Master tools and techniques to create and communicate business processes using BPMN 2.0, mastering syntax, semantics, and best practices for visual process modeling with iGrafx.

iGrafx Process 360 Overview1:44
Discover how iGrafx process 360 unites BPMN 2.0, process mining, design, and AI-based automation. Explore operational intelligence, the process design module, and automation for end-to-end transformation.
BPM and BPMN 2.01:48
Explore the history and purpose of BPMN 2.0, from BPMI and OMG mergers to its 2013 release, and learn how BPMN provides a clear, common language for business process models.

Create Process Diagrams in iGrafx5:24
Create a simple process model in igrafx from start to finish using folders, diagrams, and bpmn diagrams, and link tasks with sequence flows.
Complete BPMN 2.0 Process Model and BPMN 2.0 Elements3:01
Create a complete BPMN 2.0 process model from start to end by placing start, tasks, and end events, linking with sequence flow, and managing versions with check-in and compare versions.
Process Model Formatting1:06
Master process model formatting in iGrafx BPMN 2.0 by aligning shapes, adjusting spacing, and using the shape legend and styles to apply color, borders, and text changes.
Task & Process Description1:21
Capture richer process information by adding multi-line notes to tasks, keeping each task description under five words, then save to let end users access images, videos, or links.
BPMN 2.0 Naming Conventions1:15
Adopt BPMN 2.0 naming conventions for tasks and start/end events, applying capitalization rules and active-voice labels up to five words to keep processes clear.

Introduction to Gateways1:19
Explore how gateways direct BPMN process flows by using parallel and exclusive gateways to split and merge paths based on conditions, enabling parallel execution or single-path decisions.
Exclusive Gateways (XOR)4:09
Model exclusive gateways in BPMN 2.0 by routing a workshop flow through an opening gateway labeled 'Are attendees more than 20?' to online meeting or conference room.
Parallel Gateways2:23
Explore how parallel gateways in BPMN 2.0 model workshop planning, splitting the flow into creating materials and contacting SMEs, then merging before the end event signals completion.
Gateways Best Practices2:45
Discover best practices for gateways in BPMN 2.0, including exclusive gateways with clear decision points, correct parallel and exclusive gateway usage, and avoiding overlapping or unmerged sequence flows.
Gateways Exercise0:48
Model a checkout process using gateways to decide delivery charges: pack the order, determine value, apply criteria above or below $50, and ship the order using BPMN 2.0 with iGrafx.
Pools and Swimalnes3:20
Learn how pools and swimlanes assign roles and responsibilities in BPMN 2.0, with pools for organizational units and swimlanes for process participants.
IT Systems4:43
Explore adding IT system objects to process models, using examples like Outlook, Microsoft, SAP, ServiceNow, or Salesforce, to drive tasks across pools and swimlanes from start to deliverables.
Knowledge Check - Quiz!

Requirements

No prior experience with iGrafx or BPMN is required — this course starts from the basics.

Description

This course provides a practical introduction to iGrafx Process 360 and BPMN 2.0 process modelling — the global standard for documenting, analysing, and improving business processes. You will learn how to create professional process diagrams using iGrafx, structure them with clear roles and responsibilities, and apply best practices for process governance and documentation.

Starting with the essentials of BPM and the iGrafx suite, the course gradually progresses to hands-on modelling exercises. You will build simple process diagrams, then advance to using BPMN elements such as task types, gateways, timer events, and collapsed pools to represent complex business logic in a clear and maintainable way.

By the end, you will understand not just how to use iGrafx, but why process modelling matters — how it helps organisations drive transparency, efficiency, and collaboration through shared process knowledge.

Check the practice quiz after each section to test your new knowledge!

Upon completion of the course you will receive a Certificate of Completion to recognise their newly acquired iGrafx process modelling skills.

Can't wait to you see in you in the course and talk more about iGrafx and process modelling.
