Business Process Modeling with UML
sponsored by IBM
Premiered:  13 Nov 2009
Language:  English
ABSTRACT:

UML was created to formally model whole systems. One specific application of UML is to use it to model business processes. Activity diagrams, one of thirteen diagram types that make up UML, can be used for this purpose. In this screencast, get the background on UML and BPM and see a demonstration of how activity diagrams can be used to model business processes. You will also learn:

  1. How swim lanes help the modeler partition diagrams into independent segments.
  2. Why the Ericson-Panker Profile is a good approach for visualizing and communicating business processes.
  3. What to consider when choosing a business process modeling tool.
