BPMN 2 Training: Business Process Modeling for Business Analysts [BPMN-EL]

OVERVIEW

Become a BPMN 2.0 Expert in 1 day. With this practical hands-on course you will learn proper Business Process Modelling. 

BPMN 2.0, or Business Process Model and Notation, is the standard in the field of describing and improving real-world business processes. In this training, you will not only learn the full  Level 1 palette of BPMN 2.0, but above all you will learn how to model and improve real world business processes. By means of best practices, quizes and practical case studies you will become a BPMN 2.0 expert.

Besides the BPMN Level 1 descriptive modelling palette, this training teaches you an approach to use BPMN 2.0 properly: with clear process logic, rules for consequent diagram composition and fully compliant with the BPMN 2.0 specification.

On top of that, you will learn a prescriptive methodology for going from a blank sheet to a complete and properly-structured process model.

Included in this training:

• 3+ hours virtual training
• 70+ video lectures
• hands-on assignments
• 5 quizes
• Full lifetime acces
• Mobile Friendly

OBJECTIVES
