Abstract

The article considers the experience of developing digital business process management competencies in computer economists based on the BPM concept (Business Process Management). The article characterizes the modern approach to BPM, defines trends in the development of BPM systems, identifies key areas of knowledge in process management, formulates a basic set of requirements for developing business process management competencies, and presents practical experience in teaching the BPM methodology. The BPM concept considers business processes and their improvement as important assets of digital transformation, leading to an increase in all components of an organization’s efficiency. Business process management at the present stage is a synthesis of the BPM methodology and the information technologies that support it. To automate the entire life cycle of improving business process management, the software is used – BPMS systems. The increasing business demand for these systems actualizes the need to train specialists in business process management based on the BPM concept. The article presents the main provisions of BPM and describes the practical experience of teaching the BPM methodology in the training of computer economists at the Belarusian State Economic University.
