Recorded facts and figures - ANS-Data
-Knowledge derived from the data
-Data presented in a meaningful context
-Data processed by summing, ordering, averaging, grouping, comparing, or other similar
operations - ANS-Information
Specific tasks that need to be accomplished as part of the process - ANS-Activities
A subset of activities in a business process performed by an actor - ANS-Role
Person, group, department, organization, or information system - ANS-Actor
Collection of data that is stored within the business process - ANS-Repository
Labeled Dashed lines that represent the movement of data from one activity to another -
ANS-Data Flows
Solid line between two activities representing the buyer/actor's next action to perform -
ANS-Sequence Flows
Can be measured by two dimensions: process effectiveness and process efficiency -
ANS-Process Quality
Enables the organization to accomplish its strategy - ANS-Effective Business Process
The ratio of benefits to costs - ANS-Efficiency
-Accurate
-Timely
-Relevant
-Just barely sufficient
-Worth its cost - ANS-Critical Data Characteristics
Explains breakdown of processes within a project or business area. Merely outlines "what",
does not drill in to the "how" - ANS-Decomposition Model
Illustrates how data is processed in terms of inputs and outputs. Focuses on flow of info, where
data comes from, where it goes, and how it is stored - ANS-Data Flow Diagram
