Sparx Enterprise Architect Tool and BPMN Modelling Training

Sparx Enterprise Architect Tool and BPMN Modelling

Introduction

Sparx Enterprise Architect is a multi-user, graphical tool designed for full life cycle modelling from high-level specifications to analysis, design, implementation, test and maintenance models. It complements UML 2.5 with BPMN support and extension elements for analysis, requirements management and process management.

Process modelling is a foundational skill required for the implementation of a complete Business Process Management capability. The methodology and notation used when documenting business processes are extremely important for standardisation. With a standard process modelling methodology and notation, such as BLMN, process objects can be reused, models can be read and understood across business units and process modellers can work across modelling projects without restraint.

Course Description

This 4-day course provides instruction on how to best use the Sparx Enterprise Architect tool and teaches delegates how to create business process models using BPMN in the tool. During the course, foundational process modelling concepts are explained and applied in real world examples and assignments.

Upon completion of this course, delegates will be able to create BPMN process models that capture the various scenarios of business processes in a way that can be understood by the stakeholders.

This course ideal for teams who have just adopted Sparx Enterprise Architect and need to learn how to use the tool for process modelling.
