BPMN Corner
> Teaching BPMN > The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) plays an important role for the BPT group. We have several years of teaching experience in BPMN -- we include it in our classes since BPMN's very beginnings in 2004. More information on our teaching activities related to BPMN are available at the
Teaching BPMN web page.
> Training, Coaching, and Joint Projects > Based on our expertise in business process management, we offer training process modeling techniques as well as independent coaching and help in solving the hard problems related to business process management.
> Analyzing BPMN > Since we are interested in BPMN from a research perspective, we have developed different evaluations and white papers over the last years. A background in formal methods and involvement in industry projects at the same time helps us balance precision and relevance.
> Tooling for BPMN > We are actively developing
Oryx, an open source modeling environment for BPMN and other process modeling languages. We also provide BPMN stencil sets for common modeling tools.

BPMN Poster
The Business Process Technology group at HPI has developed a BPMN poster, featuring BPMN Version 1.1. Feel free to use for your process modelling projects!
- BPMN Poster in English
- BPMN Poster in Deutsch (in cooperation with J. Freund of camunda services GmbH)
- BPMN Poster in Russian
We recently created a
new version of the poster covering BPMN2.0.
Book Publication
The book
The Process - Business Process Modeling Using BPMN is a novel that provides an easy start into BPMN. Learn BPMN with Tom Bauer and his mentor Anne White. Discover the questions behind process models and the process of process modeling using BPMN. More information about the BPMN-Book can be found at
http://www.bpmn-book.com.
The book
Business Process Management: Concepts, Languages, Architectures by Mathias Weske provides a solid basis for business process management. It covers conceptual and architectural aspect of business process management, but has its center of gravity in process languages: It explains Petri Nets, Workflow Nets, Event-Driven Process Chains (EPC), Yet Another Workflow Language (YAWL), and BPMN.
