Gateway Xor Unnecessary

Question

I wanted to know if the XOR-gateway used in join mode in this case is needed or not, thanks

The process starts, subsequently based on a condition (not specified in the picture), the "Task 1" activity is performed or no activity is performed. After the process must terminate. process under consideration I tried this solution, but i'm unsure.

Answer 1

Since there is only one token, then I don't see reason why to close flow with additional gateway. In your scenario, I would model process as follows:

• Start event, followed by gateway that evaluates if Task 1 should or should not be executed
• Flow to end event 1 if Task 1 should not be executed
• Flow to Task 1, followed by End event 2
