When browsing books with a title that includes the words “business process management” or “BPM,” you expect a chapter to be devoted to the design and implementation of processes. This book so far has laid the groundwork that you need to start implementing processes. You have created your data models and business logic, so the next step is to capture the process that leverages the data model, ties together the business logic and delivers on the promise of business value to your customers.
Your next steps towards designing business processes start with an introduction to the JBoss BPM Suite process designer and process management tools. These tools work together to help you create, deploy and monitor processes from start to completion. You are going start with a basic example project, installing either locally or as a containerized solution, and begin creating from scratch your first business process.
