Course Description

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a set of notations used for creating business process of an enterprise. The objective of BPMN is to support business process management for both technical users and business users by providing a notation that is intuitive to business users yet able to represent complex process semantics. The BPMN specification also provides a mapping between the graphics of the notation to the underlying constructs of execution languages, such as Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) and Extensible Markup Language (XML).

The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a standard notation that is readily understandable by all business stakeholders. These business stakeholders include the business analysts who create and refine the processes, the technical developers responsible for implementing the processes, and the business managers who monitor and manage the processes. The key benefit of using BPMN standard lies in its rich set of notations allowing business analysts to create business processes, from simple to very complex, in a standardized manner. Hence, it serves as a common language to bridge the communication gap that frequently occurs between business users and technical audience.
