How to Build Great Process, Rule, and Event Models

Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is an increasingly successful Object Management Group (OMG) standard and whether you are in government, manufacturing, or business, you need to understand how to accurately depict your company’s processes in BPMN. The BPMN Specification, however, can be abstract, lengthy, and complicated. As a result, learning to use BPMN can be daunting and force professionals to steer clear of it without an efficient and easy way of getting acquainted with the material.

BPMInstitute.org has been at the forefront of education and thought leadership in this area and as a benefit to our members; we are providing a free sample of one of the most recent books on BPMN: The Microguide to Process Modeling in BPMN 2.0.
