When to use it
Use for the states a thing moves through and the events that move it, such as an order lifecycle, a ticket status, a subscription, or a device mode, including transitions back to an earlier state. Not for steps with decisions (use a flowchart), software components calling each other, a request's path, or a hierarchy.
