# Create a Process

## What is a Process?

Making Process design easy and efficient for any type of process is one of ProcessMaker Platform's core tenets. Let's first understand what a Process is and how it serves you and your business:

- A Process is a set of steps and decisions to complete a particular goal, often as efficiently as possible.
- A Process may involve people or be completely automated through scripting.
- A Process can integrate with external third-party systems and legacy applications to extend their functionality.
- Any Process designed in ProcessMaker is [BPMN 2.0 compliant](https://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/2.0/About-BPMN/).

ProcessMaker provides several options for creating a new process. Users can opt to start from a blank canvas, leverage pre-designed templates, or utilize AI technology to generate a process model from a description or an image. Click on a link below to learn more.
