Business processes are complicated, and mapping them is not a trivial task.

Modelling standards give us the tools to model complex processes, but they do not tell us the best way to approach a model or effectively use the tool.

In this hour-long webinar, Rod Fage (LinkedIn profile) will explore the best way to develop a model, from determining the goal and scope of the process and measuring its effectiveness, to modelling the process in a hierarchical top-down approach, enabling business analyst to continuously validate the model.

The goal is to have a model that is:

  • Complete
  • Consistent
  • Understandable by business and IT
  • Structurally consistent

You’ll learn how to:

  • Define the scope and goals of a process.
  • Define the stakeholders of a process.
  • Create an overview of modelling that elaborates from a high-level model into detailed process sub-models.
  • Follow best practice guidelines of modelling.
