BPMN 2.0 Process Modeling using Microsoft Visio Professional

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), with BPMN 2.0.2 being the latest formal version, is the widely adopted global standard for visually mapping business processes to bridge communication gaps between technical and business teams, offering a unified, graphical language for process design and analysis. BPMN 2.0 remains the industry benchmark, supported by major tools and evolving with modern needs, ensuring its relevance for process improvement, automation, and digital transformation initiatives.

Key Reasons BPMN is vital for process mapping:

• Global Standard: Maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG), it's an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 19510) used worldwide.

• Unified Language: It provides a common, intuitive way for everyone (analysts, developers, stakeholders) to understand complex processes visually.

• Bridging Gaps: It effectively connects business process design with technical implementation, supporting automation.

• Versatility: BPMN 2.0 introduced enhancements for more complex models, supporting diverse scenarios and linking with other standards like DMN (Decision Model and Notation).

• Tool Support: Major platforms like Microsoft Visio offer robust BPMN 2.0 modeling environments.

BPMN is the foundational visual language for modern business process management, essential for clarity, collaboration, and process optimization.

Some Recent Reviews

"Started other courses, this is by far the clearer one and structured to my needs for learning."

"This is exactly what I was looking for. A set of rules and procedures for how to map Business process. I despise the willy nilly nature of several other courses I've seen. this one provides a language of it's own that is functional for creating and understanding process flows."

"Mr. Murphy, I am extremely satisfied with the results. Your experience, education and knowledge is exactly what I received from an excellent professor that knows his audience and delivers the skills I can add to my arsenal. This is a very high level online class! Thank you, Jimmy K"

"Excellent Course. Nicely Delivered and Every Topic is Up to the Point. I am learning BPMN for the first time and I could able to appreciate the beauty of the Concept and the entire credit goes to the Instructor."

"Extremely well taught course with a very logical and easy to follow approach. I feel very confident with my abilities after this course"

"I have been a BA for 10 years in Swiss banks, and designed and modeled process diagrams through the entire journey...but I discovered a vast array of unknown constructs that I can incorporate into much of my work, thus improving the expansion of our organisation. Thank you David!"

"This course was very good! The scenario examples, and showing "how do actually do it" in Visio was especially helpful. I would love to see more models and hear additional walkthrough explanations of when you would use which symbols. Great course!"

"Mr. Murphy, I am extremely satisfied with the results. Your experience, education and knowledge is exactly what I received from an excellent professor that knows his audience and delivers the skills I can add to my arsenal. This is a very high level online class! Thank you."

"Highly recommend this course to anyone needing to build their BPMN skills. Having completed the course I now feel well prepared for the projects I'm involved in. BPMN is important to me in my job as a Business Analyst and having completed this course I'm confident that I can prepare professional quality process models using the BPMN standard. Visio is great mostly because of the validation techniques it offers. Makes it easier to produce correct diagrams. Dave's teaching style is easy to understand and builds in a step by step manner."

"Until now, I have felt Visio could not provide real world basics. But through this course, I was surprised to see that many of the features are just not visible at first glance. Now I know this will work perfectly. And without a large learning curve to move the first team beyond basic BPM and into BPMN. The guide was excellent and easy to follow."

"As a senior BA, I have used many modeling techniques, however, BPMN was one never really taught to me. When my new project told me they used it, I had to learn fast. Mr. Murphy's course was exactly what I was looking for. One, it used Visio, which is what I use today and, two, he explained the most common symbols, how to use them, and when. I feel now after watching the class, I can confidently create some business processes using BPMN."
