This course bridges the gap between administration and Information Technology, integrating tools and techniques for designing, implementing, controlling, and analyzing operational business processes—typically involving people, organizations, and software applications.
Through a blend of theoretical instruction and hands-on exercises, participants will engage in practical assignments that reinforce key concepts.

Key Learning Outcomes:
1. Fundamentals of BPM
2. Strategies for BPM Implementation
3. Process modeling, analysis, and design
4. Governance and business strategies
5. Process modeling using BPMN
6. Business rules management

Audience:

Managers seeking to make informed decisions regarding BPM, Business Consultants, Business Analysts, Business Process Engineers, System Analysts, and anyone involved in analyzing and planning Business Processes.

This course is designed for professionals responsible for modeling processes using BPMN 2.0.

It emphasizes the practical application of all aspects of the BPMN 2.0 specification, along with the implementation of common patterns.

The course consists of short lectures followed by hands-on exercises: participants will receive a problem described in English and must create an appropriate diagram for each scenario. These diagrams will then be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the trainer.

While the primary focus is on understanding BPMN diagrams, the course also covers the foundational elements of BPMN execution.

This program is designed for business analysts seeking to leverage BPMN 2.0 extensively within their projects.

The curriculum emphasizes the practical application of all BPMN 2.0 specification elements, as well as the implementation of standard patterns.

Consisting of concise lectures paired with hands-on exercises, participants will receive problem descriptions and are tasked with creating appropriate diagrams for each scenario. Following the exercise phase, these diagrams will be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the instructor.

Please note that this course does not address the execution aspects of BPMN; instead, it centers on the analysis and process design components of BPMN 2.0.

Target Audience:

Individuals interested in Process Modelling will find this training course on business process modeling notation highly beneficial. This includes:

• Business and Process Analysts
• Process Designers and Implementers
• Project and Programme Managers
• Professionals involved in business change and transformation.

This course focuses on imparting practical knowledge and developing BPMN modeling skills at intermediate and advanced levels.

The ideal participant is a business analyst—someone who discovers, identifies, gathers, and analyzes user requirements for systems. Additionally, advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in creating business processes, systems, and custom drivers will find this training valuable.

The course does not cover executable BPMN levels.

Training is primarily conducted through dominant computer-based techniques (~90%). During these sessions, we translate real-world business situations into Business Process Diagrams (BPDs) and learn to interpret diagrams to assess their practical utility.

This is a highly intensive, practical course. Theoretical considerations of BPMN are not addressed.

This course is designed for professionals who intend to utilize BPMN 2.0 extensively within their projects. It emphasizes the practical application of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, along with the implementation of common patterns.

Please note that this course does not address the execution of BPMN; instead, it concentrates on the analysis and process design components of BPMN 2.0.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Numerous exercises and hands-on practice using Camunda Modeler.
• Practical implementation within a live-lab environment.

Audience

This course equips participants with the skills to execute business processes using BPMN. It covers the graphical representation and the commonly used attributes of BPMN 2 elements.

Technology

The course is not platform-specific; it focuses exclusively on elements and attributes defined by the OMG specification. While jBPM is used by default, any other tool that supports BPMN 2.0 can be utilized.

Class format

Participants will engage with example use cases followed by hands-on exercises to enable them to execute their processes.

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN), and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) represent three Object Management Group (OMG) standards dedicated to process, decision, and case modeling. This course offers an overview of each standard and clarifies the appropriate scenarios for applying them.

This instructor-led, live training in Mexico (online or onsite) is aimed at all-level project managers who wish to gain Green Belt certification knowledge in BPMN to streamline project workflows, improve process efficiency, and ensure compliance with business standards.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the core concepts and components of BPMN 2.0.
• Create and interpret BPMN diagrams to represent business processes.
• Optimize workflows using best practices in BPMN modeling.
• Identify and eliminate inefficiencies in business processes.
• Integrate BPMN into project management and process improvement initiatives.

Objective:

This training program is designed to assist business analysts in efficiently modeling their business processes and the resources managed by their activities. Within an agile enterprise framework, participants will learn to apply appropriate BPMN notations and UML business extensions to address "business requirements" and coherently guide the associated design-level activities.

ProcessMaker is an open-source BPM software application. It is a lightweight, fully web-based tool written in PHP that can compete with expensive enterprise solutions.

This course shows you how to implement process management using ProcessMaker, focusing on how to create a process definition, define roles, groups and users, and start a process from an external application.

Process mining, also known as Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a technique that uses algorithms to analyze event logs for examining business processes. This approach goes beyond data storage and analysis by connecting data with processes, offering valuable insights into trends and patterns that influence process efficiency.

Course Format

• The course begins with an overview of the most widely used process mining techniques. We explore various process discovery algorithms and tools for modeling processes from raw event data. Real-life case studies are reviewed, and datasets are analyzed using the ProM open-source framework.
