Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I, and Computas in Norway, have been involved with BPMN since the early days in 2003 / 2004 leading to the release of BPMN 1.0 from BPMI. For years, there was no book about BPMN, except for the specification itself. Over the last year, BPMN books have started to appear - and among them is the authoritative guide to BPMN; "BPMN Modeling and Reference Guide" by Stephen A. White - who has been the editor of the standard over the years - and Derek Miers - one of the few European BPM Gurus.
The most amazing thing about this book is its (lack of) thickness - the authors have accomplished to write this authoritative guide in only 221 pages. The introductory part - "Understanding BPMN" is only 46 easily read pages; with lots of nice examples covering BPMN 1.1 modeling style using signal events etc.
If you are interested in a condensed BPMN overview for both business and IT people - this is the book for you.
If you are looking for the best BPMN book around - this is also the book for you.
If you are interested in reading several hundreds of pages about BPMN - I would start with this book, next complement it with the specification itself; available from OMG's website.

BPMN Modeling and Reference GuideUnderstanding and Using BPMN Develop rigorous yet understandable graphical representations of business processes Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a standard, graphical modeling representation for business processes. It provides an easy to use, flow-charting notation that is independent of the implementation environment. An underlying rigor supports the notation - facilitating the translation of business level models into executable models that BPM Suites and workflow engines can understand. Over recent years, BPMN has been widely adopted by Business Process Management (BPM) related products - both the Business Process Analysis and Modeling tool vendors and the BPM Suites. This book is for both business users and process modeling practitioners alike. Part I provides an easily understood introduction to the key components of BPMN (put forward in a user-friendly fashion). Starting off with simple models, it progresses into more sophisticated patterns. Exercises help cement comprehension and understanding (with answers available online). Part II provides a detailed and authoritative reference on the precise semantics and capabilities of the standard.
