As posted before I am working as a business analist at my current assignment. I am using BPMN to create diagrams to describe the business processes at my client’s company. Because I wasn’t familiair with BPMN, I looked around to find the best way to master this technique. Besides a lot of basic articles I ran into two interesting sites, both have to do with Bruce Silver.
First there is this site at which you can register for his BPMN course in different formats.
Besides the training of Bruce I also found these articles he wrote. This will give you a basic idea about the theory you can expect in the training, but of course you are missing the hands-on exercises and other stuff that’s in the training.
I haven’t finished the training yet but until now (I am half way) I like it very much and I have learned much more then I would by just reading books (it’s also more expensive then a few books so that’s fair :-)).
The final thing I want to mention about Bruce is his blog with interesting posts about BPMN. Now that is enough advertisement for Bruce.
Of course, mastering BPMN alone will not make you a good business analyst. On the other hand, making sure your BPMN diagrams don’t violate the BPMN rules, won’t make you a worse business analyst neither!
