The KIE Workbench provides a wide variety of functionalities, from process definition to process execution and any other functionality you can find useful related to the BPM discipline. It also allows a very simple way to extend itself, in order to add even more functionality to it. There is so much to show for it that we had to skip the least relevant topics. Still, we hope you learned how to use and configure the KIE Workbench to get the most out of it.

We went out of topic from jBPM6 a bit, but the added value these applications and their extension points provide to the BPM discipline is so large that I hope you find the detour worth your while.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to write our own business processes using the KIE Workbench process designer.
