Process Implementation with IBM Business Process Manager 8.5.0 Training

The course begins with an overview of business process management and process modeling, emphasizing the concepts of reuse, ease of maintenance, and high-quality development strategies. You use the IBM Business Process Manager Standard V8.5 Process Designer component to create a business process definition (BPD) from business requirements that are identified during process analysis. You learn how to make team collaboration more efficient by enabling all team members to use standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) elements. BPMN elements make expressing and interpreting business requirements consistent throughout the business process management lifecycle.

The course continues with an overview of the architecture of IBM Business Process Manager V8.5, and describes the use of process applications and toolkits within the tool. You create business objects and variables, implement gateways, and enable team lanes to demonstrate process flow on your diagrams. You build customized user interfaces (coaches) to enable business and process data flows throughout the process model.

The course uses an interactive learning environment, with hands-on demonstrations and class activities to reinforce concepts and check understanding. Lab exercises are provided throughout the course, giving you hands-on experience with BPM tasks and skills. This course is intended to be collaborative, and you can work in teams to complete class activities.

• Validate that the process model meets playback 0 goals and requirements
• Identify how intermediate events are used during the execution of a business process
• Describe the architecture of IBM Business Process Manager
• Organize process assets into toolkits
• Manage variables and data flow
• Implement timer events
• Implement gateways and routing to control process flow
• Build a business data model
• Build services and user input forms (coaches)
• Create a snapshot for deployment

• Apply asset tags to organize artifacts
• Enhance coaches for a rich user experience
• Implement effective error handling in processes and services

Audience

This course is designed for project members who design and implement detailed logic, data models, and external system integrations for an executable business process definition. These roles include BPM developers, process owners, and BPM authors.

For project members that will be focusing only on the definition and modeling of the business process, the following 2 day course is more suitable.  The shorter course is better suited for BPM Analysts.

WB807G Process Modeling with IBM Business Process Manager 8.5

The 2 day process modeling course is the first 2 days of the 5 day implementation course so both can be run concurrently with a single instructor.  Business Analysts would attend the first 2 days to learn the process modeling activities they would be doing and then Developers would stick around for the last 3 days to learn the implementation.
