OMG OMG-OCEB2-FUND100 Practice Test Questions Answers

BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), as defined by the Object Management Group, is specifically agraphical notation for specifying business processes with well-defined execution semantics.

The standard describes how flow elements (events, activities, gateways, sequence flows, etc.) behave and how tokens move through a process – that is itsexecution semantics.

Strategy models, organization models, and business rules modelsare explicitlyout of scopeof BPMN itself, though BPMN models can be related to such artifacts through other OMG standards (e.g., BMM for motivation/strategy, or DMN for decision logic).

Therefore, among the options, onlyExecution semanticsis within BPMN’s defined scope.

“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.

In Quality Management (TQM, Six Sigma, ISO 9001),commonly used quality toolsinclude:

Run chart

Control chart

Pareto chart

Fishbone diagram

Histogram

Scatter diagram

Check sheet

Among the options:

Run chart→ Correct, a standard quality analysis tool

Gantt chart → Project scheduling tool, not quality-specific

Quality cost baseline → A document, not a tool

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) → Project decomposition tool, not used in quality analysis

Therefore, the correct answer isA.

Porter’s Five Forcesis a classicstrategic analysis frameworkfrequently referenced inbusiness architecture and BPMto understand the external environment that shapes processes and strategies.

The five forces are:

Barriers to entry / Threat of new entrants– How easy is it for new competitors to enter the market?

Threat of substitute products or services– Can customers switch to something different that satisfies the same need?

Bargaining power of suppliers– How much power do suppliers have over price, quality, and terms?

Bargaining power of customers (buyers)– How much power do customers have to push prices down or demand more value?

Competitive rivalry within the industry– Intensity of competition among current players.

OMG’sBusiness Motivation Model (BMM)and enterprise strategy views use these kinds of external assessments to drive:

Ends(goals, objectives).

Means(strategies, tactics).

Resultingbusiness processesmodeled in BPMN.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A, C, and Dmix in elements ofstrategic planning steps,value chain analysis, orgoal setting, but none of them match the canonical list of the Five Forces.

Thus, the correct set of Porter’s Five Forces is exactly what is listed inOption B.

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.
