2. Strategies for implementing BPM
3. Process modeling, analysis, and design
4. Governance and business strategy alignment
5. Process modeling using BPMN
6. Business rules management

Target Audience:

Managers involved in BPM-related decision-making, Business Consultants, Business Analysts, Business Process Engineers, System Analysts, and all professionals engaged in the analysis and planning of Business Processes.

This course is designed for professionals tasked with creating process models in BPMN 2.0.

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

Structured as a series of concise lectures followed by hands-on exercises, participants will receive problem descriptions in English and must construct appropriate diagrams for each scenario. These diagrams will then be reviewed and evaluated by both peers and the instructor.

The course aims to deepen understanding of BPMN diagrams while also introducing fundamental aspects of BPMN execution.

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

It emphasizes the practical dimensions of the BPMN 2.0 specification, including the implementation of common patterns.

The program consists of concise lectures followed by hands-on exercises: participants will be presented with problems described in English and must create appropriate diagrams for each scenario. These diagrams are then reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the instructor.

This course does not address the execution aspects of BPMN; instead, it concentrates on the analysis and process design elements of BPMN 2.0.

Target Audience:

Individuals with an interest in process modeling will find this business process modeling notation training course beneficial, particularly:

• Business and Process Analysts
• Process Designers and Implementers
• Project and Programme Managers
• Professionals engaged in business change and transformation.

This course is designed to impart practical knowledge and develop intermediate to advanced BPMN modeling skills.

The ideal candidate is a business analyst—someone who discovers, identifies, gathers, and analyzes user requirements for systems. It is also suitable for advanced computer application developers and system architects who wish to explore creating business processes, systems, and custom drivers.

The course does not cover executable BPMN levels.

Training is primarily conducted through a dominant computer-based approach (~90%). Participants will translate real-world business scenarios into Business Process Diagrams (BPD) and learn to interpret diagrams to assess their practical utility.

This is an intensely practical course in the strictest sense; no theoretical considerations of BPMN are addressed during training.

This course is designed for individuals seeking to leverage BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects. It emphasizes the practical application of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, including the implementation of common patterns.

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

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Abundant exercises and hands-on practice using Camunda Modeler.
• Practical implementation within a live-lab environment.

Audience

This course equips participants with the skills to implement business processes using BPMN. It addresses the graphical notation along with the frequently utilized attributes of BPMN 2 elements.

Technology

The course is platform-agnostic, focusing exclusively on the elements and attributes defined in the OMG specification. While jBPM is used by default, any tool that supports BPMN 2.0 can be utilized.

Class format

Participants will review example use cases followed by practical exercises, enabling them to implement their own processes.

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 designed for process, decision, and case modeling. This course offers a comprehensive introduction to each standard, guiding learners on when to apply the most appropriate one.

This instructor-led, live training in Taiwan (online or onsite) targets project managers at all levels who aim to acquire Green Belt certification knowledge in BPMN. The objective is to streamline project workflows, enhance process efficiency, and ensure adherence to 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 program is designed to empower business analysts with the skills to efficiently model their business processes and the associated resources using BPMN. Guided by an agile enterprise framework, participants will learn to apply appropriate BPMN notations and UML business extensions to address "business requirements" and effectively manage underlying design-level activities.

ProcessMaker is an open-source Business Process Management (BPM) software application. Built as a lightweight, fully web-based tool using PHP, it serves as a cost-effective alternative to expensive enterprise-grade solutions.

This course guides you through implementing process management using ProcessMaker, emphasizing key skills such as creating process definitions, configuring roles, groups, and users, and initiating processes from external applications.

Process mining, also known as Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a methodology that employs algorithms to analyze event logs, thereby facilitating the examination of business processes. This approach transcends mere data storage and analysis by linking data with operational processes, offering valuable insights into the trends and patterns that influence efficiency.

Course Format

• The course begins with an overview of the most prevalent process mining techniques. We will explore various algorithms and tools utilized for discovering and modeling processes from raw event data. Additionally, we will examine real-world case studies and analyze datasets using the ProM open-source framework.
