bpmnPRO is an eLearning app that provides pre-certification practice for the BPMessentials BPMN Method and Style training or can serve as standalone BPMN training. Taking a gamification approach, bpmnPRO has no lecture or formal “teaching” of any sort. It’s 100% exercises – quizzes and puzzles. Patterned a bit after Duolingo, a popular iPad app for learning foreign languages using a gamification approach, bpmnPRO supports “learning by making mistakes.” If you miss a question, no problem. bpmnPRO tells you the right answer, and you go on.

bpmnPRO works either with or without formal BPMN training. You really don’t need any BPMN knowledge to start, just a bit of common sense. Often the same question is asked multiple ways: What does this diagram mean? Choose the diagram that models this scenario. Which of the following diagrams are correct? Drag the puzzle tiles to diagram this scenario… In the end, you will learn BPMN. And not just the meaning of the shapes and symbols as defined by the BPMN 2.0 spec, but the Method and Style principles as well, conventions that ensure that the process logic is clearly expressed in the printed diagram alone.

You’ll progress through 10 levels, most of which include 3 lessons. Each lesson contains 16 exercises, and you can miss up to 3 and keep going; more than that you need to re-do the lesson. Level 10 is The BPMN Game, a selection of the hardest exercises from the preceding levels. You’ll accumulate points as you level up – the points for a question go down if you are re-doing a lesson. bpmnPRO is hosted on Scormcloud, a leading Learning Management System (LMS). Using the Previous and Next buttons on the LMS page you can skip ahead or go back. It’s a great way to learn BPMN Method and Style or to practice for the certification exam.

What Is BPMN?

BPMN 2.0 is the industry standard for business process modeling, defining the flow of activities comprising an end-to-end business process. It is a common language shared by business and IT users, in uses ranging from documentation to process analysis and improvement to execution on an automation engine.

What Is DMN?

DMN is the industry standard for business decision modeling and execution without programming. A DMN model defines the structure of a business decision end-to-end and details the decision logic entirely in diagrams and tables... no programming required.

What Is Low-Code Business Automation?

By combining BPMN and DMN, you can create executable processes and pageflow apps without programming... entirely based on standards.

What Is Method and Style?

The BPMN standard defines a vocabulary of shapes and symbols that is widely used for documenting and analyzing business processes, but does not provide any methodology or guidance for using the language effectively. Method and Style applies additional conventions and methods on top of the BPMN specification to ensure that the process logic is revealed clearly and completely from the printed diagram.

“I learned a lot doing this exercise and I iterated many times before I liked it enough to send to you. I referenced the class materials many times while doing the exercise… I bought the 2nd Edition of your book, so now I have both editions. I think I’ve read them cover to cover at least 5 times, and I learn something new every time. It is definitely my BPMN bible!”

Susan Hollingsworth, Merrill Corporation

Thank you for the wonderful BPMN course. I am more excited than ever about how BPMN can bring the business and IT sides together and how it is instrumental in merging business process best practices together with technology.

Matt Lindholm, PDI Ninth House

I am really very glad having accomplished the certification and also very thankful for the insight gained during the 3 days of the course training. Really appreciate the course contents and the effectiveness, looking forward to recommend it to all BPM-ers I know! Thanks again for the extensive coaching and support through the journey.

The class was extremely helpful for me, as was BPMNPro. I’m already mentoring team members that are doing process modeling with BPMN. Your approach to adding the Method and Style on top of the BPMN specification makes a huge difference in making the diagrams consistent and meaningful. I’ve bought fifteen copies of the BPMN Method and Style book for our team and they’ve already been a big help.
