Mastering Workflow

Introduction

Workflow is the detailed execution of a business process, during which documents, information or tasks are passed from one participant to another for action, according to a set of procedural rules.

Workflow Management is an essential component of business improvement initiative such as corporate re-engineering, business systems developments, e-commerce, e-government, quality management, compliance and business process improvement and management.

In this training course, the participants will acquire the knowledge and skills to discover, define, and manage process workflow.

Participants will learn the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) method of workflow diagramming and modelling. This method is an open modelling standard that can be used to document workflow across a wide variety of industries. It can easily be understood by both business and technical people and is used by a number of leading workflow and modelling automation tools.

The training course also provides a set of workflow design principles and measurement techniques that can be used to improve and manage workflow performance.
