Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)

The primary purpose of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is to illustrate a process logic with diagrams, to document business requirements or map them in IT systems.

Stephan Fischli has been closely working with Bruce Silver - a BPMN reference and author in the US - since 2003, with whom he has co-developed the gold standard training platform BPMessentials.com. Stephan has also translated the best-seller guide "BPMN Method and Style" in German. Below is a short description of our available courses
