Synopsis:

The goal of this course is to acquaint students with the process management (emphasis is placed on the first part of the life cycle). Its essence is to learn how to „grasp the“ real problem, describe it through a process, map it to a specific technology and simulate its behavior. Course expands standard technological perspective of analytical, business and management approach. After completing this course a student should be able to understand Business Process Management (BPM) topics and be familiar with complex BPM life-cycle, its connection to SOA concepts and related systems. Students will know thouroughly process definition as well as analysis and modeling. Also, they will learn standard notation for process representation and possible solutions of how to model and perform basic simulations using IT tools.

Theoretical part of the course focuses on explaining the Business Process Management concepts and principles. In practically oriented labs the topics are demonstrated and exercised by an active involvement of students into the interactive simulation game INNOV8. The game leads them through all phases of BPM. In further labs they will try to analyze, model and simulate a concrete real problem on practical examples.

Study Objective:

Graduates will understand how to define a process, its analysis and modeling, will know the standard notation used to describe process and will know how to model and simulate created models by using IT tools. They also get an idea about the practical implementation and use of service-oriented architecture in relation to process management.In case of successful completion of the course graduates receive an IBM internationally recognized academic certificate.
