In this individual assignment, you will learn to model business processes using the Bizagi modeling tool. You will use the Bizagi Modeler to model a total of two business processes. The Bizagi Modeler is a freeware program that you can download and install on your computer.

Business Process 1: Mobile Check Deposit Some banks now allow customers to deposit checks using their mobile phones. The process starts with the customer who must decide to initiate a check deposit. To simplify the process, we will assume the customer has logged into the banking app on her phone. The customer selects the Deposit Checks option on her mobile banking app. The app first prompts the customer to take a picture of the front of the check with the phones camera. The customer takes a picture of the front of the check. The app then analyzes the picture to make sure it looks like a valid check. If the picture is not validated the app prompts the customer to retake the picture. If the picture is validated the app prompts the customer to take a picture of the back of the check. The customer takes a picture of the back of the check. The app then analyzes the picture to make sure the check has been signed. If a signature is not recognized the app prompts the customer to retake the picture. If a signature is recognized the app prompts the customer to enter the amount of the check. The customer enters the amount of the check. The app then displays a deposit preview that includes the check images and amount and prompts the customer to complete the deposit. The customer selects Make Deposit and the app sends the deposit information to the banking server for processing. The app then asks if the customer wishes to deposit another check. If yes, the app prompts the customer to take a picture of the front of the check. If no, the app displays the main banking screen and the process ends.

Business Process 2: Travel Expense Reimbursement University faculty members often travel to conferences to present research papers. The associated expenses are reimbursed through a business process called Travel Expense Reimbursement. The process starts with the faculty member filling out an expense form. The faculty member then submits the completed form to the Department Administrator for review. The Department Administrator must make sure that the faculty member has correctly filled out the form and attached all required receipts. If there are any problems with the form or missing receipts the Administrator returns everything to the faculty member for correction and resubmission. Once everything is in order the Administrator sends a copy of the expense form to the Department Chair for approval. The Department Chair will either approve the request or reject it as non-reimbursable. If the request is rejected, the Chair informs the faculty member and the process ends. If the request is approved, the Chair informs the Department Administrator who submits the request to Accounts Payable for payment processing. Accounts Payable delivers a check for the approved amount to the faculty member and the process ends.
