Overview
Process modelling provides a way to graphically describe and analyse the business processes in an organisation and to provide input to process improvement, process automation or software development processes.The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) is the official industry standard for process modelling. BPMN provides a variety of options for process modelling. This affords BPMN high expressive power but also high usage complexity. This course will introduce, step-by-step, all relevant concepts of BPMN. Participants will receive a certification documenting their gathered understanding and mastery of the standard.

Process modelling provides a way for graphically describing and analysing the business processes in an organisation and to provide input to process improvement, process automation or software development processes.
The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) in its version 2.0 is the official industry standard for process modelling. BPMN provides a large variety of options for process modelling including the ability to document complex choreographies and conversations between stakeholders and organisations. This course will introduce, step-by-step, all relevant concepts of BPMN 2.0. It also provides an introduction to important modelling conventions and suggests recommendations for effective modelling practice. Participants will receive a certification documenting their gathered understanding and mastery of the standard.
Topics covered include:
- Origins and scope of BPMN
- Basic BPMN process modelling
- Organisational modelling
- Process choreography and process orchestration
- Advanced control flow modelling
- Event handling
- Exception handling
- Modelling conventions and best practices
