| Course Abstract: |
In this course, participants will learn to use PowerDesigner to perform business process modeling and why business processing is so important today. From existing specifications, participants will use PowerDesigner 11.0 to create business process models, including models of composite and underlying processes. Attendees will use the model checking features of PowerDesigner to validate the integrity of their model. Participants will generate EBxml Business Process Specification Schemas and use reverse engineering of EBxml. Finally, they will also learn to create reports from models and how Business Process Modeling integrates with the other model types in PowerDesigner.
