Business Automation Training and Certification

Overview

This Method and Style course shows how to create Low-Code executable Business Automation services without programming. Business Automation, also known as Digital Transformation, is a crucial initiative for businesses today, and Low-Code – solutions based on models rather than program code – is one of the hottest topics in application development. While many Low-Code Business Automation platforms use proprietary modeling languages, this course will teach you how to achieve automation entirely with standards: DMN for business logic and BPMN for process logic using the Trisotech Digital Modeling Suite.

Unlike the Method and Style BPMN training, which covers non-executable models for process documentation and improvement, this course delves into creating executable BPMN models, which have – until now – always required programming. However, Trisotech has incorporated Low-Code features from DMN – such as boxed expressions and the expression language FEEL – to enable Low-Code executable BPMN. In this course, you will learn how to create executable workflow processes and self-contained pageflow apps using a model-based approach.

Training Delivery and Certification

The primary delivery format for Business Automation Method and Style training is self-paced web/on-demand, using videos with accompanying exercises using components of Trisotech’s Digital Enterprise Suite, a cloud/browser-based platform. This format provides full Business Automation training based on the proven Method and Style approach, complete with individualized post-class certification.

Key Learning Objectives

In this course, you will learn four critical aspects of Low-Code Business Automation:

Key Patterns of Low-Code Business Automation: Understand the basic methodology for implementing each pattern.
DMN Decision Services: Learn to create all modeler-defined business logic within Low-Code Business Automation using DMN.
Executable BPMN Design: Gain detailed knowledge of executable BPMN design, focusing on the configuration of five BPMN task types – Decision tasks, Service tasks, User tasks, Script tasks, and Call Activities – and their integration with process variables using FEEL and boxed expressions.
Testing and Production Deployment: Explore how to test and deploy Business Automation services and pageflow apps in the Trisotech Cloud.

Intended Audience

This course is designed for what Microsoft calls software “makers” – product owners, technically inclined business users, business analysts, architects, and developers – who are eager to learn a Low-Code model-based standard-based approach that significantly reduces time-to-value. If you can create reasonably complex Excel spreadsheets using the Formulas ribbon, you qualify as a “maker.” While no programming knowledge or experience is required, familiarity with DMN, including BKMs, contexts, and FEEL, is essential. If you are new to DMN, it is recommended that you first take the Method and Style DMN training. An attractive bundle of DMN and Business Automation training is available at a significantly reduced price. By the end of the course, you will be a fully qualified Business Automation professional.

Jump-Start Your Digital Transformation

The combination of BPMN and DMN enables Business Automation based on Low-Code - diagrams and tables, not programming. We provide training, consulting and mentoring to jump-start your digital transformation efforts.

Professionalize Your Business Modeling

Companies waste enormous resources on creating models that cannot be understood by all stakeholders in business and IT. It doesn’t have to be that way. Methodandstyle.com helps you professionalize your business modeling with training, learning resources, news and commentary.

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?

While the various business modeling standards provide the foundational vocabulary and structures used for documenting and analyzing process diagrams (BPMN), decision models (DMN), and case management frameworks (CMMN), they do not offer specific methodologies for effective use. Method and Style fills this gap by introducing standardized techniques and rules that help practitioners present complex logic and flows in a way that is easy to understand and implement, enhancing both communication and precision in business analysis.
