Visualize processes to understand them, identify scope and internal logic, then model with bpmn notation and apply advanced techniques for complex processes.
Model processes to convert tacit knowledge into explicit documentation, capturing best practices for knowledge retention and onboarding, and guiding decision making with measurable metrics.
Arrange process steps in the correct order to show the logic and ensure repeatable execution. Use forks, exclusive gateways, swim lanes, and messages to model parallel, multi-participant work in BPMN.
Learn how diagrams.net is used to model BPMN diagrams, select BPMN shapes, arrange elements, group them in containers, and export or save diagrams for education purposes.
Explore BPMN activities by modeling tasks with rectangular shapes, distinguishing user, manual, service, business rule, send, receive, and script tasks, plus optional type icons.
Explore BPMN sub processes, including collapsed and expanded views, loops, multi-instance parallel subprocesses, and ad hoc processes, and distinguish sub processes from call activities for clearer, scalable process models.
BPMN starting events: how a starting event initiates a process and triggers the first activity, with types such as message, timer, condition, signal, compensation, error, and escalation.
Explore how intermediate and boundary events enrich processes, using compensation and interrupting boundary events to handle missing products, revert updates, and cancel orders, with escalation and timers.
Discover how BPMN end events mark the process as over, using throw end events and the terminate event, while catch events signal unfinished business and cancel all process flows.
Learn how end events mark where a BPMN process finishes, including standard and alternative ends, and how cancellation or escalation can trigger related processes.
Explore gateways in BPMN and how they control task order through exclusive, parallel, and inclusive decisions. Learn event-based gateways and default flows that split and merge process paths.
Apply BPMN gateways to control flow: compare parallel, exclusive, and event-based gateways, correct misinterpretations, and favor standard notation over diagrams.net symbols to model escalation, shipment, stock, and cancellation.
Explore complex gateway in BPMN, contrasting parallel, inclusive, and exclusive gateways, and learn when to use a complex gateway to express logic that is hard to explain in simple terms.
Explore multiple starting events and parallel events in BPMN to trigger processes from several events or require concurrent ones; learn modeling and avoid dead ends.
Explore a BPMN case study on order delivery, highlighting gateways, subprocesses, and boundary events. See how warehouse and delivery officer roles handle stock, escalation, and delivery options.
This pizza delivery BPMN case study models two pools, the pizza shop and the customer, with multi-instance cooking, update requests, and termination events.
Explore process choreography and orchestration in BPMN, contrasting internal orchestration with inter-business message flows. Learn how choreography tasks model multi-party collaboration through messages and dedicated collaboration diagrams.
Define outcome-oriented, measurable process objectives aligned with business goals. Attach risks, controls, metadata, and process specifications to BPMN models, enabling RACI clarity and practical work instructions.
Transform unorganized processes into clean, clear BPMN models using proven tools and techniques, and apply process analysis for continuous improvement with Lean or Six Sigma.
Hi there!
In fast-paced and competitive business environment, organizations are constantly seeking ways to streamline their processes, enhance collaboration, and boost efficiency. Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) has emerged as a universally accepted standard for visualizing, analyzing, and improving business processes. This course is designed to help professionals master BPMN, equipping them with the skills to map out complex workflows in a clear and structured way, ensuring improved communication across teams and departments.
Proficiency in BPMN opens a lot of career opportunities, from business analysts and project managers to IT professionals and operations specialists. Mastering the core notation, you can easily pick up any modelling tool employed in your organisation, be it Camunda, Signavio, BizAgi, Visual Paradigm, Lucidchart - or any other.
Whether you’re working in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, or tech, understanding BPMN can give you an edge in visualizing and optimizing processes. This course will help you get significantly better in modelling the processes and telling impactful stories with your models.
I hope you'll enjoy!
Have fun.
Igor.
