BPMN 2.0 Foundation & Practitioner eLearning - $356

Learning Objectives

This BPMN online course has been designed & written by leading BPMN training expert Bruce Silver to teach you everything you need to know to create precise BPMN process models that can be clearly understood and adopted by everyone in your organization.

In this module, you will get an overview of the course, the key objectives, and the Orbus modeling tool that you will use with the language.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you'll learn about what BPMN is, the ways in which it is similar to and different from traditional flowcharts, and why understanding the graphical notation has become a critical skill required for almost everything in Business Process Modeling (BPM).

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn how to use the Orbus BPMN 2 Template to create simple diagrams that include tasks, gateways, and multiple end states.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn about pools, lanes, activity types, and the important role that sub-processes play in hierarchical models.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn about the different processes essential to creating complete process models. These include collaboration, the message flows which indicate interactions between processes and external entities (such as customers), service providers, and more.

In addition, you will learn about the rest of the shapes and symbols in the BPMN Level 1 palette.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will come to understand the precise meaning of the language’s most fundamental concepts and why they are critical to creating properly structured models.

You will apply them in the first two steps of the method: ‘Scoping the Process’ and the ‘High-Level Map’.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will translate the High-Level Map into a top-level diagram. You will then expand each High-Level Map activity in a separate child-level diagram.

You will also learn how to add message flows to the model, replicating the collaboration from child to parent level.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn the basic elements of BPMN Style, which are applicable to Level 1 process models.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn about the various ways in which BPMN uses intermediate events, the important events you need to learn, and how to use the first of the ‘Big 3’ event types: ‘Timer’.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn about sending and receiving messages and the proper use of Message events.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn how to use the ‘Error’ event. You will also come to understand event sub-processes and the other Level 2 event types.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn more about branching and merging with gateways and conditional sequence flows.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn how to use loop and multi-instance activities, along with multi-pool structures, to describe iterative behavior in BPMN.

Learning Objectives

In this module, you will learn about the BPMN metamodel, XML, rules, and the importance of model validation. You will also receive suggestions for further learning.

BPMN is a language for business process modeling. It is used to map out businesses processes for the sake of providing clarity and perspective to decision makers. More information can be found here.

BPMN provides users with a language for creating graphical representations of business practices, process flows, and so on. These maps are made up of 'pools' and 'swimlanes' that cover different elements.

With this perspective, decision makers find it easier to align business and IT, improve efficiency, and make long-term plans.

The clarity and perspective offered by BPMN makes it easier for managers and stakeholders to align business and IT, improve efficiency, adapt quickly, and ensure clear communication.

BPMN is also highly adaptive and can continue to be used as a business evolves and incorporates new elements. More information can be found here

Consultants and business process managers can earn between $53,000 and $123,000 according to Payscale (or between £26,000 and £82,000)

Business process modeling is all about perspective: ensuring that decision makers and stakeholders have a clear view of how the business works and how different elements interact. This is an essential part of optimizing efficiency and collaboration, which can help businesses to save time and money while enjoying highert ROIs.

BPMN Foundation and Practitioner does not have an exam. Any student who finishes the course will receive an official certificate of completion.

Yes, this course requires a desktop version of Microsoft Visio to follow the course instructions. Please note, Microsoft Visio for the web has limited functions.

The BPMN language is flexible enough to be used by organizations of virtually any size, industry, sector, or location.

BPMN can be used to create models of varying complexity in order to suit different audiences. Each model will still use the same terminology, however, ensuring that they can always be understood by practitioners.
