Kevin Faughnan, director of IBMвЂ™s Academic Initiative, says business process modeling is one of the key skills that business majors should be studying.

There are just two conditions: they need to be free (trials do not count), and they need to be useful for business process modeller/analyst (so even fine workflow engine does not count unless it has really cool modelling component). If you know of other free tools for business process modelling/analysis please add them in comments. However all those tools can be used to describe business processes, understand them better and (hopefully) improve them. Tools mentioned there differ much вЂ“ some of them offer only very simple modelling capabilities, while others (BPA) offer also analytical mechanisms, simulation algorythms and much more. They are divided into 2 sub-lists: one with standalone (installable) programs, and other with web-based tools. See the latest version: /free-tools-for-business-process-analysts-2015-edition/Д«elow you can find list of a free BPM (Business Process Modelling)/BPA (Business Process Analysis) tools.
