Introduction to Business Process Management. What is BPM?5:25
Lesson 1: Introduction to Business Process Management

An introduction to what business process management (BPM) is. Here you will be introduced to why BPM is important. Additionally, you will learn the basics needed in a process flow. Finally you will also be introduced to the actors involved in a process.
What is BPMN? : In this lesson you will gain an understanding to what BPMN is?7:06
Lesson 2: What is Business Process Management and Notation
In this lesson, you will be introduced to what business process management and notation is, precisely business process modelling and notation 2.0. You will learn the types of sub-models in BPMN more specifically:
Processes
Choreographies
Collaboration
The Elements of BPMN. Here you will learn the basic elements to flow processes.4:08
Lesson 3: The Elements of BPMN

In this lesson you will learn the elements of BPMN. More specifically you will be introduced to the five basic categories of elements in BPMN. These are:
Flow Objects
Data
Connecting Objects
Swim Lanes
Artifacts
You will be using these elements throughout this course, this lesson however will serve as an introduction and you will be using these elements to model processes in more detail further on in the course
Worked Example: Describing a basic process for buying a house.
Welcome to your first worked assignment in this course, here you will need to download the activity section 1 worked assignment worksheet, print it off and try and answer the questions as best as you can.
**Please note**
This worked example is mainly for those of you who have no background in process modelling, it is a basic assignment. If you have some background knowledge in process modelling it is likely that this particular assignment will not be as beneficial to you. Regardless you can chose to answer it or if you find it rather simplistic given your current knowledge in the field you can feel free to skip to the bonus sections or to the next section of the course.
**Bonus Lesson 1** The historical advancement of BPM and BPMN.5:44
Bonus Lesson 1 - The Historical Advancement of BPM
This lesson is a bonus lesson, in this lesson we look at BPM from a historical advancement perspective. Identifying other process modelling types from the past and where BPM fits into process management today.

This lesson is a bonus lesson, and is not directly related to BPMN except that it will provide you as a student with background knowledge as to the advancement of process modelling from the past right up until today.

If you feel that this lesson will not serve your learning needs feel free to skip through to the next section of Essential Process Modelling.
**Bonus Lesson 2** The lifecycle of BPM9:04
Bonus Lesson 2: The Lifecycle of BPM
In this second bonus lesson we will look at the lifecycle of BPM, and how process modelling takes place or should take place in an organisations day to day activities.
You will learn process modelling from its starting point of the cycle and identify the various phases of the BPM lifecycle.
These are the phases of the BPM lifecycle that we will be referring to in the lesson:
Process Identification
Process Architecture
Process Performance
Process Discovery
Process Analysis
Process Re-design
Process Implementation
Process Modelling and Controlling

Section 2 Lesson 1: Introduction to Essential Process Modelling1:48
This lesson is an introduction to the section. It outlines the necessary steps to completing the section in addition to an approach to the assignment at the end of the section.

At the end of this section you will be given the opportunity to complete an assignment. This assignment touches upon the essential elements that will be taught and aims to test your understanding of how and when to use the essential elements in BPMN.
Section 2 Lesson 2: Essentials of BPMN1:47
This lesson will outline what you will be learning in this section, it basically serves to notify you what to expect in this section. Since in this section we begin modelling and learning the BPMN diagrams.
Section 2 Lesson 3:The Core Structure of BPMN5:59
In this lesson we will look at the core structure of BPMN. We look at the layers of BPMN.
Then we will look at the common elements of BPMN, this being:
Processes,
Choreography and
Collaboration.
In this lesson you will also be introduced to Artifacts and what they are in relation to BPMN. The types of artifacts that you will learn in this lesson are:
Associations
Groups
Text annotations
Section 2 Lesson 4: The Essentials of BPMN4:00
In this lesson, you will be introduced to the essentials of BPMN, you will recap what events and activities are. You will also be shown how to model START and END Events in accordance with BPMN.
Section 2 Lesson 5: Branching and Merging Decisions on BPMN12:04
In this lesson, we start to get more intricate in process modelling and notation. Here you will be shown how different types of decisions are modelled using BPMN.
In this lesson you will be shown how to model:
Exclusive Decisions
Inclusive Decisions
Parallel Decisions
You will be shown this using the notation of GATEWAYS. You will be shown how the different decisions are modelled using business-like examples.
Section 2 Lesson 6: Repetition in a Process2:42
In this lesson you will learn how to model a repetition that might occur in a process. You will be able to identify repetition blocks, and model them using the appropriate notation to model repetitions.
Section 2 Lesson 7: Informational Artifacts2:41
In this lesson you will learn about informational items in process modelling, you will learn how to model information artefacts such as data, documents, files etc.
Section 2 Lesson 8: Modelling Resources3:22
In this lesson you will be introduced to resources that are used in process modelling. We know there are active and passive resources, but in the case of process modelling only one type of resources are used. In this lesson you will learn how to model these types of resources using POOLS and LANES

Section 3 Introduction to the section1:09
This is an introductory video to set the context for the Section 3: Advanced Process Modelling, of the Ultimate Business Process Modelling and Notation 2.0 Course.
Section 3 Lesson 1: Modelling Sub-Processes5:28
In this first lesson on the Advanced Process Modelling Section we look at how to model sub-processes through grouping. Here you will use an life like example and you will see how to identify and model a sub-process.
Section 3 Lesson 2: Modelling Repetition in BPMN 2.08:48
Section 3 Lesson 2 modelling repetition
In this lesson we focus on rework and repetition, in the previous section you were shown how to look out for a repetition and how to model it using the essential elements, in this section we will model more complex repetitions using a LOOP Symbol and modelling repetitions using the SUB-PROCESS we learnt in the previous lesson. You will learn how to model parallel repetitions using the notation of MULTI-INSTANCES and you will also learn how to model repetitions that are uncontrolled using the AD-HOC symbol.

Description

Business setbacks, glitches in the business, poor customer service.

What's the problem.. Poor Process Management.

Business Process Management has been around for a long time, until fairly recently we analysts have really taken a close look at it begun using them in businesses. Business Process Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) is a standardised language for modelling business processes.

In its 2.0 stage, BPMN can seem like a tedious process, with so many notations to remember and manners of modelling to memorise, just good enough to send any busy business analyst in the opposite direction.

Well not in this course.

In the Ultimate Business Process Management and Business Process Modeling and Notation 2.0 course, you will be introduced to process management and be taught the process modelling notation 2.0 standards with relatable cases.

The lectures are structured with an introduction of the basic notation modelling right through to advanced notation modelling. Each concept taught is explained using life-like examples.

Lets face it, process modelling is better understood when done, so you will have the opportunity to check your understanding of what is taught in the course on BPMN 2.0 with two assignments. These two assignments will be your gateway to understanding process modelling in great detail, we really get intricate.

You will feel a great sense of accomplishment after completing the two assignment, that I can guarantee.

As a lecturer and an advocate for student cantered learning, the focus of my lessons are on the students learning outcomes, you come first, the need for you to understand the concepts taught comes first.

If you want to join me in this course, don’t hesitate to sign up now and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

See you inside the Ultimate Business Process Management and Business Process Modeling 2.0 Course, where you will learn everything there is to know about BPMN 2.0.

Who this course is for:

A business analyst or potential business analyst
A process analyst or someone who has flow chart experience
