Today we released our completely revised and updated DMN Method and Style Basics training and certification, based on DMN 1.2 with the latest build of Trisotech DMN Modeler, including decision services, glossary, model import, and more. Price is the same, $695 including 60-day use of the tool and post-class certification. Click here to register. Here [...]
One of the most significant aspects of DMN 1.2 is the establishment of decision services as an important and useful feature of the standard. Decision services existed previously but offered little practical utility other than demarking units of execution within a DRD. Today that is just one of five distinct usage patterns for DMN decision [...]
Here we go again. We saw this eight years ago with BPMN 2.0. A revision of the standard allows tools to work 99% the same as in the previous version, but adds some new features around the edges. This causes the proprietary tool vendors to howl in unison: Not business friendly! Why can't it work [...]
Last week I presented a webinar on BPMN Modeling with Method and Style that explains what it's all about. You can see the recording by clicking here. Or click here to download the slides.
The Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard is changing the practice of decision modeling and management. Up to now, it has primarily been used to define model-based decision requirements handed off to developers for implementation in some other rule language. DMN is good for that, and actually most tools that claim to support DMN cannot [...]

My new book BPMN Quick and Easy is now available in the Kindle Textbook format. Kindle Textbook is a pdf-based (non-reflowable) format that preserves the graphics quality. It runs on Kindle for PC, tablets, and phones, but not on really old Kindle hardware. If you purchase the paperback you can get the Kindle format for [...]
Today my new book BPMN Quick and Easy Using Method and Style was published. You can get it on Amazon, and a Kindle Textbook version should follow next week. Where BPMN Method and Style 2nd Edition was a comprehensive reference, the new book is slimmed down, focusing on just the elements today's process modelers need [...]
The analysts have mostly missed what's happening with DMN and its potentially disruptive impact on Digital Transformation, but Derek Miers of MWD Advisors gets it right in his latest report, "Decision Management Drives Disruption." What's fundamentally different about the DMN standard is that the standardization and accessibility of the notation is enabling a new wave [...]
People sometimes ask me, what is Method and Style? For a quick marketing answer, you can watch this Ignite video. But if you want a concrete example, read on... Method and Style is a systematic approach to creating what I call "good BPMN"... not simply correct according to the spec, but models that fulfill BPMN's [...]
