BPMN 2.0 Master Guide: Learn Process Modeling from Scratch

Description of the variety of events for this category: start event, boundary event and end event. The student will learn how to discern the type of event that is most appropriate to mark the beginning and end of the process, as well as boundary events that are part of the flow of activities as well.

Description of the ten (10) types of tasks and their differences. The student will be able to select the specific type of task that best describes a particular process in order to avoid always using the same one (usually the simple task).

Description of the types of gateways. The student will gain the skills to incorporate gates accurately, depending on the appearance of decision nodes throughout the process.

Complete development of the workflow of a Preventive Maintenance process. The student will be able to integrate the skills related to the events, tasks and gates, to see them reflected in the description of a real process.

Description of the connector and their proper use within the process diagram. The student will learn to distinguish the appropriate use of each connector depending on the nature of the modeled process.

Explanation of the use of pools, lines and phases within the process diagram. The student will learn to segment the tasks of a process model according to the number of roles or actors involved in its execution and will identify the moments where it is appropriate to divide the process flow in phases.

Explanation of the types of artifacts and data objects. The student will gain additional knowledge that will allow him to add greater conceptual richness to his process models.

Differences between Reusable, Expanded, and Collapsed sub processes. Explanation of their proper use according to the characteristics and nature of the modeled process. The student will be able to select the type of sub process that best suits his model, adding a differential that will remark its value in comparison to similar process diagrams with less detail.

Explanation of the "sub-process" notion and its fundamental attributes. Difference with the concept of simple tasks. The student will be able to incorporate sub-processes within their process models.

Explanation of input-activity-output logic that supposes the foundation of any process. The student will understand how the inputs of a process are transformed by a set of related tasks that aims to generate outputs that satisfy the needs of the beneficiary of a process.

Extension of the "Modeling of Processes" notion, presentation of the key principles for a good process modeling. The student will learn the fundamentals to make appropriate process models.

Explore the various options offered by element properties. The student will know how to add concise and complementary information for each element that is part of the process flow without visually saturating the main diagram.

Explanation of the location and functions of the diagram properties. The student will be able to edit this section correctly in order to incorporate key information that allows the stakeholders of the process to understand it better.

Explanation of the notion of "collaborative diagrams" and the appropriate way to relate them within the same process, respecting the BPM guidelines.

Explanation of the "import" and "export" options. The student will acquire a powerful tool that will allow to take advantage of external BPM information and import his own diagrams, files or BPM elements into compatible formats for other programs or formats.

Description of the procedure for converting process diagram information into publishable formats (Word, HTML, among others).

Development from scratch of a traditional hotel reservation process. The student will distinguish the elements of the BPMN notation reflected in the development of the case, while strengthening his learning.

Extension of the "Modeling of Processes" notion, presentation of the key principles for a good process modeling. The student will learn the fundamentals to make appropriate process models.

Instructions concerning the exercise "Request for Medical Appointment". The student will have the opportunity to perform the modeling of the process from scratch and practice the knowledge acquired. At the end of the video a proposal of response is included suggested by the instructor to compare the results.

Instructions concerning the exercise "Staff Recruitment and selection". The student will have the opportunity to perform the modeling of the process from scratch and practice the knowledge acquired. At the end of the video a proposal of response is included suggested by the instructor to compare the results.

Instructions concerning the exercise "Bank credit evaluation". The student will have the opportunity to perform the modeling of the process from scratch and practice the knowledge acquired. At the end of the video a proposal of response is included suggested by the instructor to compare the results.

Introduction to the simulations of processes in Bizagi. This option allows to evaluate the performance of a model with different hypothetical configurations of resources (time, money and people) in order to identify the degree of fulfillment of a business requirements, eliminate bottlenecks, avoid over-utilization of resources and optimizing system´s performance.

Explanation of What If analysis as a powerful methodology to evaluate the impact of business decisions (modifications, changes, improvements) under real conditions and in a risk-free environment. The student will learn to define test scenarios to evaluate and predict the effects of decisions on the performance of a process.
