This webinar is about Business Process Management (BPM) – the running and improving of a business via its processes.

Mark Monteleone CBAP / PMP, the webinar presenter, defines and provides insight in the use of BPM by answering six questions:

• As a business analyst, what should you ask for when joining a business?
  * What is the difference between managing a business by function vs. process?
• Why would you redesign rather than incrementally improve a process?
• Why should your process analysis cover a value chain rather than a sub process?
• Why should you establish leading and lagging metrics to control a process?
• What is the most challenging part of business process management, improving the process or managing the resistance?

Besides addressing the above questions, Mark will include a Business Analyst (BA) Quick Reference Checklist for conducting a “process redesign or incremental improvement analysis” plus explanations on various BPM terms and references.

Presenter: Mark Monteleone, (BA Times bio) CBAP, PMP  an independent consultant and author of The 20 Minute Business Analyst: a collection of short articles, humorous stories, and quick reference cards for the busy analyst  Mark has also written several articles in Modern Analyst, BA Times, BA Connection, International Association of Facilitators (IAF), and Global Flipchart.

Managing a project involves managing data – lots of data – and it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important.

• What if you could build a business intelligence dashboard to help you manage projects more effectively?
• And what if you could do it in less than 30 minutes by using software that you already have?

Whether you’ve used Visio for years or have never clicked the program icon, you may not be aware that you can use it to build project-related dashboards.

In this session Scott Helmers will explore ways to measure and visualize team members’ progress toward project goals.

Scott will turn flowcharts into dynamic process reporting tools, and he  will build a project timeline, all using Visio.

Finally, Scott will tie all of those diagrams together by publishing them to SharePoint in a way that allows anyone – with or without Visio – to view your dashboard.

Scott Helmers (LinkedIn profile) Visio MVP – Based on his knowledge of Microsoft Visio and his active participation supporting Visio online, Microsoft has named Scott a Visio Most Valuable Professional, one of 13 in the world. Scott recently wrote “Visio 2010 Step by Step” for Microsoft Press.
