About This Training Course

The goals of this Business Process Modelling using UML Training Course, Business Process Modelling are to.


• Understand the organisation's current goals, strategies and business environment
• Define the future business processes required to support these goals and strategies
• Formulate an improvement proposal which defines how the organisation can transition to these future business processes
• Provide a seamless path for the implementation of systems identified as part of the improvement proposal

The approach taken in this Business Process Modelling using UML Training Course is to first identify the organisation's Business Strategy. A model of the current business processes is then developed through a series of interviews and workshops. This model identifies the organisation's business events and key business processes. The current business processes are then analysed and decomposing into a series of process threads represented as UML activity diagrams. The analysis is used to explore opportunities for improving the processes. A Target Business Model is then developed which acts as the business blueprint for organisational change. Improvement projects progressively transition the business to the Target Business Model.
