Implementing with IBM Business Process Manager
Description
This 3-day, instructor-led course teaches project development methodology, implementation fundamentals, and delivery best practice patterns that improve the speed and quality of process implementation efforts.
In this course, students use the Process Designer component of IBM Business Process Manager to implement a business process definition (BPD) created from business requirements that are identified during process analysis. The course begins with an overview of the architecture of IBM Business Process Manager, and explains the use of process applications and toolkits within the tool. Students create variables, implement gateways, and enable swim lanes to demonstrate process flow on their diagrams. Students also build customized Web 2.0 user interfaces (Coaches) to enable business and process data flow throughout a process model.
The concepts of reuse, ease of maintenance, and utilizing best practices are emphasized throughout the course. Students learn how to work within the parameters of the BPM life cycle methodology to maximize the functionality of IBM Business Process Manager and project development best practices. These practices include meeting the target playback goal and validating model functionality.
This course is designed for all users who have purchased any of the IBM Business Process Manager software packages, including the basic, standard, and advanced packages.
The course utilizes an interactive learning environment, with hands-on demonstrations, class activities to reinforce concepts and check understanding, and lab exercises embedded in each of the course units. These exercises enable hands-on experience with BPM tasks and skills. The course is designed to be collaborative, and students can work in teams to perform class activities.
Note: Students enrolled in instructor-led online course Implementing with IBM Business Process Manager (Remote Classroom) (VB732) should have a high-fidelity stereo PC headset with a noise-canceling microphone.
