About the course

This workshop demonstrates how the goals of business process modelling can be met through the effective use of the BPMN standard's syntax, BPMN 2.0. This syntax supports practical, proven techniques in a manner that helps business analysts and stakeholders to model specific, unambiguous processes. It is growing in popularity with organisations who struggle to get value from modelling with generic business process syntax and tools.

Theory is applied with realistic examples and paper exercises throughout. This will give you the opportunity to test out using BPMN in a practical and stimulating way. It is an ideal extension for anyone who has studied the BCS Modelling Business Processes module who wants to learn the BPMN 2.0 syntax.

Please note: While the syntax covered allows the business to distinguish which parts of the process will be performed using IT and which will be manual, the level of BPMN used on this workshop stops short of any technical syntax required to drive process automation tools.
