Get BPMN Method and Style First… for Free

The book should show up on Amazon in the next couple days, but probably not orderable until Ingram (the distributor) gets it set up, which takes up to 4 weeks. But you can be first in line to get the book, and I’ll give it to you personally… for free! All you need to do is sign up for my 2-day class at BPM Institute in San Francisco July 1-2. Here’s all the info you need on that. Hope to see you there!

Hi Bruce- I took your BPMN course last year and will be getting your book any day, I see it on Amazon now. I was wondering though, is there a possibility something could change in the 2.0 spec that would cause a discrepancy with your book or is the May 22 2009 revised draft likely not to change much? Thanks, Jeff

Thanks Jeff. Well, anything can happen. It might not even pass on June 22, although I would be greatly surprised. I expect the changes in the FTF period to be mostly in the area of minor inconsistencies between the XSD and the metamodel (UML), details of executable BPMN, and graphics interchange. None of those would affect the book, which is really focused on the information in the diagram itself and how it is used to define non-executable models.

I figured as much. Look forward to checking out your book. Hopefully BizAgi will get the 2.0 changes into their next release, then I’ll be all set. I’m assuming they will considering they are listed as co-authors. Thanks!

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!”

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.
