Upvote ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notifications on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas that cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Hi Suzette,
Thanks for the comment and your opinion. The enabling of tasks to be reused definitely will make things easier and will help us to reduce redundancy which is always handled through workaround.
But as BWL is such a good & leading process modeling tool, I am a bit surprised as to how this has never been a priority. All tools in process modeling ARIS, SIGNAVIO, BIZZDESIGN, APPIAN, SPARX etc have this functionality out of the box. Now a days process modeling is more enhanced to integrate with other architecture elements like capabilities etc and hence this should be an immediate concern for the BWL team rather than a long term consideration.
My two cents- Thanks
Regards,
Kaushik
Thanks for your request!
We have longer-term plans to allow task reuse across blueprints. Task reuse is a feature that appears in the BPMN2 standard, and Blueworks Live aligns with the standard wherever it makes sense.
The BPMN2 standard does not cover reuse of events or gateways. As such, we have no plans to enable reuse of events or gateways. But we will monitor and would be happy to revisit that decision if there's sufficient interest across the Blueworks Live customer base.
Thanks again!
The Blueworks Live team
