PM-102 : Introduction to Process Modeling
Course Dates
Course Description
This two-day course provides a hands-on introduction to an approach that looks at the seven views required to understand processes fully. This includes looking at the reasons why process modeling is so important and the benefits that can be provided by an effective process engineering activity. The essential ‘seven views’ are introduced and discussed, along with numerous examples that provide the rationale and evidence of the importance of such views.
The course also looks at the crucial question of modeling notations for process modeling and includes discussion on the use and application of BPMN, UML, text and flow charts.
Once the processes have been fully modeled, the deployment and management of the processes in the business are discussed along with related issues, such as the relationship between process modeling and Enterprise Architecture and the use of tools.
