Introduction: Process Analysis Fundamentals1:02
Congratulations! You've now made it to the next section in this course. In this new section we're going to cover how Process Analysts actually analyze process models using three of the most common techniques.

Activity Costing is the method that allows Process Analysts to assess how to reduce time and cost in a process. It is the most common way a BPM Process Analyst will assess a business - particularly when using process models.
Analyzing a Process Model: Capacity Planning6:07
Capacity Planning is the final process analysis method we'll walk through. Its purpose is to simulate and plan for the optimal number of staff needed to deliver a product or service. Capacity planning is usually used in manufacturing environments or businesses that need to deliver products to customers.

Description

Hi there! My name is Theodore Panagacos and I am a long time Business Process Management expert.

Are you an aspiring Process Modeler or Process Architect or Management Consultant who has been struggling with the basics of process modelling and want to quickly take your skills to the next level?

In this course I show you how to build, create and publish your very own BPMN 2.0 complaint models exactly like the professionals do.

As THE best-selling author in Business Process Management, I’ve created and published many process models for some of the world’s top performing organizations. By working with these companies, not only did I learn first-hand how to model using BPMN but I quickly found I started to teach others too. This course is the direct result of many years of experience in modelling using Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 (BPMN) and Microsoft Visio Professional.

In this course I will show you:

How to build a Process Architecture.
How to create a canvass and setup up your canvass so you're ready to model.
How to use the important features in Microsoft Visio Professional.
How to create professional process models in Business Process Model and Notation 1.2 and 2.0 (BPMN) using Microsoft Visio Professional.
How to analyze process models for efficiency using the three most common methods used by the professionals.

And we're going to learn this together, step-by-step with LIVE demonstrations.

Not only will this course teach you about modelling BPMN 2.0, but it has been designed to make you a more effective employee. This Master Class covers critical aspects of process modelling that will help you add immediate value to almost any business analysis or process improvement activity you'll work on. Best of all, the course has been structured in an easy-to-follow format, and includes course notes so you can continue your education offline.

This is a practical course with real life skills. I'm even going to show you LIVE exactly how to create a model from scratch and how to present it in a way that would impress your work colleagues and stakeholders.

But why should you take THIS process modelling course?

This course has been designed to be for students at ALL levels. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or advanced.
Other courses may not teach you the full end-to-end of process modelling in a professional way using a world-class tool. Therefore you may miss out on important key concepts and essential skills that should provide you a solid foundation for your Process Analyst or BPM career. This course covers it all.
But why the difference? I spent many years writing my best-selling book and I’ve taken all that material and put it into an online course to make it more accessible and relatable for students at all levels.

Enrol Today!
