IBM Business Process Manager V7.5.1 Process Modeling and Administration

Course details

This instructor-led course teaches core process modeling skills, project development methodology, and delivery best practice patterns. Students also learn how to install, configure, and manage an IBM Business Process Manager environment.

In this course, students use the IBM Business Process Manager Process Designer component to create a business process definition (BPD) from business requirements that are identified during process analysis. The course begins with an overview of business process management (BPM) and process modeling. Students learn how to make team collaboration more efficient by enabling all team members to use standard process model elements and notation, which makes expressing and interpreting business requirements consistent throughout the BPM life cycle. The course also teaches students how to build an agile and flexible shared process model that key business stakeholders understand, developers implement, and is adjusted to accommodate process changes.

The course continues with the architecture, installation, configuration, and management of IBM Business Process Manager. Students install and configure IBM Business Process Manager, and then examine its architecture to provide contextual information for the rest of the course. Students define and manage user authentication and authorization, install snapshots to various environments, and use tools to monitor process execution and system errors.

This course uses an interactive learning environment, with hands-on demonstrations and class activities to reinforce concepts and check understanding. Lab exercises throughout the course provide hands-on experience with BPM tasks and skills. This course is designed to be collaborative, and students can work in teams to perform class activities.

The lab environment for this course uses the Windows platform.
