Free BPMN Stencils for Visio 2003 and Visio 2002
In support of our series of BPMN Tutorial posts, we’ve created a series of Visio 2003 stencils (*.vss) and a template (BPMN_Template.vst) of BPMN symbols. Anthony Britton has created a Visio 2002 version of the free stencils – thanks Anthony!

BPMN
We wrote an introduction to BPMN as a process diagramming approach on July 18th. We followed that with a series of 24 articles providing an introduction to diagramming with BPMN. We created stencils to support our BPMN diagram creation, and a template, to make it easy to create diagrams in Visio 2003. With Anthony’s contribution, you can also use these stencils with Visio 2002.

The 1.0 version of the stencils includes the following elements:

I just found another resource for Visio templates (http://www.workflow-research.de/Downloads/BPMN/), but your template is not listed yet.

Thank you so much for developing these stencils and making them available to the public. I am using Visio 2000, and every BPMN stencil that I had found before now was incompatible. Your Visio 2002 stencils work perfectly!

Thanks Jamie, and you’re very welcome! I hope you find more stuff you like here. There is a series of articles on BPMN that might be of use too – just check the “categories” on the left, or go directly to http://tynerblain.com/blog/category/business-analysis/business-process-modeling/

I haven’t created one that is unique to Visio 2007 – but the Visio 2003 stencil will work in Visio 2007.
Do you have any suggestions of special capabilities that 2007 uniquely has, that would be valuable to add to the existing stencil?

Scott, thanks for publishing these stencils. I am working on my first BPMN flows in Visio 2003 and am very happy to have found your stencils.
