ABPMP Russian Chapter

What ABPMP Russian Chapter does

ABPMP Russian Chapter (Ассоциация профессионалов управления бизнес-процессами, also abbreviated АПУБП) is a non-profit professional association established in 2013 as the official Russian chapter of ABPMP International (Association of Business Process Management Professionals). Headquartered in Moscow, the association aggregates 178 individual members — Russian citizens with higher education who are current or aspiring BPM specialists — and serves as the recognized national standards body for business process management. Its core intellectual property centers on the BPM CBOK (Business Process Management Common Body of Knowledge), the professional standard 'Специалист по процессному управлению' (approved by the Russian Ministry of Labour via Order No. 248н on April 17, 2018), and supporting knowledge artifacts such as BPM/BPMN glossaries and the BPMNbox collaborative knowledge base.

The association's product surface spans four streams: (1) annual membership subscriptions, (2) international CBPP and CBPA certification examinations delivered in Russian and online since 2020 (CBPP ~$725, CBPA ~$590), (3) independent qualification assessment through the bpmpro.ru examination center launched in 2023 for 'Process Analyst' and 'Process Regulation Specialist' roles, and (4) annual events including the 'BPM-проект года' competition (56 submissions and 15 finalists in 2026) and the VI All-Russian Practical Forum 'Organizational Development 2026' with 80+ directors of organizational development. Revenue is augmented by corporate sponsorship from BPM software vendors (Comindware, ELMA, Naumen, GlobIT) and four accredited educational partners (GlobIT, МИРЭА Russian Technological University, BPM School, bpmntraining.ru).

Governance is exercised through a member-elected Board of Directors; at the June 29, 2026 General Meeting Belaychuk A.A. was re-elected President for a 3-year term, Vagner Yu.B. elected VP for Operations, and Narezhnev A.N. appointed VP for Development. Partnerships span Russian professional bodies (ISACA Moscow Chapter from 2014, itSMF Russia from 2016, IIBA Russia Chapter, IPMA-affiliated СОВНЕТ, НОВАК, СПКФР) and international affiliation with ABPMP International. As of 2026, the association remains active and operating, with a recent Consultative Council formation signaling structural broadening of its engagement model.

• Comindware: Skolkovo-based Russian low-code BPM platform vendor and an official sponsor of ABPMP Russian Chapter. Comparable as a commercial ecosystem participant that shares the BPM platform/category, though it is a vendor rather than a peer professional body.
