Course Description
This course will get you from zero to hero in BPMN 2.0. I will teach you how to apply all the fundamental BPMN elements with the help of processes from exiting business use cases.
We will take a look at:
An industrial production processes of a private space ship manufacturer
The compliance procedures of a holiday visa application to an island
A digital transformation process in the health & beauty industry.
A process of manual tasks applied as work instruction in the retail industry
And many more
Each of these real life scenarios will then be concluded by an exercise that enables you to try out the freshly learned BPMN elements yourself.
For this we use a free, lightweight and very user friendly BPMN web modeler that also allows you to share your process models.
Of course, before every exercise and practical, real business use case I will introduce you every new BPMN element through a brief theory parts. In these theory parts you will learn about the following BPMN Elements
Tasks
Sequence Flows
Pools & Lanes
Exclusive Gateway
Parallel Gateway
Inclusive Gateway
Event Based Gateway
Start and End Event
Message Event
Timer Event
Conditional Event
Link Event
Attached Events
Collapsed Pools
Sub Processes
Call Activities
Data Object
Data Store
All of these elements will the be applied to a practical real business process.

very interesting and clear. Study theory across practical cases, that's what I like in this course. Thanks a lot!

Each concept was presented clearly with examples. Then the student is able to incorporate the concept into an exercise. The instructor clearly outlines pitfalls. Including best practices offers confidence.

Este curso me ayudó a aterrizar BPMN 2.0 y usarlo de forma práctica para entender y dibujar procesos sin enredarme. Aprendí a hacer diagramas claros, a ver mejor cómo fluyen los procesos y a explicarlos fácilmente tanto a gente técnica como de negocio, usando buenas prácticas en casos reales.

A very nicely structured course. Gives a clear understanding of various BPMN elements and concepts and explains how to use them. Makes you try them on your own by giving you challenges to solve. Thank you.

This is how courses should be: well explained, with simple examples, visual aids, and practice exercises. Now all that's left is to put it into practice in real life and continue researching the topic.

Course was well-structured. No frills. Great resources too, crismo.io is very user-friendly and does the job well. Thanks so much.

Format is great, short 1-3 minute videos followed by practice problems. Even if you don't have much time at once you can get some progress in before you sit down to do the exercise. Why one star less? Typos everywhere - just makes it feel less professional and more halfhearted, also missing clarifications, eg no need for closing xor gateway if the branches converge on a task before the next element, if closing gateway is used (parallel or exclusive) number of arrows out should be equal to number of arrows into the closing gateway, etc. just basic stuff that threw me off when i was doing some exercises and questioning my sanity because intuitively I really did not need a gateway or in other cases i really needed one. Overall very much worth it, but typos in general and some shortcuts on the diagrams that let him get away with a simpler version that no longer accurately reflected the process (eg combining 2 tasks into one when one of them would have required branching and just implicitly acting like it is always successful together with the 2nd task) made it feel like it was thrown together in a hurry.

Great detailed course with multiple practical cases to learn how to use BPMN. Good resources provided too. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn BPMN.
