Business Process Modeling A-Z™: Learn BPMN 2.0 From Scratch

Learn how the Udemy review system operates and how your five-star rating and feedback can improve this course, guiding future students through the tutorials and datasets.

Explore BPMN core elements—activities, gateways, sequence flow, and events—by modeling a simplified Amazon purchase flow from start to end while applying proper naming and connection conventions.

Explore how the xor gateway in BPMN 2.0 acts as an exclusive split or join, routing a single path by conditions, illustrated by pizza toppings, color surveys, and book publishing.

Explore how the end gateway in BPMN creates and synchronizes flows. It acts as a split that activates all branches and as a join that waits for all to finish.

The or gateway in bpmn lets one or more parallel paths run and join when active branches finish, using or split and or join with a default sequence flow.

Master how to download lecture resources, including XML and PNG model versions, by navigating the view resources tab and selecting the file to start the download.

Explore BPMN 2.0 information artifacts, including data objects and data stores, and learn how data input, data output, and collections model information flow and persistence.

Learn how to model a purchase order workflow using information artifacts, data objects and a warehouse database to update orders and, when approved, generate an invoice and a shipment notice.

Explore pools, lanes, and text annotations in BPMN 2.0. Use an insurance claim workflow to model organizational roles, internal departments, and clarifying annotations.

Explore how message flow models information transfer between pools in BPMN, illustrating cross-pool communication and the choice between white box and black box views.

Learn how subprocesses in BPMN simplify large business process models, improve readability, and align subprocess outcomes with the main process through shared gateways and events.

Learn how the activity loop in BPMN 2.0 repeats tasks or subprocesses using a completion condition, with examples from interviews and book publishing, including a decision activity.

Discover how multi-instance activity executes an element multiple times concurrently using data collection, sub-processes, and pools, illustrated by an insurance claim example.

Learn about ad hoc sub processes in BPMN, where activities may run in any order and any number of times, indicated by a small symbol in early model development.

Explore BPMN events, focusing on message events across start, intermediate catching and throwing, and end categories, with symbols and when to use them in cross-pool processes.

Explore timer events in BPMN 2.0, distinguishing start timer events from intermediate catching timer events, and see practical examples of timed triggers for conference prep, daily schedules, and coffee breaks.

Event-driven gateways in BPMN let you wait for events before deciding which path to take, such as order responses, errors, or timers.

Learn how to match choices across pools in BPMN 2.0, using data transfers and event driven XOR splits, as the quote is accepted or rejected.
