# Aris vs Maestro: model or execute?

Aris excels at modelling and analysing processes. Maestro makes them executable: a readable flowchart, a clear RACI, role-based training. A fair comparison — and a complementary fit.

## Model, or execute?

Aris is a well-established tool for **process modelling** (BPMN), process mining and enterprise architecture: for analysing, governing and optimising complex processes, it is powerful. Maestro does not compete on that ground.

Maestro answers a different need: making the process **readable and executable** — a clear flowchart, a RACI, and the training that goes with it. Where Aris produces a model, Maestro produces execution.

## Aris vs Maestro

| Criterion | Aris | Maestro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Category | Process modelling (BPMN) & architecture | Executable description + RACI + training |
| Purpose | The model, the analysis, the governance | On-the-job execution |
| Readability on the floor | Low — expert notation | Flowchart read in 2 minutes |
| Responsibilities | Partial | Systematic RACI |
| Associated training | No | Yes — learning paths + content |
| Creating procedures / training | No | Yes — even from scratch |
| Role | Process analysis tool | Making the process executable |

Indicative comparison, based on the respective positioning of the two tools.

## Aris or Maestro? Two purposes.

Keep Aris for fine-grained analysis and the governance of complex processes. Use Maestro for the **executable** version: a flowchart read in two minutes, a clear RACI, role-based training. Maestro describes the process because it is useful, never as an end in itself.

## Your questions

### Is Maestro a competitor to Aris?

Not really: Aris models and analyses processes; Maestro makes them executable (flowchart, RACI, training). The two complement each other.

### What is the difference in purpose?

Aris aims at the model and the analysis; Maestro aims at on-the-job execution and training.

### Can I keep Aris and add Maestro?

Yes: Aris for the analysis, Maestro for the readable version, the RACI and the training.

### Why prefer a flowchart over BPMN?

Maestro's flowchart + RACI can be read and executed by everyone; BPMN remains a language for experts.
