Most business and technical stakeholders are vividly aware that in order to come up with good solutions, we need to be able to describe, understand, and communicate our organizations' business processes. Yet, despite decades of flowcharting-talk and uncounted number of Visio diagrams, we are still struggling with this challenge. Without doubt, this is a major contributor to projects that fail to deliver (e.g., cancelled, over-scheduled, or over-budgeted products of poor quality or that have only a fraction of the required functionality or functionality that nobody uses).

In the last couple of years, more and more organizations have adopted a new standard: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). By now, a de facto standard for business process modeling, BPMN enables bridging the communication gap between business and technical people by providing an effective, efficient, and flexible way to capture, model, analyze, and design business processes in a way that is easily understood by all parties.

There are no prerequisites for this course.

  • Business analysts
  • Process analysts
  • Process owners
  • Process engineers
  • Business customers/end users
  • Product owners, project managers, end users
  • Testers
  • Anybody with a desire to understand, capture, analyze, design, and/or optimize processes

  • Bridge the communication gap between business and IT, by modeling processes that can be easily understood and communicated by all stakeholders
  • Enable process collaboration and accountability, by modeling processes at levels of abstraction/details most appropriate to each stakeholder's perspective
  • Create high-level (whole-picture) models that describe an organization's end-to-end processes
  • Design and optimize processes, by progressively elaborating high-level models (descriptive level) into hierarchical and more detailed process models (analytical level)
  • Capture/design complex process-events interactions
  • Capture/design processes that separate and integrate process activities and complex business rule definitions
  • Streamline process and requirements documentation by using the same notation and syntax to capture processes at all stages of the SDLC
  • Enhance knowledge management (creating, sharing, training, reuse, etc.) by eliminating the need to duplicate and/or translate process definitions
  • Increase productivity by enabling process engineers to elaborate Analytical models into Executable models (rather than starting from scratch each time)
  • Reduce analysis paralysis, by allowing teams and business/process analysts to focus on relevant aspects of the process (through hierarchical modeling and sub-process expansion, while maintaining overall process consistency/integrity)
  • Enable scope management and prioritization, by allowing process models that are selectively elaborated (based on which aspects of the process are more important)
  • Facilitate adoption/customization of BPM/BPMN/BPMS tools
  • Enable process simulations to validate and optimize business processes (e.g., process and cycle times, costs, and resource utilization)

Business Process Modelling with BPMN Training Course in Finland

Finland is a country located in northern Europe. Helsinki is the capital and largest city of the country. The majority of the people are Finns but there is also a small Lapp population in Lapland, where the country is famous for the Northern Lights. Finland's national languages are Finnish and Swedish.

Known for its vast forests, lakes, and natural beauty, Finland is one of the world's largest producers of forest products, such as paper, pulp, and lumber. One of the world's largest sea fortresses Suomenlinna, Rovaniemi with the "White Nights", dogsled safaris and of course the Northern Lights are what makes Finland so popular for tourists. Finland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights and attracts millions of tourists during its seasons.

Finland is home to a thriving technology industry and is widely recognized as one of the world's leading technology hubs. Companies such as Nokia and Rovio (creator of the popular game Angry Birds) are based in Finland. Some of the key factors that have contributed to Finland's success in technology include; strong investment in research and development, a highly educated workforce and fundings.

Finland has a strong educational system, and is widely regarded as one of the world's most literate countries. In fact, Finland's literacy rate is one of the highest in the world, and its students consistently perform well in international tests of math and reading ability.

Also, as a pioneer in environmental sustainability, Finland is known for its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and promote clean energy. This Nordic country is also famous for its unique and distinctive cultural heritage, including its traditional folk music and its elaborate traditional costumes.
