This five-day course teaches students how to use Business Process Management (BPM) practices while using the powerful features and capabilities of WebSphere Business Modeler.

To meet the demands of a constantly changing environment, organizations need a clear understanding of how their processes work. WebSphere Business Modeler supports process improvement by capturing a comprehensive view of the way companies do business.

This course focuses on concepts and procedures involved in modifying and customizing business process models based on modeling modes. Students explore Business Process Management scoping and methodology along with project standards, participate in interactive discussion on solution modeling, and build their own models based on a business scenario. The course provides intensive training in business process modeling and analysis using simulation and distributions, to demonstrate the power of this advanced feature. It also introduces the use of project versioning, modeling solutions, and Web publishing.

Hands-on lab exercises give students the opportunity to gather requirements, set goals, and create, analyze, report, and update business process models. Students perform lab exercises in modeling using the Swimlane editor, importing from other tools like Microsoft Visio, and reviewing models on Publishing Server.
