Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN) and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) are three Object Management Group (OMG) standards for processes, decisions, and case modelling. This course provides an introduction to all of them and informs when should we use which.

Objective:

This training course aims at helping business analysts to learn to model efficiently their business processes using BPMN as well as resources that are handled by their activities. Being conducted by an agile enterprise framework, business analysts learn during this course how to use appropriate BPMN notations and business extensions of UML in order to deal with their "business requirements" and coherently drive underlying design level activities.

Bonita BPM is an open-source business process management and workflow suite made up of three major components: Bonita Studio, Bonita BPM Engine and Bonita Portal. Bonita is often used in projects that require complex workflows such as Supply Chain Management, e-Government, Human Resources, and Contract management.

Format of the Course

• Emphasis is on hands-on practice.
• Concepts will be taught through samples, exercises and hands-on development.

ProcessMaker is an Open Source BPM software application. It is a light weight, fully web based tool written in PHP, which can compete with expensive enterprise solutions.

This course presents you with how to implement process management using ProcessMaker, focusing on how to create a process definition, define roles, groups and users, and start a process from an external application.

Audience

This course prepares participants to execute business processes with BPMN. It covers graphical representation as well as commonly used attributes of the BPMN 2 elements.

Technology

This course is not platform specific, only elements and attributes covered by OMG specification are covered. By default, it uses jBPM, but any other tool can be used as long as the tool supports BPMN 2.0.

Class format

Participants will follow an example use cases followed by hands-on exercises, so they can execute their process.

Process mining, or Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a technique that applies algorithms to event logs for the purpose of analyzing business processes. Process mining goes beyond data storage and data analysis; it bridges data with processes and provides insights into the trends and patterns that affect process efficiency. 

Format of the Course

• The course starts with an overview of the most commonly used techniques for process mining. We discuss the various process discovery algorithms and tools used for discovering and modeling processes based on raw event data. Real-life case studies are examined and data sets are analyzed using the ProM open-source framework.

Course Audience:

Managers who want to understand BPMN diagrams, Business Consultants, Business Analysts, Business Process Engineers, System Analysts and anyone who is involved in analyzing and planning Business Processes using standardized, unified modelling notation.

Course Goals:

• Produce high-quality process diagrams
• Model in the BPMN process notation
• Capture as-is process information
• Implement optimized process flows for people-intensive processes
• Simplify complex process definitions and break them into more manageable pieces

The course aims at teaching the practical knowledge and learning BPMN modeling skills at the Intermediate and Advanced levels.

The ideal participant is a business analyst training, meaning the person discovering, identifying, gathering and analyzing user requirements to the system. - The advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in the prospect of creating business processes, system and custom drivers.

The course does not address issues Executable BPMN level.

Training is conducted in much the dominant technique in the form of a computer (~ 90%), during which the one hand, we translate real business situations for BPD, on the other hand ready to interpret diagrams assessing their practical utility.

The course is very intensive practical course in the strict sense, the training did not deal with in any way, theoretical considerations of BPMN.

The course aims at teaching the practical knowledge of BPMN modeling and learning basic skills.

The ideal student is a person who analyzes and documents the processes as a model, which is a business user IT system or business analyst collaborating with business people within a certain organizational function.

The training is conducted by a moderated discussion (40%) and computer workshop (60%). Part of the laboratory is to translate business situations described BPMN diagram

The course is a very intensive practical course in the strict sense, the training does not deal with in any way, the theoretical considerations of BPMN.

Although SOA is not specific to BPM software, there are a number of natural synergies between BPM and SOA. Perhaps most obvious of these is the separation of business process management as an independent function, allowing processes to be designed independently of any single application and leveraged as shared business logic.
