2. BPM Implementation Strategies
3. Process modeling, analysis, and design
4. Governance and business strategies
5. Modeling a process with BPMN
6. Business rules

Audience:

This course is designed for managers seeking to inform their BPM decisions, Business Consultants, Business Analysts, Business Process Engineers, System Analysts, and anyone involved in the analysis and planning of business processes.

This course is designed for professionals tasked with modelling processes using BPMN 2.0.

The curriculum emphasizes practical applications of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, alongside the implementation of common patterns.

It consists of concise lectures paired with hands-on exercises: participants will receive problem descriptions in English and must create appropriate diagrams for each scenario. Subsequently, these diagrams will be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the instructor.

The course aims to deepen understanding of BPMN diagrams while also covering foundational aspects of BPMN execution.

This course is designed for business analysts who aim to apply BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects.

It concentrates on the practical aspects of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, along with implementations of common patterns.

The format consists of short lectures followed by exercises: delegates will receive a problem description in English and must create an appropriate diagram for each scenario. Subsequently, the diagrams will be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the trainer.

This course does not cover the execution side of BPMN; instead, it focuses on the analysis and process design aspects of BPMN 2.0.

Audience:

Delegates with an interest in Process Modelling will find this business process modeling notation training course beneficial. It is particularly suited for:

• Business and Process Analysts
• Process Designers and Implementers
• Project and Programme Managers
• Anyone involved with business change and transformation.

This course focuses on imparting practical knowledge and developing Intermediate to Advanced BPMN modeling skills.

The ideal participant is a business analyst engaged in discovering, identifying, gathering, and analyzing system user requirements. It is also suited for advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in creating business processes, systems, and custom drivers.

Course content does not cover Executable BPMN levels.

Training is conducted predominantly through computer-based techniques (~90%). This approach allows participants to translate real-world business situations into Business Process Diagrams (BPD) while simultaneously learning to interpret diagrams and assess their practical utility.

This is a highly intensive, practical course. Theoretical considerations of BPMN are not addressed.

This course is designed for professionals aiming to leverage BPMN 2.0 extensively within their projects. It emphasizes the practical application of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, alongside the implementation of common patterns.

While this course does not address the execution of BPMN, it concentrates on the analysis and process design dimensions of BPMN 2.0.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions using Camunda Modeler.
• Hands-on implementation within a live laboratory environment.

Target Audience

This course equips participants with the skills to implement business processes using BPMN. It encompasses both the graphical representation and the most frequently utilized attributes of BPMN 2 elements.

Technical Approach

The course is platform-agnostic, focusing exclusively on elements and attributes defined by the OMG specification. While jBPM is utilized by default, participants may employ any alternative tool provided it supports BPMN 2.0.

Class Structure

Participants will engage with example use cases followed by practical exercises, enabling them to successfully execute their own processes.

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN), and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) represent three Object Management Group (OMG) standards designed for process modeling, decision management, and case handling. This course offers an overview of all three frameworks and clarifies the appropriate contexts for applying each one.

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (online or onsite) is aimed at project managers of all levels who wish to gain Green Belt certification knowledge in BPMN to streamline project workflows, improve process efficiency, and ensure compliance with business standards.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the core concepts and components of BPMN 2.0.
• Create and interpret BPMN diagrams to represent business processes.
• Optimize workflows using best practices in BPMN modeling.
• Identify and eliminate inefficiencies in business processes.
• Integrate BPMN into project management and process improvement initiatives.

Objective:

This training course is designed to assist business analysts in effectively modeling their business processes and the resources managed by those activities. Within the framework of an agile enterprise, participants will learn to apply appropriate BPMN notations and UML business extensions to address business requirements and systematically guide design-level activities.

ProcessMaker is an open-source Business Process Management (BPM) software application. This lightweight, fully web-based tool, developed in PHP, offers capabilities that rival costly enterprise-grade solutions.

This course demonstrates how to implement process management using ProcessMaker, focusing on creating process definitions, establishing roles, groups, and users, and initiating processes from external applications.

Process mining, also known as Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a methodology that leverages algorithms on event logs to analyze business processes. This approach extends beyond mere data storage and analysis; it connects data with operational processes, offering valuable insights into the trends and patterns that influence process efficiency.

Course Format

• The course begins with an overview of the most widely used process mining techniques. We explore various process discovery algorithms and tools designed to model processes from raw event data. Real-world case studies are reviewed, and datasets are analyzed using the ProM open-source framework.
