Introduction In a previous Blog I showed how to create a Dashboard from a Business Measure. In this Blog I will show how to create a KPI (Key Performance Indicator). As can be seen from the picture, a KPI is based on a Business Measure. A Business Measure measures parts of a process or data and a KPI monitors whether the measured part reaches a particular value. So: KPI helps to monitor and capture critical information pertaining to Business Process or Activity. Step 1 - Create Business Measure for KPI First you have to create a Business Measure on which the KPI will be based. In this example we take a Webservice as the source for the business measure.

The certification has three parts: Multiple choice questions Handson Interview The most difficult part is the Multiple choice questions. This requires some study and this can be found on the Wiki. This gives a good overview of the questions you can expect. In the handson part you get a couple of questions which you must make. You have 5 days for the questions and these are relatively easy. I suggest you do the Fundamentals training online which is available on the Wiki. In case you already have project experience then even this is not needed. Within the interview you need to explain your solution of the handson and this is also easy if you made the questions yourself of course. Th

This year's Cordial was held on the 9th and 10th October in Putten. The yearly event is getting more popular because it was packed. Some of the highlights for me: A couple of very entertaining presentations with content. Must see: Freek Vermeulen  on why organisations find it so difficult to change. Magnus Lindkvist  on the present and future trends Meeting a lot of interesting people in the BPM field Partner dinner with excellent food Nice to hear that integration and BPM skills are still very much needed in the future :-) See the CEO of Cordys in person Presentation of CIZ of a project with Cordys Case Management. With  Ciber  i also participated within that project. So it was nice to hear of the succes The partnership of Cordys and Aquima . A business rule engine that can be used seeming less with Cordys And of course more can be found on  http://www.cordys.com/resources Looking forward to it again next year!
