Description

It is important to be consistent in defining process owners (usually an organization) and other roles in your diagrams. Using Pools facilitates this.

If you want to represent responsibilities in a process, the correct usage of Pools and Lanes is important. To comply with this rule, all modeled elements must be contained within a Pool.

If this error is displayed, check if all modeled elements are contained within a Pool. This is necessary so that every element has a responsibility value assigned.
