Which gateway can you use to assign several types of tasks in parallel while defining which paths execute?

The gateway that allows you to assign several types of tasks in parallel while defining which paths execute is the OR gateway. This type of gateway enables the process to continue along multiple paths simultaneously.

When using the OR gateway, you can create conditions for each outgoing path, allowing certain tasks to proceed based on specified criteria. This flexibility makes it ideal for scenarios where different paths might need to be executed based on varying inputs or decisions, leading to a more dynamic flow of execution within a process.

The AND gateway, while it does allow for parallel processing, does not permit condition-based execution—meaning all outgoing paths must be followed simultaneously without the ability to selectively execute based on conditions. Complex and XOR gateways serve different purposes; for instance, XOR is typically used for exclusive paths, where only one path can be selected based on a condition. Thus, for the requirement of assigning multiple tasks in parallel with defined execution paths, the OR gateway stands out as the most appropriate choice.
