BPMN EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
Why process modeling? - ANSWER Understand and control current processes
Measure time, cost, and resources
Improve current processes
Streamline, identify missing steps, rationalize
Design new processes
Realize business requirements with new processes
Communicate existing and new processes
Process models are a very effective way to communicate existing and new
processes
Automate processes
Apply a process execution engine
BPMN - ANSWER Human oriented industry standard graphical notation for
modelling business processes
BPMN Major Elements - ANSWER Connections
Swim lanes
Flow Objects
Artifacts
, Event - ANSWER something of note that happens to the business
Activity/Task - ANSWER a piece of work performed in a business process
Token - ANSWER A token is an imaginary focus of control that moves around
the model
Tokens move from source object to target object via a sequence flow
An object executes when it has a token on one or more of its input flows
Sequence flow - ANSWER where the "token" goes next
Gateway - ANSWER controls the flow through the business process
A gateway is a decision point
Gateways split and merge (or join) the flow through a business process
You control the flow through the business process by choosing the appropriate
gateways
There are man types of gateways
Exclusive Gateway - ANSWER The exclusive gateway — also known as XOR
gateway — represents an exclusive decision.
