... 14 Guidebooks for Post-Award Contract Administration for Highway Projects Delivered Using Alternative Contracting Methods The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a notation that can be understood by everyone that will perform, manage, and monitor these processes. BPMN creates a standardized bridge for the gap between the business process design and process implementation.

Therefore, each node in Level 1 begins with "Administer." D-B-B, D-B, and CM-GC have three, four, and five main processes, respectively, as shown in Table 4.1.
