Introduction to process simulation (briefly discussed and used when teaching the 21 Basic Work Flow Patters).Linkages to Business Process Redesign (BPR) Methodology developed at Service Canada.Relevance of Treasury Board's Primer on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and BPMN.Exercises designed to reinforce BPMN modelling theory learned.Brief introduction to process Frameworks, such as IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and APQC'S Process Classification Framework (PCF).

Discussion of how BPMN is implemented in QualiWare and integrated with other types of QLM models.

Sample process models and analysis of those models.

Business Process Work Flow Patterns (using BPMN Objects).

Explanation of the Graphical Objects in BPMN v2.0.

Why we need to document our Business Processes?.

For this workshop, the attendee should already have some experience with QualiWare or similar modelling tools. Please note that this workshop is not intended to teach all aspects of QualiWare software usage – that is done in our 2-day QLM-QEA Basic course. Topics may include developing an organizational common look & feel in producing process models, and process modeling standards/best practices, etc.

While modelling client processes is the primary focus for Day 3 other topics may be discussed based on student experience.

Typically, we will spend the first two days covering BPMN and the last full day actually doing modelling with the instructor in the room. It is to also give participants a ‘taste’ of what a process analyst/modeler may go through when diagramming a business process. The primary goal of the workshop is to explain to participants the behaviour of the objects/shapes contained within the BPMN specification v2.x and how those objects can be used to describe business process behaviour in an EA/Process Management tool like QualiWare.
