This BPM training will equip you with the skills to automate and manage a wide array of workflows for government. We will delve into the automation steps within typical processes where work items are transferred from one participant to another for action, in accordance with established business rules. You will receive detailed guidance on best practices for automated monitoring as well as strategies for effective governance. Upon course completion, you will be able to: - Understand key terms and concepts in BPM - Utilize major methodologies and techniques for implementing BPM - Define the various technologies that support BPM - Distinguish between process and rules requirements - Translate written business cases into process areas and rule sets - Grasp the differences in strategies between rules-centric and process-centric approaches - Develop business intelligence from process descriptions and rule sets

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.

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

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

The course typically utilizes the latest stable version of the community jBPM project. However, previous versions of jBPM may be used with prior approval before booking.

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.
