Description

Enterprise Architect Business Process Modeling provides students with a hands-on opportunity for learning how to capture business process models using the Business Process Modeling Notation 1.2 (BPMN) with Sparx Enterprise Architect (EA). Starting with an overview of EA, students will learn how to create, delete, and move model elements, draw relationships, review various tool configuration, model structuring and organization guidelines. Students begin building a fact model using UML class diagrams and then create UML actors and use cases to build a business service model. Using BPMN, students create external and internal business process diagrams using message and sequence flows and gateways. Student then create private business process diagrams using pools and lanes, sub-process and tasks, and events (start, intermediate, and end). The course finishes with students modeling business rules by refining the fact model and specifying business rules and their associated evaluation criteria. Most class time is used for students to do hands-on lab exercises following a step-by-step workbook.
