Synopsis

Authored by members of WfMC, OMG and other key participants in the development of BPMN 2.0, the BPMN 2.0 Handbook brings together industry thought-leaders and international experts in this space. Exclusive and unique contributions examine a variety of aspects that start with an introduction of what’s new in BPMN 2.0, and look closely at interchange, analytics, conformance, optimization, simulation and more from a technical perspective. The authors also address the business imperative for adoption of the standard by examining best practice guidelines, BPMN business strategy and the human interface including real-life case studies. Other critical chapters tackle the practical aspects of making a BPMN model executable and the basic timeline analysis of a BPMN model. This book is for business people who want to understand the how and why of BPMN 2.0 in simple non-jargon terms and the strategy and motivation for its adoption within the corporation. It is also for the technical practitioner seeking current insights into the BPMN 2.0 standard and how to take advantage of its powerful capabilities.

About this title

Review

Finalization of the BPMN 2.0 standard in OMG marks a major milestone in the evolution of business process modeling. We now have a tool-independent graphical process definition language that is widely adopted by both business and IT for purposes ranging from basic process documentation to detailed performance analysis, requirements specification, and executable design. While the notation on the diagram surface seems little changed from BPMN 1.2, under the covers there is much that is new: a formal UML metamodel, more precisely defined operational semantics, and an XML Schema and conformance classes supporting model interchange. As such it represents something new for a broad spectrum of process modelers, from business process analysts and architects to BPM academics to process automation engine designers.

The BPMN 2.0 Handbook illustrates this diversity of interest in the new standard. In addition to discussion of BPMN 2.0 s technical features, we have examples of its application in business and government, its relation to SOA and process execution, and its suitability as a business-readable communication tool. We also have many suggestions for how BPMN could be extended, improved, or enhanced to meet the broader goals of business process management.....

As BPMN 2.0 tools are only beginning to enter the marketplace, this Handbook is not the last word on BPMN 2.0, but the start of a long and lively discussion.
