In the last couple of years, more and more organizations have switched to Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) as their preferred (often, the standard) way to capture, model, and analyze business processes.

There are several reasons for this trend:

• Simple notation: easy to learn and communicate with all stakeholders, on both the business and the technical sides
• Flexible: 3 levels of abstraction that allow modeling simple high-level processes (Descriptive level), analysis and optimization (Analytic level), and specifying complex processes for IT implementation and/or execution (Execution level)
• Showing the whole-picture + hierarchal structure: allows abstraction at high-levels and elaboration into further details, without losing the relationships between different process components
• Efficiency/reuse: projects and analysts reuse/elaborate same models as more details are added throughout the Solution/System Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
• Widely adopted standard: common set of conventions and symbols, with no need to (re)invent the wheel
• Wide adoption by tool providers: virtually all major vendors, commercial or open-source, have adopted BPMN

In this seminar we will introduce core concepts and principles of Business Process Management (BPM) and BPMN and demonstrate how this knowledge will significantly improve Business Analysts’ ability to elicit/capture, analyze, manage, and communicate business and solution requirements.

Whether you’re a Business Analyst or in IT strategy, this webinar will illustrate how easy it is to model and automate business processes with modern BPM tools in the travel industry.

If you are talking to an airline, a baggage handler, a bookings agency or anyone in between, they all have one thing in common. They are dealing with complex business processes that often need to combine rules, events, resource planning, and processes.

Take a deep look into a sample solution for this industry, simulating a travel agency booking system with:

• Service integration;
• Multiple tasks;
• Complex BPM elements; and …
• Rule-based fraud detection for payment processing;

VDC Research analyst Andre Girard (LinkedIn profile) will describe the market drivers for modern requirements management and explain why your organization is in peril if it maintains the status quo.

Andre will discuss how modern requirements management tools can dramatically improve delivery times, slash product line complexity and enhance communication across all players in the product ecosystem.

Embedded market companies face increasingly complex market pressures to accelerate the product-delivery process.

Their business goals require products to be delivered to customer satisfaction, with no defects, and faster than ever. And yet, 42% of embedded systems are behind schedule.

Among the many challenges to efficient, on-time product delivery are:

• Managing growing complexity in distributed organizations, within their products, and across a network of interrelated and interdependent products
• Maintaining consistent software security and quality standards
• Integrating the supply chain, formalizing acceptance benchmarks for code from supply chain partners
• Demonstrating compliance to process standards
• Verifying requirements traceability
• Inadequate and changing specifications
• Shifting priorities

These are competing, yet equally critical, imperatives.

Despite widespread knowledge of these mounting challenges, engineering organizations are not doing enough to adapt.

They need to make fundamental changes in the planning, management, and execution of system designs; they need new tools and methodologies to change outcomes because in-house and ad-hoc tools are inadequate for modern requirements management.
