BPMN (or 'Business Process Model and Notation', to give it its full name) is often cited by its advocates as the de facto standard for process modelling - but what exactly is it, and why do some business analysts rave about it? What can it do for me? Is it a silver bullet?

In this session, Stu Mullinger will explain why he's such a fan of the BPMN modelling language and how it helps him in his business analysis work. Stu will explore:

  • What BPMN is, and where it comes from
  • Why the standard is so powerful for modelling business processes
  • How BPMN models support requirements definition and process improvement initiatives
  • Key considerations when using BPMN
  • When you might want to use a different approach or format
  • Where to go to find out more

He'll share his experiences and take your questions about the BPMN standard and using it in practice.
