Henrick,
Thanks for the interest in the book. We had some technical issues with graphics not displaying properly so we encountered a bit of a delay. We are working on it, and will have it done soon.

Boon Hou,
Good to hear from you. How are things in Singapore? Yes, we are still working on the book. Getting ramped up on a new job takes a while, especially when I’m learning a bunch of new products, not just one. The style of process modeling is slightly different now but the PMF (process modeling framework) concepts still apply. In addition to BPM, ESB, and other SOA related products, I’m also working with complex event processing (CEP) and data virtualization.
So about the book, we are wrapping up the content now and starting the editing phase. It’s slow going because Tom and I both have day jobs. The BPMN 2.0 is due to be official in June or July. We are planning on having the book ready around the same time, but we’re also not making a commitment to a date. What is missing in most BPMN books is a consistent flow and a true teaching style that is easy to read. We are concentrating more on making it flow as a higher priority than when we release it. So keep your eye out for the next book. We’ll be announcing it within a few months. Sorry we can’t make it sooner.

Barb,
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoy sharing my experience with the next generation of process modelers. We are at an exciting time in not only technology, but also in how businesses use the technology. I think that good process modeling skills will be in very high demand in the next few years. So anyone who really masters this skill will have lots of great career opportunities. To master this skill, keep in mind what I showed the class and you will do quite well.
The biggest roadblock you will encounter is all of the complexity in a large organization. In reality, complexity is just a combination of simple things. The technique I showed helps you be more efficient. Focus on the patterns of the simple things, match them up to the organization, and everything will quickly fall into order.

The best of luck to you

Rick,

I really enjoyed your presentation last week to our Business Process class at Georgia State.

You gave us a great way to look at business processes, and it was very interesting. I will be checking into this site in the future.

Thanks!

Tom,
Sorry, not outsiders on this one. But for the 30 or so students in this class, be sure to attend Thursday. It will be well worth your time.

I don’t have any public events on the books as of right now. Hint: anyone offering? I might just take you up on it.
