Objectives of the labs
 Provide a practical feeling of the main aspects
tackled during the course.

 Discuss exercises and concrete projects on


business process modeling, automation and
execution.

 Deploy and simulate BPMN processes through


a real BPM system, called Bizagi Suite.

3
What is a business process?
 Business Process: a set of activities performed in
coordination in a technical environment. These activities
jointly realize a business goal.

 To manage business processes, they have to be described


and documented in terms of process models.

 A notation for process modeling defines the symbols for


the various process elements, their correct meaning as
well as their possible combinations.
 Thus, a notation is a standardized language for the description
of business processes.

4
Why BPMN?
 BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) is the OMG standard
for representing business processes (nowadays BPMN 2.0).
 “The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a notation that is readily
understandable by all business users, from the business analysts that
create the initial draft of the processes, to the technical developers responsible
for implementing the technology that will perform these processes, and finally
to the business people who will manage those processes.” [BPMN 2.0 spec.]
 Supported by several tools:
 http://www.bpmn.org/ lists over 70 tools.
 Both for business process design and process implementation.
A first concrete BPMN process model
 A BPMN Process Model consists of a set of activities and
execution constraints between them, criteria to indicate
the start and termination of the process, and information
about each activity, such as participants, associated IT
applications and data, etc.
 Process models focus on the process structure rather
than on technical aspects of their realization.

6
Business Process Management System
 A BPMS is a generic software system that is driven by
explicit process representations (process models) to
coordinate the enactment of business processes.

Participants are provided

General Architecture of a BPMS
It allows to design, simulate and
evaluate business processes.
It is responsible to create, control
and execute process instances and
to allocate work-items to process
participants. It also records specific
logs of the process execution.

It includes features for the It provides to the process


addition/removal of resources participants an interface to
at run-time, the monitoring of select and execute tasks.
the status of ongoing process
instances, etc.

Bizagi BPM Suite
Offical Tool for the labs
 Bizagi BPM Suite is a BPMS that handles the complete life
cycle of a business process: Model, Build and Execute.

9
Downloading and Installing the
Bizagi BPM suite
 To setup and install the Bizagi Suite you have to download
separately Bizagi Modeler and Bizagi Studio.
 Bizagi Modeler is a freeware application to graphically diagram, document
and simulate conceptual process models in BPMN.
 Bizagi Studio is a freeware BPM tool that allows organizations to build
(automate) conceptual business processes, in preparation for process
execution.

 You can download the tools at: http://www.bizagi.com/en/products


 To use the tools is required to create a personal account on the
Bizagi web site.
 The tools are only available to be installed on a 64-bit based
Windows environment.
 However, you can instead use a virtual machine with Windows OS on your
MAC/Linux platform to run your BPMN projects.
