• Break down complex process definitions into simpler, more manageable components

This course sits at the intersection of administration and Information Technology, leveraging tools and techniques to design, implement, control, and analyze operational business processes. This typically involves individuals, organizations, and software applications.
The program includes practical assignments; participants will be introduced to topics during theoretical classes, which will be complemented by hands-on exercises.

What will you learn?
1. The fundamentals of BPM
2. Strategies for implementing BPM
3. Process modeling, analysis, and design
4. Governance and business strategies
5. Modeling processes using BPMN
6. Business rules
 

This course has been designed for individuals tasked with modelling processes using BPMN 2.0.

It emphasizes the practical application of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, along with the implementation of common patterns.

The course consists of a series of concise lectures followed by hands-on exercises: participants will be presented with problems described in English and will be required to create appropriate diagrams for each scenario. Subsequently, these diagrams will be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the trainer.

While this course concentrates on understanding BPMN diagrams, it also covers fundamental aspects of BPMN execution.

Audience:

Delegates who are keen on Process Modelling will find this business process modeling notation training course highly beneficial. It is particularly suited for:

• Business and Process Analysts
