Probably, most people have by now at least heard of BPMN, the Business Process Modeling Notation standard from OMG that is supposed to be the process-modeling standard. I've been following news for the last 2 years or so but, admittedly, never really dug deep until I started using it at a client. Even then, it was mostly sales-pitch level and learning a bit of the notation from cheat sheets like the BPMN poster. The past few months, however, I have learned more about the standard - what its possibilities and semantics are and how it can be used. I've had training from both a more technical perspective (in an Oracle partner training) as well as from a purely modeling-oriented training (by one of the contributors to the BPMN 2.0 specification, Bruce Silver). And I must say, digging deeper has made me quite enthusiastic about the standard!
