In May 2010, Tom Baeyens and Joram Barrez, the two main developers of jBPM , JBoss ' workflow engine , switched to Alfresco and started the implementation of Activiti. They brought their experience with jBPM with them, but set up Activiti on a new code base without using jBPM source code .

In 2013 , Camunda BPM split off from Activiti software development.
