The mental approach is convenient for visually demonstrating an idea

It is not constrained by strict frameworks and rules, and does not have any modeling language. In essence, these are just graphic sketches that will help you clearly see the “weak points” and nuances of the solution. Special languages ​​have been created for other types of modeling – IDEF0 , IDEF3, BPMN , UML, ARIS and many others. I am often asked why I do not use domestic developments. The fact is that graphic modeling has practically not developed in Russia. There are two systems - network graph and "dragon".

But, unfortunately, they are not as popular and russia whatsapp number data not as well documented as IDEF0 or BPM. Selecting a modeling language The language of graphic notations is chosen from the point of view of the chosen approach and application features. For example, UML is used for working with databases and algorithmization of computer information systems. The graphic elements of this language mainly reflect objects and control elements for interaction with databases, and therefore this specialized language will be convenient for developers in this field of activity, but it will not be possible to describe the production process with its help.

IDEF3 or BPMN are optimal for describing the sequence of actions when performing some work. For functional modeling, I recommend IDEF0, it was created specifically for the functional approach to business, and therefore here you will find those same "black boxes", but it is extremely difficult to detail processes in this environment, and there is no need for it. That is, it is necessary to choose a modeling language based on the goals set. As for the question of which language is better for the same purposes, I think it mostly depends on personal preference. I personally don't use ARIS or Dragon, I prefer languages ​​of the IDEF0 and BPM family.
