Would like to see some consolidation of knowledge?

If you answered "yes" above guess you might be interested in BPM Common Body of Knowledge, or for short CBOK.

What is the CBOK?

The COBK is a comprehensive overview of the issues, best practices and lessons learned collected by the ABPMP.

What does the CBOK contain?

BPM is a constantly evolving discipline. This initial release of the ABPMP BPM CBOK provides a basic understanding of BPM practice along with references to the BPM community and other valuable sources of information.

Why is the CBOK important?

As with any other emerging discipline, BPM finds different groups using language in different ways resulting in conflicting definitions for terms which can confuse discussions on the topic. This Guide to the BPM CBOK encourages the use of a common, agreed upon vocabulary for the BPM discipline.

CBOK is the door to the BPM Family

You should look at the CBOK as the passport to the BPM Family. With the CBOK you will be part of the large community of BPM professionals who use this guide, in conjunction with a variety of other sources of information, to expand and share their knowledge on the practice of BPM.

How can you access the CBOK?

The CBOK is only available to ABPMP members.

Start today. Join the ABPMP. Join the ABPMP family of Georgia.

Getting Started

The Georgia Chapter of ABPMP has been in the making for quite some time now and it is a pleasure to see things move quickly now – for the last few months. The organization is making strides primarily due to the help, dedication and commitment of the board members who are Jonjie Thralls, Margret Heberling, Filipe Pinto and Catherine. I see good times ahead as we explore the possibilities and future of BPM.
