BPMN and DMN

I recommend the Method & Style Books by Bruce Silver if you want to go deep into BPMN and DMN. They are authoritative, comprehensive, and well-written.

Fundamentals of Business Process Management

If you want to dive deeper into Business Process Management (BPM), Fundamentals of Business Process Management is a good place to start. The authors have generously shared their teaching materials and a complete lecture series.

Topics covered by the book and accompanying materials include:

  • Introduction to Business Process Management
  • Process Identification
  • Essential Process Modeling
  • Advanced Process Modeling
  • Process Discovery
  • Qualitative Process Analysis
  • Quantitative Process Analysis
  • Process Redesign
  • Process-Aware Information Systems
  • Process Implementation with Executable Models
  • Process Monitoring
  • BPM as an Enterprise Capability

The book is aimed primarily at analysts within larger enterprises. Nevertheless, the concepts apply to solopreneurs who wish to avail themselves of the process automation opportunities afforded by the latest no-code tools. Those who understand and manage their most important processes effectively have a competitive advantage, regardless of the size of their businesses.

The Book

This textbook covers the entire Business Process Management (BPM) lifecycle, from process identification to process monitoring, covering along the way process modeling, analysis, redesign, and automation. Concepts, methods, and tools from business management, computer science, and industrial engineering are blended into one comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach. The presentation is illustrated using the BPMN industry standard defined by the Object Management Group and widely endorsed by practitioners and vendors worldwide.
