Does an AND gateway execute all outgoing flows simultaneously?

An AND gateway does not execute all outgoing flows simultaneously; rather, it only allows the process to proceed down all outgoing paths when all of the conditions leading to those paths are met. This means that for each outgoing flow from the AND gateway, the conditions associated with each flow must evaluate to true before that specific flow can be activated.

In this context, the correct understanding is that the AND gateway acts as a decision point that requires the fulfillment of all specified conditions to allow the process to continue along all of its outgoing flows. This ensures that only when all requirements are satisfied does the process move forward, thus enabling a more controlled and conditional progression within the workflow.

Given this understanding, the assertion that the AND gateway executes all outgoing flows simultaneously is not accurate. Instead, it is crucial to recognize that it is contingent upon fulfilling the conditions set for those paths, making the related responses regarding simultaneous execution misleading.
