I recently received by email a set of questions regarding my BPMN training. Since I get similar requests on a regular basis, I see it might be good if I just posted the answers. 1. Which class or classes do I need to take to achieve your certification? I provide BPMN training through a variety [...]
Last Friday I had a run-through of my upcoming BPMN Method and Style Level 1 workshop. It was a good thing. I got some helpful feedback on the content, and I learned a few tricks of Microsoft Visio 2010 (having the Visio product manager in attendance didn’t hurt). It was a little rushed to squeeze [...]
If you’ve been wanting to learn how to add “method and style” to your BPMN modeling but not yet ready for the full BPMessentials training and certification, here’s an opportunity for you. On July 20, I’ll be conducting a 4-hour BPMN Method and Style Level 1 Workshop in a virtual classroom format, i.e., interactive delivered [...]
It’s safe to say that despite the proliferation of real BPMN tools, the majority of BPMN-like process diagrams that exist in the world have been created in Microsoft Visio. For me, Visio – by itself – was always just a “drawing” tool, not a real modeling tool. Even if you could find a BPMN stencil [...]

If you are a regular reader, or used to be, you’ve noticed I haven’t posted for a while. After a quiet Christmas season, BPMN training has suddenly exploded. I’m living in airports and hotels, it seems. Be careful what you wish for, they say. And how true. Since I had my last virtual classroom training [...]
Thanks to all of you who took my BPMN Self-Test. BPMN, today accepted as the universal process modeling standard, is outwardly familiar — it looks like traditional swimlane flowcharts — but few people really know how to use it effectively. That’s what I try to teach in my book and the BPMessentials training. The self-test [...]
I am a little surprised at the scores on my BPMN self-test. Ten questions, four diagrams each, one of which is the correct answer. The scenarios are typical from real-world processes, and most of the patterns should be used routinely in process models. A couple of questions are a little hard, but I would have [...]
I saw a link a couple days ago for a BPMN self-test, and thought I’d try it out. The test, available to anyone, is “part of a research project by Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Technische Universiteit Eindhoven on the understanding of BPMN Process Models.” It’s harmless I suppose, but – to my way of thinking, [...]
