2.02 (December of 2013) and is the most used international standard for business process modeling. The OMG had previously developed an extension of the UML Activity Diagram to define business processes, but this prefers BPMN as it is considered simpler and more intuitive for all stakeholder, as well as being more useful in the web environment.Īt the time of writing this article, the BPMN is at v. (OMG) which is a consortium of suppliers, users and government agencies founded in 1989 to develop standards for the world of object-oriented software. In 2005, BPMI joined the Object Management Group, Inc. In 2002, a group of software companies and consultants formed the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI) with the aim, among others, to create a notation to specify the organization’s business processes: the first version of the B usiness Process Model and Notation (BPMN) was born. Over the years, more initiatives have been taken to set a standard for model business processes.
In this article I would like to give you a brief introduction to this notation, but, at the end of the I would suggest some books, free courses and tools that can allow you to deepen the standard, and if you think it is useful, start using it too, in your business process change projects. Over the years, there have been several initiatives to propose a standard notation to model business processes, the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), which I use in my projects, is the most used. The process model is a useful tool, on the one hand, to compare myself with the business people of the customer organization and understand the requirements, and, on the other hand, with my colleagues to whom I have to provide the technical/functional specifications to configure the automated solution. In my professional experience, as business process analyst and project manager of quality process automation projects, it is an activity that I usually conduct in the analysis and design phase for to-be scenario. This can happen, for example, as a result of unsatisfactory performance evidence or because changes to the process are required to meet new needs for the organization. Building a business process model, a graphical representation of the process, is an activity that is typically realized as part of a business process change project that aims to make improvements on an existing organizational process.
