It is a series of short lectures followed by exercises: the delegates will have a problem described in English, and will have to create a proper diagram for each problem. After that, the diagrams will be discussed and assessed by the group and the trainer. This course doesn't cover execution part of BPMN, it focuses on analysis and process design aspects of BPMN 2.0.

Business analysis is the process of examining, understanding, and defining business needs in order to develop solutions that meet those needs. Jest a key element in the process of managing changes in the organization and designing new business solutions. Business analysis aims to ensure that technological, process or organizational solutions meet business goals and needs. Jest a key element in ensuring the effectiveness of projects and changes in the organization, by ensuring that the solutions introduced are accurate, feasible and fully meet business requirements.

This course focuses on the business analyst role to be successful on Agile projects. Course participants will learn how to cooperate with the Team, Product Owner, Scrum Master as well as with the Customer to facilitate the development process. Participants will go through a mock project practising common scenarios.

A business/systems analyst solves business problems by designing information systems which execute the strategy defined by the business. These IT solutions generally achieve one of the following goals for the business: implement a new/novel business process, increase efficiency and productivity of existing business processes, or reduce operating costs of existing processes. This course is intended for those who are moving into the Business Analysis profession and who may, after any pre-requisites are met, be interested in taking the CBAP certification examination by IIBA (www.iiba.org). Who should attend?

The course covers contemporary development principles and practices, including the place of project management, testing and business analysis, within Agile and traditional Waterfall contexts. The course is intended to be workshop-style with opportunities for delegates to ask questions and explore real life application of the content. This course comprises a series of modules with each module designed to take 1.5hrs, ie 1 training day would consist of 4 modules. Intended Audience This course is aimed at those who want to gain a rapid overview of contemporary Waterfall & Agile software development and the impact on project management, testing and business analysis.

Objective: Delegates be able to analyse big data sets, extract patterns, choose the right variable impacting the results so that a new model is forecasted with predictive results.

There are plenty of tried and tested patterns widely available to everyone. Sometimes it is a matter of changing the names and implementing the pattern in a specific technology. It can save hundreds of hours, which otherwise would be spent on design and testing. Training Goals This course has two goals: first, it allows you to reuse widely-known patterns, second, it allows you to create and reuse patterns specific to your organization. It helps you to estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers as well as operational managers and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization.

Objective: Helping Technical Analysts and Designers to understand how to go through software implementation of the requirements, ensuring traceability between business specifications and the software code. This 2 day training course aims at assisting technical analysts and designers in designing specifications described by the business analysts. After transformation into software component representations, the resulting system components trace system requirements toward software component structures. Finally, these technical specifications are implemented in software code and tested upon component basis. The resulting software components provide good level of reactivity to changes as they allow to trace separately toward the implementation level the system behaviours layer by layer (from the user interfaces toward business objects layer through the application components where the usage choices of the actors are stored.

Process mining, or Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a technique that applies algorithms to event logs for the purpose of analyzing business processes. Process mining goes beyond data storage and data analysis; it bridges data with processes and provides insights into the trends and patterns that affect process efficiency.  Format of the Course

• The course starts with an overview of the most commonly used techniques for process mining. We discuss the various process discovery algorithms and tools used for discovering and modeling processes based on raw event data. Real-life case studies are examined and data sets are analyzed using the ProM open-source framework.

This training course aims at helping business analysts to learn to model efficiently their business processes using BPMN as well as resources that are handled by their activities. Being conducted by an agile enterprise framework, business analysts learn during this course how to use appropriate BPMN notations and business extensions of UML in order to deal with their "business requirements" and coherently drive underlying design level activities.

Course Audience: Managers who want to understand BPMN diagrams, Business Consultants, Business Analysts, Business Process Engineers, System Analysts and anyone who is involved in analyzing and planning Business Processes using standardized, unified modelling notation. Course Goals:

• Produce high-quality process diagrams
• Model in the BPMN process notation
• Capture as-is process information
• Implement optimized process flows for people-intensive processes
• Simplify complex process definitions and break them into more manageable pieces

The course aims at teaching the practical knowledge and learning BPMN modeling skills at the Intermediate and Advanced levels. The ideal participant is a business analyst training, meaning the person discovering, identifying, gathering and analyzing user requirements to the system. - The advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in the prospect of creating business processes, system and custom drivers. The course does not address issues Executable BPMN level. Training is conducted in much the dominant technique in the form of a computer (~ 90%), during which the one hand, we translate real business situations for BPD, on the other hand ready to interpret diagrams assessing their practical utility. The course is very intensive practical course in the strict sense, the training did not deal with in any way, theoretical considerations of BPMN.
