In the last couple of years, more and more organizations have switched to Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) as their preferred (often, the standard) way to capture, model, and analyze business processes.

There are several reasons for this trend:

  • Simple notation: easy to learn and communicate with all stakeholders, on both the business and the technical sides
  • Flexible: 3 levels of abstraction that allow modeling simple high-level processes (Descriptive level), analysis and optimization (Analytic level), and specifying complex processes for IT implementation and/or execution (Execution level)
  • Showing the whole-picture + hierarchal structure: allows abstraction at high-levels and elaboration into further details, without losing the relationships between different process components
  • Efficiency/reuse: projects and analysts reuse/elaborate same models as more details are added throughout the Solution/System Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
  • Widely adopted standard: common set of conventions and symbols, with no need to (re)invent the wheel
  • Wide adoption by tool providers: virtually all major vendors, commercial or open-source, have adopted BPMN

In this seminar we will introduce core concepts and principles of Business Process Management (BPM) and BPMN and demonstrate how this knowledge will significantly improve Business Analysts’ ability to elicit/capture, analyze, manage, and communicate business and solution requirements.
