1. Process identification
2. Process discovery (as-is)
3. Process analysis
4. Process redesign (to-be)
5. Process implementation

We will use the BP modelling notation language as the base for our modelling activities.

3. Software Tool

   We will use a business process management modelling tool called ​Bizagi. ​The tool is based on the BPMN 2.0 notation language. We will use it for our class activities as well as for your assignments. You can download it from bizagi web site. This version will be good enough to do modelling activities. However, if time permitted we will try to cover process workflow automation and this will require Xpress version of the tool which you can download here.
