Session Description: Come learn how to use one business process modeling (BPM) methodology to gather current and future-state content requirements. This data can be analyzed for process improvement or automation of existing paper-based workflow processes.

Attendees will learn: How to use the BPM methodology to look at content differently

An overview of two standards-based modeling methods: BPMN (Business Process Management and Notation) and EPC (Event-driven Process Chain)

How to use these two methods to model their content (free-form and structured)

How to gain more knowledge about the BPM industry, its certifications, and how it can open more doors in the business analysis arena
