BPMN 2.0 Crash Course: From Beginner to Process Modeler

In only 2 hours from total beginner to your first process models!!

This crash course is designed to get you started quickly! In only 2 hours, you will learn the most important BPMN basics and model your first real business processes step by step!

Master the process modeling & BPMN elements that appear in 99% of all business processes!

You don't need any prior BPMN knowledge to get started. This course is designed to take you from complete beginner to confident process modeler by focusing on the BPMN concepts that matter most in real-world scenarios. Instead of overwhelming you with every BPMN detail, we'll focus on the elements, patterns, and modeling techniques you'll encounter again and again in practice.

During the course, we will work through beginner-friendly scenarios such as:

• serving customers in an ice cream shop

• refurbishing reusable rockets

• organizing fashion shop giveaways

• verifying new car components

• booking tickets for a music festival

Each scenario adds new pieces to your BPMN toolbox!

In this course I keep things simple, beginner-friendly and practical. You start with the absolute basics, like start events, end events, tasks, sequence flows, pools and lanes.

Then we gradually add more useful BPMN concepts such as:

• Exclusive Gateways

• Parallel Gateways

• Inclusive Gateways

• Event Based Gateways

• Message Events

• Timer Events

• Conditional Events

• Attached Events

• Data Objects

• Data Stores

• Link Events

• Sub Processes

• Expanded Sub Processes

• Call Activities

I will guide you through the basics in a clear and practical way, so you can build confidence quickly and understand what you are actually doing while modeling. Also you will not just look at these symbols. You will see why they are used, when they make sense, and how they fit into real processes.

You will also learn important modeling principles, including:

• how to keep your diagrams clean
