Course Description:
Recent tactical success in the utilization of Web services has brought renewed attention to a strategic commitment to Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). Early adopters have been investing in SOA for the past five years but now the development of more rigorous methodologies and technologies, and the maturing of standards, are making SOA accessible to everyone. SOA can be defined as a software design and implementation methodology for creating loosely coupled, coarse-grained business services. These business services can be independently developed and combined into higher value business processes.

Duration: 1 day
Course Type: Elective Course
Course Description:
People are key to process improvement. Not only are they the holders of knowledge about how processes work, where they fail, and how they could be made better; they are also the determining factor in whether the resulting changes are adopted or rejected. For these reasons, learning facilitation skills to better elicit information, guide group discussion, and lead process improvement work sessions are crucial. Good facilitation helps the team to draw on its knowledge, wisdom, and experience to build better quality solutions.

Course Description:
Defining a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the current challenge of many enterprise IT organizations. The emergent popularity of Web services, and the ease of implementation, has muddied the waters, as many have adopted an incremental approach to SOA via Web services, without first thinking through the larger architectural issues. This course sets the context for describing an SOA from an architectural perspective, coming to grips with the reality of this emerging technology, and providing a detailed understanding of the elements that comprise SOA, as well as techniques and practices for creating organization-wide software integration solutions using SOA concepts.

Course Description:
Traditionally, process modeling has relied on proprietary tools and methodologies, raising the cost and limiting shared understanding. Today we have a powerful new process modeling standard, the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) from OMG, and an ever-increasing variety of modeling tools that support it. BPMN looks a bit like traditional swimlane diagrams, but adds powerful new features that allow exception handling – the hidden cost of real-world business processes – to be modeled explicitly in the diagram.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as the next major architectural style, especially for enterprise applications. The potential benefits of SOA in terms of flexibility, agility, cost, and time to market have swept it into the limelight and most software organizations are planning to or are currently adopting SOA technologies. But is the marketing hype just setting up SOA to deliver another major disappointment (remember ERP, BPR, Objects, Components)? Not if we can help it.

of Enterprise Business Process Management [EBPM] requires that executives
apply eight essential principles and cascade these throughout the organization
to assure that the end-to-end business processes are understood, improved
and managed.
