Getting Your Masters Degree in BPM Development

Kelvin King, Senior Product Manager  |  January 19th, 2010  


What separates a good university masters degree program from a great one?  I believe it can be summed up in 3 key factors:

  1. Expert instructors, who are actively working in their field.
  2. A curriculum with a strong practical focus.
  3. Perspectives drawn from a broad range of real world experience.

These same 3 key factors were core design principles for our Level 2 BPM Developer course – which takes good BPM Developers and helps them transform into master BPM Developers.

Most of our customers have learned how to build successful process applications, but they are still unclear on how to best leverage Teamworks to address their more complex application requirements.  They want to know how to design, architect and implement very robust process applications … how to master the use of Teamworks. 

That’s why Lombardi field mentors lead the instruction of our Level 2 class.  Lombardi mentors are highly experienced implementation consultants that work shoulder-to-shoulder with customers – but as mentors their focus is on teaching the customer how to build the solution, rather than building it for them.  Their mission is to build self-sufficiency in our customer teams and transfer knowledge about BPM best practices and implementation techniques.

Our mentors and consultants helped design a Level 2 BPM Developer curriculum with a strong practical focus.  Through 6 half day instructional modules, we teach the most common complex requirement patterns encountered in the field and the best practices for addressing those patterns.  The course topics and hands-on exercises are based on experience gained by Lombardi field delivery teams across hundreds of customer projects.

This unique blend of BPM best practice and deep hands-on implementation skills enables us to create a new educational experience where participants sharpen their advanced technical skills while internalizing proven BPM engineering discipline.

We don’t expect everyone in your organization to become a master BPM developer, but our experience has shown that having several key individuals with this level of expertise is critical.  They provide essential development and architecture leadership for your company.  Having individuals with this level of advanced skill leads to higher levels of self-sufficiency, productivity and overall business impact for your BPM team.
