BPM Training in Virginia

This course has been created for business analysts who want to use BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects.

It focuses on practical aspects of all BPMN 2.0 specification as well as implementations of common patterns.

It is a series of short lectures followed by exercises: the delegates will have a problem described in English, and will have to create a proper diagram for each problem. After that, the diagrams will be discussed and assessed by the group and the trainer.

This course doesn't cover execution part of BPMN, it focuses on analysis and process design aspects of BPMN 2.0.

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.

Whereas BPM is used to model repeatable processes based on clearly defined workflows, Case Management is a technique to represent non-repeatable processes. Unlike BPM, which focuses on process and process optimization, Case Management focuses on data: the capturing, presentation, and modification of data inputs and outputs to assist managers in making better decisions on the fly. JBPM v7 brings together these two disciplines into a single software suite.

In this instructor-led training, participants will learn how to create and manage Cases in JBPM v7 by engaging in live, practical, hands-on exercises and discussions.

By the end of this training, participants will have a firm understanding of when to use Case Management to optimize processes, and will be equipped with the necessary practice to set up, configure, and manage a Case Management system based on JBPM within their own organization.

Audience

- Developers
- Process designers
- Process analyst
- Persons in charge of or interested in process optimization within their organization

Format of the course

- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
