In the diagram that you created, the three tasks in the
three lanes depend on each other, but are not necessarily sequential.
You can improve the clarity of the diagram by using gateways to represent
concurrent tasks. You can specify that all roles begin at the same
time, and that all roles must be completed to finish the process.
In addition, you can specify that the Send Shipping Schedule task
must wait for the processing of the schedule to begin.

- In the Palette, click Parallel
Gateway.
- In the diagram editor, click to the left of the Request
shipping task. You can now connect the gateway
to each of the first tasks in each lane.
- In the Palette, click Connector.

to the Request shipping task.
