Live Webinar – December 2nd, 2014 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C – Free PDU
Presented by: Decision Management Solutions

The landscape of process modeling has evolved as have the best practices.

The smartest companies are using decision modeling in combination with process modeling.

The principle reason is that decisions and processes are discovered and managed in separate, yet, interrelated ways. Decision Model and Notation (DMN) is an evolution of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.0 into an even more powerful and capable tool set.

In this live webinar, Tom Debevoise (LinkedIn profile) and James Taylor (LinkedIn profile) share tips and advice from their new book, “The MicroGuide to Process and Decision Modeling in BPMN/DMN: Building More Effective Processes by Integrating Process Modeling with Decision Modeling”.

They will cover 4 key benefits of integrating BPMN and DMN:

1. Streamlined processes – By eliminating unnecessary gateways and scripting activities, the addition of Decision Modeling to Process Modeling streamlines the process.
2. Focused Discovery – The teams that own the decision are often different than the process stakeholders and separate models better engage them.
3. Improved visibility and flexibility – It’s easier to understand and change process behavior by changing the rules that are managed through decisions modeled in DMN.
4. Greater analytic agility – Analytics can generate new rule sets, better decisions, for DMN in a manner that is not possible for BPMN.
