The swim-lane layout draws attention to the interactions among components of the diagram, making it easier to understand the relationships between the different roles and activities involved in the process. It does not necessarily complicate the process diagrams (A), and each role has its own swim-lane, rather than having to share it with other roles (C). Additionally, not all activities for a given role are repeated in all swim-lanes (D), and while it may indirectly model knowledge flows, that is not the main focus of this layout (E).
