This course has been developed for government employees responsible for modeling processes using BPMN 2.0. It emphasizes practical aspects of the BPMN 2.0 specification and common implementation patterns. The curriculum consists of a series of concise lectures followed by hands-on exercises. Participants will be presented with problems described in English and tasked with creating accurate diagrams for each scenario. These diagrams will then be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the instructor. While the course primarily focuses on understanding BPMN diagrams, it also covers the fundamentals of BPMN execution.

This course has been developed for business analysts who intend to utilize BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects for government. It emphasizes the practical application of all BPMN 2.0 specifications and common implementation patterns. The course structure consists of a series of concise lectures followed by exercises where participants will be presented with problems described in English and tasked with creating appropriate diagrams. These diagrams will then be reviewed and evaluated by both the group and the instructor. It is important to note that this course does not address the execution aspects of BPMN; instead, it focuses on analysis and process design elements of BPMN 2.0.

Audience:

This business process modeling notation training course is designed for government delegates who have an interest in Process Modelling. It will benefit the following participants:

• Business and Process Analysts
• Process Designers and Implementers
• Project and Program Managers
• Anyone involved with business change and transformation initiatives for government

The course is designed to impart practical knowledge and advanced skills in BPMN modeling at both Intermediate and Advanced levels. Ideal participants include business analysts who are responsible for discovering, identifying, gathering, and analyzing user requirements for systems. Additionally, the course is suitable for advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in creating business processes, system integrations, and custom drivers. The course does not cover Executable BPMN topics. Training is primarily conducted using a hands-on computer-based approach (approximately 90%), where participants translate real-world business scenarios into Business Process Diagrams (BPDs) and evaluate the practical utility of these diagrams. This is an intensely practical course, strictly focused on application rather than theoretical considerations of BPMN. The training aligns with the need for government agencies to enhance their process management capabilities and ensure efficient service delivery.

This course has been developed for individuals who intend to utilize BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects, with a focus on the practical aspects of the BPMN 2.0 specification and the implementation of common patterns. The curriculum does not address the execution part of BPMN; instead, it emphasizes analysis and process design elements of BPMN 2.0. Format of the Course

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions using Camunda Modeler.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment to ensure practical application of concepts.

This course is tailored for government professionals looking to enhance their process design skills and align with best practices in project management.

Audience

This course is designed to prepare participants to execute business processes using BPMN. It covers the graphical representation as well as the commonly used attributes of BPMN 2 elements, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows and governance for government.

Technology

This course is not platform-specific; it focuses on elements and attributes covered by the OMG specification. By default, it uses jBPM, but any other tool can be used as long as it supports BPMN 2.0, ensuring flexibility and compliance with government standards.

Class Format

Participants will follow example use cases, followed by hands-on exercises to enable them to execute their processes effectively for government operations.

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN), and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) are three Object Management Group (OMG) standards designed for process, decision, and case modeling. This course offers an introduction to these standards and provides guidance on when each should be utilized in the context of operations for government agencies.

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

Objective:

This training course is designed to assist business analysts in effectively modeling their business processes using BPMN, as well as managing the resources utilized by these processes. Conducted within an agile enterprise framework, participants will learn to utilize appropriate BPMN notations and business extensions of UML to address their "business requirements" and guide underlying design activities coherently. This course is tailored to enhance the capabilities of business analysts in aligning with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability for government operations.

ProcessMaker is an open-source Business Process Management (BPM) software application. It is a lightweight, fully web-based tool written in PHP, designed to provide functionality comparable to expensive enterprise solutions for government.

This course provides detailed instruction on implementing process management using ProcessMaker, with a focus on creating process definitions, defining roles, groups, and users, and initiating processes from external applications.

Process mining, or Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a technique that applies algorithms to event logs to analyze business processes. Process mining goes beyond mere data storage and analysis; it bridges data with processes and provides insights into the trends and patterns that impact process efficiency.

Format of the Course for Government

• The course begins with an overview of the most commonly used techniques for process mining. We will discuss various process discovery algorithms and tools used to discover and model processes based on raw event data. Real-life case studies are examined, and data sets are analyzed using the ProM open-source framework.
