This course has been developed for government professionals responsible for modeling processes in BPMN 2.0.

The focus is on practical aspects of the BPMN 2.0 specification, as well as the implementation of common patterns for government workflows.

The course consists of a series of short lectures followed by exercises. Participants will be presented with problems described in English and will be required to create appropriate diagrams for each problem. These diagrams will then be discussed and assessed by both the group and the trainer.

This course emphasizes understanding BPMN diagrams, but also covers basic elements of the execution phase of BPMN for government applications.

This course has been created for business analysts in federal agencies who want to use BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects.

It focuses on the practical aspects of the entire BPMN 2.0 specification, as well as the implementation of common patterns for government.

The course is structured as a series of short lectures followed by exercises. Participants will be presented with problems described in English and will need to create appropriate diagrams for each problem. These diagrams will then be discussed and assessed by both the group and the trainer.

This course does not cover the execution aspects of BPMN; it focuses on the analysis and process design components of BPMN 2.0.

Audience:

Delegates who have an interest in Process Modeling will benefit from attending this Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) training course, designed for government professionals including:

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

The course aims to provide practical knowledge and advanced BPMN modeling skills at both Intermediate and Advanced levels for government professionals.

The ideal participant is a business analyst responsible for discovering, identifying, gathering, and analyzing user requirements for systems. This also includes advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in the creation of business processes, system, and custom drivers for government use.

The course does not address issues at the Executable BPMN level.

Training is conducted primarily through hands-on computer exercises (approximately 90%), during which participants will translate real business situations into Business Process Diagrams (BPD). They will also assess the practical utility of these diagrams.

This is an intensive, practical course that focuses strictly on applying BPMN in a real-world context. The training does not delve into theoretical considerations of BPMN.

The course aims to teach practical knowledge of BPMN modeling and basic skills for government.

The ideal student is an individual who analyzes and documents processes as a model, either as a business user, IT system professional, or business analyst collaborating with stakeholders within a specific organizational function in the public sector.

The training is conducted through a combination of moderated discussions (40%) and computer workshops (60%). A significant portion of the laboratory work involves translating business situations into BPMN diagrams.

This course is an intensely practical program, strictly focused on hands-on application. The training does not delve into theoretical considerations of BPMN, ensuring that participants can immediately apply their skills in real-world scenarios for government workflows.

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.

Objective:

This training course is designed to assist business analysts in effectively modeling their business processes using BPMN, as well as the resources managed by their activities. Conducted within an agile enterprise framework, business analysts will learn how to utilize appropriate BPMN notations and the business extensions of UML to address their "business requirements" and guide underlying design level activities coherently. This course is tailored for government professionals to enhance their capabilities in process modeling and resource management.

This course has been designed for government managers, business analysts, process designers, developers, and subject matter experts who wish to design, validate, and simulate processes using jBPM. It also covers writing unit tests for these processes.

The course typically utilizes the latest stable version of the community jBPM project. Previous versions of jBPM may also be used, with approval required before booking.

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.

Although Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is not specific to Business Process Management (BPM) software, there are several natural synergies between BPM and SOA. Perhaps the most evident of these is the separation of business process management as an independent function, which allows processes to be designed independently of any single application and leveraged as shared business logic. This approach enhances flexibility and reusability, aligning well with the needs for government workflows and governance.

This training course is designed to assist business analysts in effectively modeling their business processes using BPMN, as well as the resources managed by their activities. Conducted within an agile enterprise framework, business analysts will learn how to utilize appropriate BPMN notations and business extensions of UML to address their "business requirements" and coherently guide underlying design level activities. This course is tailored for government professionals to enhance their capabilities in process modeling and resource management, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability.
