BPM Process Modeling Fundamentals
This course presents an actionable framework for applying process modeling
methods and techniques, whether internally or as part of a consulting practice,
it is focused foremost on the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) approach
(although it also includes introductions on other techniques that help people
step outside the box and see things differently).
Business Process Modeling Notation
– The BPMN segment was developed in
conjunction with the lead author on
the BPMN specification, who
continues to lead the ongoing
development within the OMG.
BPMN is a highly rigorous
flow-diagramming notation and is
rapidly being adopted by wider
industry as a standard approach for
modeling business processes and
procedures. It is the predominant
modeling notation used by BPM Suite
vendors.
Presenting an A-to-Z agenda on process modeling, the course was developed by
leading experts Derek Miers and Stephen White
of IBM (the main author of the BPMN specification). Whether novice or
experienced, participants will receive an expert-level understanding of process
modeling methods and strategies.
This course delivers an intimate knowledge of process modeling using the BPMN
standard, enabling practitioners to handle the complexity associated with “real
world” business scenarios, helping them to understand when to apply the correct
modeling style for each unique environment or application.
As part of the course preparation, all participants will receive a detailed BPMN
Modeling Guidebook, presenting the core materials of a forthcoming book by Miers
and White. Previous participants have found this reference material invaluable
to their on-going application of lessons learned.
Each section of the course includes detailed examples,
animations to demonstrate behavior, both individual and
group exercises, and how to avoid the most common errors.
This is a practical course where delegates start modeling within the first hour,
going on to complete many exercises and examples before finishing the course.
The course facilitator will also provide one-to-one feedback on up to two models
completed by a delegate in the month following completion (helping them apply
the lessons learnt).
Delegates will learn not only the technical aspects of these techniques, but
also the methodology they should follow in using them.
Delegates should have read "The
BPMN Modeling and Reference Guide" before coming on the course.

Visio Stencil for BPMN 1.1 (supplied as is, no
warranties, etc ... this will likely change and develop as we get time to
work on the Stencil). Right now it supports all the BPMN elements (use the
Properties field to change the behavior of the shape). Enjoy !!
