A BPMN Modeling Example—A Podcast Publishing Process

Here's the final episode in my business process modeling series. In this video, I create a Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) diagram of a podcast publishing process from start to finish.

The other videos in this series are:

• Don't Build Without a Blueprint (0:45)

• About Processes (1:33)

• The Value of Process Maps (1:27)

• When is Using BPMN Worthwhile? (1:31)

• Process Modeling Steps (2:18)

• Using the Process Logic Canvas (3:05)

• Basic BPMN Grammar (3:38)

• Process Mapping Tools (0:59)

So, in just under 20 minutes, you can get a pretty good handle on the basic concepts underpinning BPMN.

I've found BPMN to help develop a clear, shared understanding of processes. In turn, that accelerates the identification of opportunities for process improvement, including automation. You might find it useful, too.
