This course is designed for professionals tasked with modeling processes using the BPMN 2.0 standard.

The curriculum emphasizes the practical application of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, alongside the implementation of common process patterns.

The training consists of concise lectures followed by hands-on exercises. Participants will be presented with specific scenarios described in English and must create appropriate diagrams to address each case. Subsequently, these diagrams will be reviewed, discussed, and evaluated by the group and the instructor.

While the primary focus is on mastering the interpretation of BPMN diagrams, the course also introduces key aspects of the execution side of BPMN.

This course is designed for business analysts aiming to leverage BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects.

It emphasizes the practical application of the BPMN 2.0 specification, including the implementation of standard patterns.

The course consists of concise lectures paired with hands-on exercises. Participants will receive problem descriptions in English and must create appropriate diagrams for each scenario. Subsequently, these diagrams will be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the instructor.

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

Target Audience:

Participants with a keen interest in Process Modelling will find this business process modeling notation training course highly beneficial. It is designed for:

• Business and Process Analysts
• Process Designers and Implementers
• Project and Programme Managers
• Anyone engaged in business change and transformation.

This course is designed to impart practical knowledge and develop BPMN modeling competencies at Intermediate and Advanced levels.

The ideal candidate is a business analyst—specifically, a professional who discovers, identifies, gathers, and analyzes user requirements for systems. It is also suited for advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in designing business processes, system components, and custom drivers.

Note: The course does not cover Executable BPMN specifications.

Training is delivered primarily through hands-on computer exercises (~90%). This approach allows participants to translate real-world business scenarios into Business Process Diagrams (BPD) and simultaneously practice interpreting diagrams to assess their practical utility.

This is an intensely practical course. It does not delve into the theoretical foundations of BPMN.

This course is designed for professionals seeking to leverage BPMN 2.0 extensively within their projects. It emphasizes the practical application of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, alongside the implementation of common patterns.

While this course does not address the execution of BPMN processes, it concentrates on the analysis and process design dimensions of BPMN 2.0.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Ample exercises and practice sessions using Camunda Modeler.
• Hands-on implementation within a live-lab environment.

Target Audience

This course equips participants with the skills to implement business processes using BPMN. It explores the graphical notation along with the most frequently used attributes of BPMN 2 components.

Technical Approach

The course is platform-agnostic, focusing exclusively on elements and attributes defined by the OMG specification. While jBPM is used by default, any tool that supports BPMN 2.0 is suitable for the exercises.

Training Format

Participants will work through practical use case examples followed by hands-on exercises, enabling them to successfully execute their own processes.

The Object Management Group (OMG) has established three key standards: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN), and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN), which address process modeling, decision logic, and case handling, respectively. This course introduces all three frameworks and clarifies when each should be applied.

This instructor-led, live training in Bulgaria (online or onsite) targets project managers at all levels who wish to acquire Green Belt certification knowledge in BPMN. The goal is 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 empower business analysts with the skills to efficiently map out their business processes and associated resources using BPMN. Within the context of an agile enterprise framework, participants will learn to apply suitable BPMN notations and UML business extensions to address their business requirements and effectively guide the underlying design activities in a coherent manner.

ProcessMaker is an open-source Business Process Management (BPM) software application. It is a lightweight, fully web-based tool developed in PHP, capable of competing with costly enterprise solutions.

This course demonstrates how to implement process management using ProcessMaker, with a focus on creating process definitions, defining roles, groups, and users, and initiating processes from external applications.

Process mining, also known as Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a methodology that utilizes algorithms on event logs to analyze business processes. It extends beyond simple data storage and analysis by connecting data with process execution, offering valuable insights into trends and patterns that influence operational efficiency.

Course Format

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