Course overview
Description generated based on course syllabus and open data.
Unify processes into a transparent system using Business Process Model and Notation. BPMN 2.0 provides a common language for events, tasks, gateways, and rules, enabling analysis, governance, and future automation.
- Format: live online, 6 weeks, 11 sessions.
- Instructor: Iryna Kryuchkova (16+ years in process automation).
- IIBA Endorsed: up to 17.5 PD hours/CDU.
Who BPMN Notation suits / who it does not
Suitable for BPMN 2.0 work
- Business analysts, systems analysts, product/project managers.
- Operations managers, process owners, RPA/low‑code teams.
- Quality specialists responsible for policies and SOPs.
Not suitable
- Those seeking programming training instead of modeling.
- Those not ready to document processes and maintain diagrams.
Problem → outcome with BPMN Notation
- Scattered process knowledge → a single process map with events and tasks.
- Chaotic approvals → clear swimlanes/pools with roles and accountability.
- Unclear execution variants → explicit gateways and token simulation.
- Ad‑hoc decisions → DMN decision models and agreed rules.
Comparison with alternatives
BPMN vs Flowchart
BPMN 2.0 provides formal semantics, events, messaging, and tokens; flowcharts do not scale to complex scenarios.
BPMN vs UML Activity
BPMN is more business‑friendly, with real‑world process elements (pools, messages, events).
BPMN vs text SOP/instructions
Text is hard to validate for completeness and variants; BPMN makes flows and exceptions visible.
BPMN + DMN
Combining BPMN and DMN separates flow from rules, easing model maintenance.
Learning outcomes with BPMN Notation
BPMN 2.0: events, tasks, lanes
- Create diagrams with tasks, events, gateways, lanes, and pools.
- Model subprocesses, message exchanges, data, and exceptions.
Business Process Model and Notation + DMN
- Build DMN decision tables and integrate them with BPMN processes.
- Validate token flow and compliance with governance.
BPMN tools and practice
- Work with modeling tools; select the right level of detail.
- Capstone project based on own processes and final presentation.
