Developing Workflow Solutions using IBM Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.1
This course integrates training in business process management (BPM) methods and implementation with IBM Business Automation Workflow V19. You learn core process modeling and implementation skills, the project development approach, process model implementation fundamentals, and delivery patterns. These skills improve the speed and quality of process definition and implementation efforts.The course provides an overview of the architecture of the IBM Business Automation Workflow and describes the use of process applications and toolkits within the tool. You create business objects and variables, implement gateways, and demonstrate process flow on your diagrams. You build customized user interfaces (coaches) to enable business and process data flows throughout the process model.
