Course Objectives

Day 1: An introduction to modelling processes using the BPMN notation. This course will form a solid base for those needing to model business processes and will give an understanding of the notation and rules of the BPMN language.

Day 2: The next step in using BPMN. This course shows how process models can be extended into other areas such as an understanding of the people dimension and also into the system domain for

specification and analysis of the IT requirements.

Target Audience

This course is aimed at both business and IT roles involved in analysis and design of solutions. The course is suitable for those who are engaged in any aspect of systems modelling.

Typical roles include: - Business Consultants, Business Analysts, Business Architects, Requirements Engineers, Business Process Engineers, System Analysts and Enterprise Architects

Pre-Requisites

There are no pre-requisites.

Length of Course 2 days

Timings

The course will begin at 09.00 and end at 17.00.

There will be a lunch break and further short breaks in the morning and afternoon.

Course Objectives

The candidate should be able to:

 Master the basics and the necessary detail of the Business Process Modelling Notation(BPMN)

 Map business process flow on Business Process Diagrams (BPDs) using events, activities, gateways, flows, pools and lanes

 Map private, public and collaboration processes

 Structure business process models using collaboration, hierarchy and concurrency

 Map primitive process steps and business rules

 Understand when to use advanced events, activities, gateways, objects and artefacts

 Model business data on class diagrams

 Utilise SIPOC, CRUD

 Map a business process model into a system requirements model ensuring full traceability between models

 Develop Value Chains & High Level Process Models

 Utilise Workflow Patterns

 Generate BPEL for process diagrams

 Utilise Simulations
