course aims in Estonian
Selle kursuse eesmärgiks on tutvustada üliõpilastele äriprotsesside juhtimise printsiipe ja meetodeid. Pearõhk on äriprotsesside modelleerimisel kui äritoimingute mõistmise ja analüüsimise vahendil ning äriprotsesside automatiseerimist toetavate infotehnoloogiliste (IT) lahenduste kavandamisel.
course aims in English
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the principles and methods of business process management. The course will emphasise the role of business process modelling as an instrument to understand and analyse business operations, and to drive the design of Information Technology (IT) solutions to support the automation of business processes.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Kursuse edukalt läbinud üliõpilane on võimeline:
1. Demonstreerima äriprotsessi juhtimiseks vajalikke organisatsioonilisi ja tehnilisi teadmisi.
2. Dokumenteerima erinevate detailsusastmetega kogu äriprotsessi, kasutades kaasaegseid äriprotsesside modelleerimise tehnikaid.
3. Identifitseerima ja analüüma äriprotsesside modelleerimisel baseeruvaid parendamise võimalusi.
4. Rakendama kvalitatiivseid ja kvantitatiivseid tehnikaid äriprotsesside suutlikuse ja äriprotsesside muudatuste mõju analüüsiks.
5. Mõistma, kuidas äriprotsesside juhtimine on kasutatav hõlmava meetodina IT lahenduste projekteerimisel ja juurutamisel ning äri-IT kaasajastamisel.

type of assessment in Estonian
Üldhinne koosneb Iseseisva töö hindest (maksimaalselt 40 punkti) ja eksamihindest (maksimaalselt 60 punkti).
type of assessment in English
There will be two assessment items:
- Students will conduct in teams a case study in a specific organization or vertical domain (e.g. healthcare, insurance, social services) that will lead to the design of business process models, their analysis and their implementation (40 points).
- Final exam (60 points)
The resulting grade (out of 100) will be mapped to a grade between A and F using the standard University scale.
A deferred exam will be offered to students who are unable to attend the first exam.
independent study in Estonian
Üliõpilased moodustavad projektimeeskonnad, mis töötavad välja, analüüsivad ja realiseerivad äriprotsessi mudeleid,
