelers support this.
===== Exceptions =====
* It may be handy to depict several expanded processes on a single diagram for training/explanatory purposes but working models should follow the rule "one diagram - one process".
