*We know each team has their own needs and specifications. That is why we can modify the training outline per need.
Module 1: BPMN essentials and first end to end sketch
- Why BPMN and where it helps in analysis, design, and automation
- Diagram anatomy pools, lanes, activities, sequence flow
- Start, intermediate, and end events in plain language
- Sketch a simple end to end process from trigger to outcome
Module 2: Tasks, gateways, and subprocesses
- Task types user, service, script, manual at a beginner level
- Gateways exclusive, parallel, inclusive and when to use each
- Subprocesses and call activities for reuse and clarity
- Loop, multi instance, and markers for repeated work
Module 3: Data and messages
- Data objects, data stores, and documenting inputs or outputs
- Message flows between participants and collaboration diagrams
- Forms of handoff documents, systems, roles and how to show them
- Simple correlation between request and response
Module 4: Modeling quality and house style
- Naming conventions, verb noun activity labels, and lane strategy
- Diagram layout, flow direction, spacing, and alignment
- Avoiding common anti patterns spaghetti flow, gateway explosion
- Validation checks completeness, ambiguity, and test paths
Module 5: Events for real life exceptions
- Boundary events for timeouts, errors, escalation, and cancellation
- Event subprocess for global handling like interruptions
- Timers and signals for time based or broadcast situations
- Compensation at a beginner level when work must be undone
Module 6: From as is to to be
- Capture the current process with facts and evidence
- Identify waste, rework, and risks visible in the model
- Redesign with clearer handoffs and decision points
- Compare as is and to be and record assumptions
Module 7: Tool guided modeling session
- Set up the chosen tool Camunda, Bizagi, or jBPM and project files
- Use stencils, properties, and validation within the tool
- Organize diagrams into levels overview, main flows, focused details
- Export, share, and version models for feedback
Module 8: Ready for review and automation
- Prepare a review package with legend, glossary, and open questions
- Map BPMN elements to potential automation or RPA candidates
- Link requirements, controls, and KPIs to model elements
- Handover checklist file names, owners, and next iteration plan
