Overview

This five-day course provides you with a technical understanding of developing IBM Cúram workflows.

Workflow supports the automation of business processes and allows work to be routed among individuals, departments, and the automated parts of the system. IBM Cúram Social Program Management (SPM) applications provide workflow process definitions to support a range of business processes that bring efficiency benefits to organizations. This course describes how to design and implement workflow process definitions.

At the end of the course, you will design and implement a workflow for a business process.
