Data Modeler: the ability to model your data in a web-based, business-user-friendly application, so it can be used in your processes later.

Form builder: a web-based form builder for creating task and process forms that will be shown to the user to show and/or request data.

"No code" tooling: the ability for business users to create, deploy, execute and monitor their processes without having to write any code.

Dynamic processes: the ability to dynamically change running process instances, add tasks on the fly, etc.

The jBPM and mobile: UIs targeted to mobile users to participate in processes (task lists, etc.), monitor running processes, etc.

Case management: The ability to track and execute business logic without up-front process modeling, the case is built and managed on the fly

Process instance migration tool: a tool to migrate running process instances to a newer process definition, including diff management and graphical support

Process analysis and process mining: analyzing processes to detect issues or optimizations, or discover / improve processes based on history information, etc.

Goal-driven BPM: instead of modeling processes as a sequence of steps, focus more on goals and preconditions, where the resulting process can almost be generated based on these.
