BPM only really started to become popular in the 1990s. Older modeling techniques had focused mainly on time and cost, but the increasing size and complexity of enterprises meant that tools were needed to understand and manage cross-functional relationships and dependencies
The ‘process’ increasingly became viewed as the basic unit of business activity, as the art and science of business management progressed to a more suitable method of modeling these more complex systems. Business process redesign, innovation and management methodologies were developed, in accordance with the newly favored working hypothesis – that improving processes was the best way to improving an enterprise overall.
BPM also had a major and permanent effect on software engineering, where it formed an essential part of the specification of Business Application Systems. BPM gave rise to the conceptual framework which has since been used to support data collection, data flow analysis, process flow diagrams and reporting facilities.
The first visual software tools for BPM came on the market in 1995. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) was first released in 2004. BPMN built on UML – an earlier flow-charting modeling language – with the aim of allowing more complex process semantics whilst still remaining intuitive to business users. It has since been widely adopted, and the latest version (BPMN 2.0) was released in 2011.
BPM arose out of the need to adapt processes in order to increase quality and efficiency. Analysts and managers can use BPM to develop insights and plans which often form the basis of change management programmes.
BPMN builds on traditional flow-charting methods which are familiar to businesses, with a few advantages:
- The meaning of the shapes and symbols is predefined.
- It allows hierarchical modelling through the sub-process concepts. This means that you can take very large collections of interdependent processes, and shrink them onto a single page. Within that view, you can then expand all the sub-processes and see every level of detail.
- BPMN allows you to show connections between the process and the external environment – including customers, service providers, and other internal processes, communications and message flows.
Kick-start your Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) training today by taking this extensive BPMN 2.0 course!
Created by experienced industry experts, this course will show you how to confidently map consistent and logical organizational processes in line with version 2.0 of the BPMN global standard. This common modeling methodology will allow you to create diagrams that can be shared consistently across all business domains.
Course Syllabus: BPMN Level 1
Module 1: Course Overview
This course has been designed & written by leading BPMN training expert Bruce Silver to teach you everything you need to create precise BPMN process models that can be clearly understood and adopted by the wider business.
In this module you will get an overview of the course, the key objectives, and the Orbus BPMN modeling tool that you will use.
Module 2: What is BPMN?
In this module you’ll learn about what BPMN is, the ways in which it is similar to and different from traditional flowcharts, and why understanding BPMN has become the critical foundation skill required for anything you do in BPM.
Module 3: Getting Started with BPMN
In this module you will learn how to use the Orbus BPMN 2 Template to create simple BPMN diagrams that include tasks, gateways, and multiple end states.
Module 4: Pools, Sub-processes, and Hierarchical Modeling
In this module you will learn about collaboration, the message flows indicating interactions between the process and external entities such as the Customer, service providers, and other processes, essential to a complete process model.
In addition you will learn the rest of the shapes and symbols in the BPMN Level 1 palette.
Module 5: Collaboration and a “Complete” Top-Level Diagram
In this module you will learn about collaboration, the message flows indicating interactions between the process and external entities such as the Customer, service providers, and other processes, essential to a complete process model.
In addition you will learn the rest of the shapes and symbols in the BPMN Level 1 palette.
Module 6: BPMN Concepts and the High Level Map
In this module you will understand the precise meaning of BPMN’s most fundamental concepts and why they are critical to properly structured models.
You will apply them in the first two steps of the Method, Scoping the Process and the High-Level Map.
Module 7: Creating BPMN with The Method
In this module you will translate the High Level Map into a top-level BPMN diagram, and then expand each High Level Map activity in a separate child-level diagram.
You will also learn how to add message flows to the model, replicating the collaboration from child to parent level.
Module 8: BPMN Style
In this module you will learn the basic elements of BPMN Style applicable to Level 1 process models.
Course Syllabus: BPMN Level 2
Module 1: Events Overview and Using Timer Events
In this module you will learn about the various ways in which BPMN uses intermediate events, the important events you need to learn, and how to use the first of the “Big 3” event types, Timer.
Module 2: Sending, Receiving, and Using Message Events
In this module you will learn about sending and receiving messages in BPMN and the proper use of Message events.
Module 3: Using Error, Event Sub-processes, and the Other Level 2 Events
In this module you will learn how to use the Error event, and understand event sub-processes and the other Level 2 event types.
Module 4: Branching and Merging
In this module you will learn more about branching and merging with gateways and conditional sequence flows.
Module 5: Iteration
In this module you will learn how to use loop and multi-instance activities and multi-pool structures to describe iterative behavior in BPMN.
Module 6: Following the Rules, and Next Steps
In this module you will learn about the BPMN metamodel, XML, and rules, and the importance of model validation, along with suggestions for further learning.
This eLearning course will teach you everything you need to create precise BPMN process models that can be clearly understood and adopted by your wider business. Our course has been designed & written by leading BPMN training experts.
You can practice your skills with prescribed “in-class” exercises using the Orbus Software BPMN 2.0 Visio template.
Each module concludes with a brief knowledge check to help students consolidate what they have learned. The questions are a combination of true or false, complete the sentence, sorting exercises and the occasional scenario.
Feedback is given with each answer to help the learner work through the topics. Students can also enjoy 24/7 tutor support.
Although there is no official examination or assessment, you will receive a certificate of completion once you successfully finish this course.
