TheAs-Is processis used as a basis for To-Be modeling when thecurrent process exists and is still relevant, even if it needs modification—for example, whennew regulatory rules require adjustments. Regulatory changes mean the process structure stays largely valid, but must be updated to meet compliance requirements.

Options A and D are incorrect because if a process is new or undefined, no As-Is model exists.

Option B is incorrect becauseradically changed requirementstypically justify designing a fresh To-Be process without depending on the existing one.

In BPMN,Data Objectsare artifacts that show what data isusedorproducedby activities. They are connected usingData Associations, which are drawn asdashed/dotted lines with arrowheads:

Arrowfrom Data Object to Activity= the data is aninputto that activity.

Arrowfrom Activity to Data Object= the data is anoutputproduced by that activity.

Looking at the options:

Option AshowsTask Awith:

A dashed association arrow fromData Object 1 to Task A(Data Object 1 is input).

A dashed association arrow fromTask A to Data Object 2(Data Object 2 is output).This matches BPMN rules exactly and is a canonical textbook example of input and output data objects for a task.

Option Bshows both data objects associated as outputs only (arrows from Task A to both), which would not reflect the typical input–output pattern and is generally not the intended “correct” example for demonstrating BPMN data object usage.

Options C and Dinvolve attaching a data object to a sequence flow. While BPMN allows associating a data object to a sequence flow as shorthand, the official specification states that when associating an artifact with asequence or message flow, the association is normallynon-directional(no arrowheads), because the flow itself already shows direction. One of these options uses directional arrows incorrectly, and thus these are not preferred as the “correct” representation in a strict exam context.

Given the OMG specification and common BPMN teaching examples,Option Ais the clearly correct and standards-compliant diagram for data objects and data associations.

The diagram shows two Participants (A and B) connected by adashed line with an open circle at the source and an arrow at the target. In BPMN this is aMessage Flow.

Semantics of a Message Flow:

It indicates thatone participant sends a message to another(cross-pool communication).

Mapping options:

A. “Pushes data”describes data association, not a BPMN message flow.

B. “Associated with”refers to BPMNAssociation, which is also dashed, but used between artifacts and flow objects without the open circle/arrow message notation.

C. “Performed before”would be asequence flow, which is solid, not dashed.

D. “A sends a message to B.”exactly describes a Message Flow.

So, the correct interpretation isD.

“Repeat for Each Customer” means thewhole sequenceof activities (Request → Receive → Update) must be executed once per customer. In BPMN this is modeled as amulti-instance activity/subprocess(the three vertical bars marker), which represents “for each element in a collection.” Option B shows exactly that. Option A is a simple loop, C loops each task separately, and D is just a manual cycle in the flow.

Chang defines theprocess owneras the role ultimately accountable for theperformanceof the end-to-end process.

While the process owner may be involved in definition or discovery, theprimary responsibilityis ensuring theprocess performs to required standards.

ThusDis correct.

In BPMN,parallel flowmeans that more than one path is takensimultaneously. Besides using a Parallel Gateway, one legitimate way is:

Anactivity with multiple outgoing, unconditional Sequence Flows: each such flow is taken when the activity completes, so the paths proceed in parallel.

That is exactly what optionCstates:Multiple unconditional paths exit an activity→ all of them are taken, which starts parallel execution.

OptionA(multiple paths from anexclusivegateway) is not parallel; an exclusive gateway allowsonly oneoutgoing path per token.

OptionB(multiple conditional paths) may or may not create parallelism, depending on which conditions are true; it’s not the canonical way to model parallel flow.

OptionDis invalid because an exclusive gateway cannot have multiple default flows.

Hence,Cis the legitimate way to commence parallel flow.

In cost accounting, expenses likeelectricity, water, heating, rent, and factory insuranceare typically categorized asoverhead costs(often calledindirect costsorindirect manufacturing costs).

From aBusiness Process Management (BPM)andOMG value-chainview:

These costssupportcore operational processes (production, service delivery) butcannot bedirectly tracedto a single product, unit, or customer.

In process modeling (e.g., usingBPMN), they are part of theresourcesandenvironmentneeded to perform activities, not attributed to one specific activity output.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Labor costs– Labor can bedirect(e.g., assembly worker) orindirect(e.g., supervisor), but electricity and water are not labor.

B. Variable costs– Electricity and water canbehavevariably with activity level, but in cost accounting terminology they are classified asoverhead, not as primary variable costs like direct materials.

D. Indirect materials costs– Indirect materials are items like lubricants, cleaning supplies, small tools. Electricity and water areutilities, not materials.

So in standard cost accounting and in how OMG-aligned enterprise models group resource costs,electricity and water are treated as overhead costs.

In the diagram, a singlePoolis partitioned intolaneslabeled:

“System 123”

“Role A”

“GUI 123”

In BPMN,lanes are flexible partitionsused to organize and categorize activities within a Pool. They may represent organizational units, roles, systems, applications, or any other logical grouping that helps clarify responsibilities.

Therefore:

A. “Lanes are only allowed outside pools” – incorrect; lanes existinsidepools.

B. “Lanes must always indicate organizational units” – too restrictive; they can also represent systems, roles, etc.

C. “Lanes must always indicate systems but not GUIs” – also false; BPMN does not impose that limitation.

D. Yes, lanes can be used as shown in the model.– This matches BPMN’s flexible lane semantics.
