Book Now In Stock (mea culpa)

The good news is my book BPMN Method and Style 2nd edition, with BPMN Implementer’s Guide, is now showing In Stock on Amazon.com (not yet on Amazon.co.uk, unfortunately, which says 5-8 weeks). It was available for about 2 days at the end of October, and then I found about half dozen typos I saw on close reading. I thought I would just fix right away, so that a bunch of ‘imperfect’ books would not go out. Usually this causes a 2-day hiccup on Amazon, but the printer had to fill all the initial orders before they could create their own proof of the revision (I waived the proof on my end)… and then it was another week or more before it showed up again on Amazon. So my good intentions really messed up my “launch”. Anyway, if you had a thought of buying the book but saw it Out of Stock on Amazon, your wait is over. I expect another week or two before the international sites have it.

If you are buying 15 or more books shipped to a single address, you can order the books direct from me at a 40% discount. Contact me by email, and soon I will post a link where you can order by credit card for this.

Is there a list of the typos somewhere that I can refer to? I believe I must have gotten one of the original batch of books (shipped Oct 31st).

Bruce,

Any chance that this will become an e-book on Amazon?

I really appreciate your comments and BPMN advocacy over the years.

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.
