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.

According to BPMN:

Aprivate (internal) Business Processmodels theinternal workflow of a single organization or participant. Its Activities are tasks, subprocesses, etc., performedinsidethat participant. Messages to other parties are shown only as message flows on the boundary, not as separate activities.

AChoreographydiagram, in contrast, models theinteractions between independent participants.

EachChoreography Activityrepresents aset of message exchangesbetween two or more participants (e.g., “Place Order,” “Send Invoice”), not the internal steps inside any one organization.

Thus the essential difference is exactly what optionDstates:

Private process activities = internal work;

Choreography activities = inter-participant message interactions.

Options A, B, and C misrepresent the relationship; a Choreography is not a special private process, nor is it just “the set of messages” of one process. It is a separate diagram type with its own semantics in BPMN.

In BPMN, apublic (abstract) processshows only theexternal, message-based interactionsbetween a private (internal) business process and another participant. It hides the internal detailed flow and exposes just the communication behavior. That is exactly what optionBdescribes.

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.

TheSarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX)of 2002 was enacted to restore public confidence in corporate financial reporting after major accounting scandals.

Itskey objectiveis:

To ensureexecutive accountabilityfor accurate financial reporting

CEOs and CFOs mustcertify the accuracyof financial statements

Internal controls must be documented, tested, and auditable

Thus, the correct answer isD.

In the BMM,Directives(i.e., Business Policies and Business Rules) are used togovern how the enterprise actsto achieve its Ends.

BMM breaks down:

Meansinto:

Mission

Courses of Action(Strategies and Tactics)

Directives(Business Policies and Business Rules)

The specification states thatBusiness Policies (a type of Directive) exist to govern – control, guide, and shape – Strategies and Tactics, which together are theCourses of Action. Business Rules, derived from these policies, provide precise, enforceable guidance for their execution.

Thus,Directives govern Courses of Action, not Goals, Assessments, or Business Policies (Business Policies themselves are a type of Directive).

So the correct answer isCourses of Action.

In BMM, the key nouns involved here are:

Influencer– something that can impact the organization (e.g., “rising jet fuel prices”).

Assessment– the organization’sevaluationorinterpretationof influencers (e.g., “this will hurt the airline’s business”).

Risk– a specific kind of negative potential impact identified by an assessment.

The scenario says:

“The chief economist… projects increasing costs for jet fuel andbelieves those costs will hurt the airline's business.”

Theincreasing jet fuel coststhemselves are theInfluencer.

Thebelief about its impact(“will hurt business”) is theevaluation of that influencer, which is precisely a BMMAssessment.

So, this belief is modeled as:An assessment.

(Option A,Risk, is related but more specific; the question focuses on the belief/evaluation itself, which is BMM’sAssessmentconcept.)

In BPMN, a task box with asmall envelope iconin its corner represents aMessage-related Task. In the standard notation, that icon on a plain task (like A) is used most commonly for aSend Task:

ASend Task: when executed, itsends a messageand then completes, allowing the process to continue along the outgoing sequence flow.

The following activity (here,B) begins after A completes.

There is no indication of additional work after the message within A beyond what’s included in that send action itself; and there is no separate incoming Message Flow that would indicate a Receive Task.

Evaluating the options:

A. Send a message, then immediately perform B.This matches the behavior of aSend Task followed by another taskvia a sequence flow.

B. Receive a message, then immediately perform B.That would normally be modeled as aReceive Taskwith message flow from an external participant; the diagram only indicates an internal message task.

C. Send a message and perform some work in A, then perform B.In BPMN, the “work in A”isthe sending itself; extra work would typically be modeled as separate tasks.

D. Receive a message and perform some work in A, then perform B.Combines the incorrect assumption of a Receive Task with extra unspecified work.

Thus, the diagram depicts:Task A sends a message, then the process continues with B, which is optionA.

In OMG-aligned BPM architecture,SOA decouples processes from specific application technologiesby exposing system functions as standardized services.

This allows BPM processes to:

Orchestrate services regardless of underlying technology

Promote reuse, loose coupling, and interoperability

Increase agility and maintainability

OptionBis correct because SOAremoves the tight dependenceof process logic on the specific technologies used in back-end systems.

OptionAdescribes a possible outcome, not the core benefit.

OptionCcontradicts SOA’s goal of standardization and reuse.

OptionDincorrectly implies forced tight integration; SOA actually promotesloosely coupledintegration.

Thus,SOA benefits BPM by separating business processes from application-specific technologies, enabling flexible orchestration.
