BPMN 2.0 Training

Learn from practitioners.

The Business Process Modeling Notation is the global standard for process modeling, and brings business and IT together. We show you how to successfully use BPMN, independent from specific software tools. As a member of the OMG, we are directly involved in the development of the BPMN standard and thus offer you background information at first hand. We have used BPMN in numerous projects and are able to demonstrate its strengths and weaknesses based on our experience. Our methodological BPMN framework focuses on a better business-IT alignment and is a practical guide for daily project work.

Dr. Martin Bartonitz, product manager at SAPERION: “In all chapters the authors’ profound practical experience with BPMN is obvious. This is especially true for the numerous examples and the corresponding modeling alternatives. Nothing remains unanswered and even the problems of specification are discussed.”

BPMN Inhouse Training

In an in-house training, the trainer comes to you. You can discuss in advance your starting position and coordinate the agenda of the training. In addition to the regular exercises we can also model your own processes. That usually improves the learning effect considerably.

Our BPMN training was a good mix of theory and practical examples including the analysis of our own processes. The course was well-structured with enough hands-on experiences and it conducted and catered according to our level of BPMN knowledge. The trainer is very competent and always capable of providing us the required information. Also, the training materials provided are very helpful for our subsequent reference and guidance.

In the 3-day-long training the BPMN 2.0 contents were very well conveyed by an experienced trainer using well structured training material.
The practical exercises referring to our own in-house workflows were especially helpful. Individual wishes were always considered and integrated into the training procedure. Also very helpful were the suggestions and best practices for further procedures. The training was found to be an enormous step forward, by the IT as well as by the specialist department.

The BPMN seminar by camunda was competently conducted. Besides the mere rules of the notation standard, the emphasis was on our individual requirements and questions, which helped us enormously with our approach to BPMN. After this seminar, one is able to avoid possible pitfalls and model useful as well as comprehensible BPMN 2.0 models. The transition from other methods of modeling, e.g. EPK was enabled by this seminar.

Computacenter has developed a standardized procedure model which emphasises the customer processes, based on the project approach within the Consulting Services at Computacenter in different areas (e.g. Identity Management Solutions, Web Applications, Security, etc.). In this context, the customised training by camunda about BPMN and Requirements Management with BPMN was an excellent addition. The camunda trainer was very competent and happy to include additional examples from our existing projects. The mixture between theory and practical training was well balanced and the necessary information was excellently conveyed.

The content auf the BPMN training were conveyed by a very experienced trainer. The relation between theory and practical exercises was balanced. We especially liked the examples from different practical projects. Camunda does not teach “modelling for the ivory tower” but shows very specific ways to directly apply BPMN. Our individual questions were answered competently at all times. Topics such as “BPMN and agility” and a “Short introduction to Activiti” were easily integrated additionally into the agenda.

Very content. Especially the practical examples from camunda’s consulting experience were very interesting and illustrated specific challenges of the BPMN.

The BPMN seminar offers a good and concise explanation of the tools and an illustrative depiction of their use in practice. I could apply what I’ve learned immediately in practical exercises and received a direct feedback. The learning of a BPMN software combined with a pleasant atmosphere complemented the seminar.

After an outstanding BPMN training, camunda has supported us in a workshop in developing a BPMN modelling guideline for our specialized context. This workshop has solidified and deepened our BPMN knowledge and the modelling guideline enabled us to use the BPMN in an optimal and standardized way. We experienced camunda as a very competent partner in all questions about BPMN. I can greatly recommend the approach as well as camunda.

The training about business process modelling, which was specially adapted to our desires, was very interesting and informative. It fully met our expectations. The BPMN was explained as a general standard as well as the concrete further development of BPMN 2.0. The working through our customer specific problems rounded off the vivid and efficient training and led to immediately usable insights. The training was technically and methodologically very well prepared. Many thanks!

I want to emphasize the professionalism of the training. I do not think that it is usual to inspire all participants of such a heterogeneous group in the same training. Again thank you very much!

The BPMN training gave us a good insight into the introduction of BPMN in our company. Especially in the combination of theoretical and practical examples let the training seem to be well structured, entertaining and target-oriented so that the Reutax AG is now fully able to model all processes in BPMN. The trainer is eminently competent and has even supported us on the last day to model a complex model for an important project.
We can definitely recommend the training by camunda.

Dirk Heilmann, Senior Manager
Reutax AG

The BPMN Training is a comprehensive introduction into the possibilities of BPMN. The experienced trainer was able to cope with all questions and discussions, supported by his vast practical experience. I have learned to use the full scope of BPMN. Beyond the syntax, a lot of best practises and challenges have been shown.

Dr. Klaus Schröder, Managing Consultant
S&N AG

The BPMN workshop communicates the whole notation in a very structured way. By means of perspicuous examples and exercises the numerous BPMN-symbols became intelligible. Also the differences between BPMN 1.2 and BPMN 2.0 are comprehensibly depicted. Moreover the demonstrated relevance of the symbols is very helpful for further usage. Many thanks!

Our BPMN 2.0 training has been a real success. The choice of subjects as well as the answers to our questions was very flexible and competently conveyed. The trainer was cool and had much practical knowledge; he didn’t conceal any problems and didn’t try to sell BPMN as the world formula. The documents were significant without being dull. The workshop was fun and we learned a lot for our daily work.

Ursula Gruber-Brandt, Enterprise Architecture Management
Schweizerische Mobiliar Versicherungsgesellschaft AG

The BPMN training by camunda services GmbH has been very helpful for our start into business process management. Not only did the highly competent trainer lead us to understand the theory with his outstanding didactic approach but he also gave us a valuable insight to very useful experiences with practical BPMN examples. We will gladly be using the services by camunda again in the future.

The BPMN coaching was a mix of theory, practical examples and the analysis of our own processes. We especially enjoyed the combination of the solid competence and the informal way of transferring knowledge. The coaching took us a great step ahead and now we will start introducing our new knowledge step by step. The coaching materials are very good and a useful reference.

Jan Bruch, Quality Management
TimoCom Soft- und Hardware GmbH

A great overview of the BPMN and a very useful comparison to other standards. The first hand information about the future development of the BPMN was very interesting. This information is based on camunda’s active participation in the standard committee. Due to the practical exercises we were able to develop a feeling for working with BPMN in practise.
