At the BPMN Workshop in Lucerne two weeks ago I presented a talk called “Fulfilling the Promises of BPMN 2.0.” The basic point was that the BPMN 2.0 specification by itself is insufficient to deliver on the standard’s two most fundamental promises: first, as a semantically precise process notation, that the meaning of the depicted [...]

The good news is my book BPMN Method and Style 2nd edition, with BPMN Implementer’s Guide, is now showing In Stock on Amazon.com (not yet on Amazon.co.uk, unfortunately, which says 5-8 weeks). It was available for about 2 days at the end of October, and then I found about half dozen typos I saw on [...]
I was expecting more feedback on my Executable BPMN 2.0 post. I did get a thoughtful and amusing rant from Alex Pavlov. He dismisses the whole idea of executable BPMN 2.0 as a cynical ploy by the middleware vendors that created it. Besides making some good points on the possibility of executable BPMN 2.0, he [...]
About 99% of the effort in drafting the BPMN 2.0 standard, and 95% of the bad rap it has received, relates to “executable” BPMN 2.0 models. It’s been over a year since publication of the final spec, and it seems that executable BPMN 2.0 tools don’t really exist yet. I hope I’m wrong. For years [...]
The questions of BPM vs Case Management, process vs case, and – almost too horrible for some Case people to contemplate – BPMN extensions for case management – are getting all frothy again. Here is my take on the topic. 1. The question is BPM part of case management, or is case management part of [...]

My BPMN training includes post-class certification. It’s optional, and not everyone who tries for it gets it. For the first few years we offered it, only 10-15% of students got certified. Now it’s well over half, and in some classes close to 100%. I actually think it’s the most valuable part of the offering, and [...]
Visio Premium’s BPMN template is a drawing tool for BPMN diagrams, not a true modeling tool that internally understands the BPMN metamodel. It does provide a validation feature that uses Visio 2010′s new Validation API to check the diagram against the rules of the BPMN 1.2 spec, and that is helpful. But deep down, the [...]
