A

Support processes

28
Q

not all processes are equally important and not all processes can receive the same amount of attention

A

Evaluation Phase

29
Q

This criterion is concerned with assessing the strategic relevance of each process.

A

Importance

30
Q

This criterion aims to render a high-level judgment of the “health” of each process.

A

Dysfunction

31
Q

It should be determined how susceptible they are to process management initiatives, either incidental or on a continuous basis.

A

Feasibility

32
Q

is a body of techniques to determine the level of systematic process thinking in an organization.

A

BPM MATURITY ASSESSMENT

33
Q

Two aspects of BPM maturity assessment

A
  • is to assess to what extent a given organization covers the range of processes that are ideally expected from it.
  • is to assess to what degree these processes are documented and supported.
34
Q

One of the most widely used frameworks for maturity assessment.

A

Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI)

35
Q

This framework distinguishes a number of so-called process areas.

A

Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI)

36
Q

Five CMMI maturity levels

A

Level 1 - Initial
Level 2 - Managed
Level 3 - Defined
Level 4 - Quantitatively Managed
Level 5 - Optimizing

37
Q

At this initial stage, the organization runs its processes in an ad-hoc fashion, without any clear definition of these processes. Control is missing.

A

Initial

38
Q

At this stage, project planning along with project monitoring and control have been put into practice.

A

Managed

39
Q

Organizations at this stage have adopted a focus on processes.

A

Defined

40
Q

At this stage, organizational process performance is tracked.

A

Quantitatively Managed

41
Q

At this stage of maturity, the organization has established organizational performance management accompanied with causal analysis and resolution.

A

Optimizing

42
Q

Can be conducted internally within an organization (also called self-appraisals

A

Appraisals

43
Q

Different types of appraisal are distinguished and defined in the _________.

A

Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI)

44
Q

is a conceptual model that shows the processes of a company and makes their relationships explicit.

A

process architecture

45
Q

The part of the process architecture that covers the processes on level one is
known as the _________.

A

process landscape model

46
Q

It shows the main processes on a very abstract level.

A

process landscape model (Level 1)

47
Q

Which level shows the processes at a finer degree of granularity, but still in a quite abstract way

A

Level 2

48
Q

Which level show the detail of the processes including control flow, data inputs and outputs, and assignment of participants.

A

Level 3

49
Q

Classifies the types of cases that are handled by an organization.

A

Case Type Dimension

50
Q

is a product or service that is delivered by an organization to its customers, such as an insurance (a service) or a toy (a product).

A

Case

51
Q

Classifies the functions of an organization.

A

function dimension

52
Q

something that an organization does

A

function

53
Q

is something that an organization (or part of it) handles.

A

Case

54
Q

Four steps of Process Architecture Approach

A
  1. identify case types
  2. identify functions for case types
  3. construct case/function matrices
  4. identify processes
55
Q

In the first step, a classification of case types is developed for the organization.

A

Identify Case Type

56
Q

This is done by selecting the case properties that will be used for the classification.

A

Identifying Case Type

57
Q

Properties of Identifying Case Type

A
  • Product Type
  • Service Type
  • Channel
  • Customer Type
58
Q

this property identifies the types of products that are handled by an organization

A

Product Type

59
Q

This property identifies the types of services that the organization handles, similar to the way in which product type identifies the types of tangible deliverables.

A

Service Type

60
Q

This property represents the channel through which the organization contacts its customers.

A

Channel

61
Q

This property represents the types of customer that the organization deals with

A

Customer type

62
Q

In the second step, a classification is developed of the business functions that are performed on the different case types.

A

Identify Functions for Case type

63
Q

In this step, the previous two steps of the described approach lead to a matrix that has the different case types as columns and the different functions as rows.

A

Construct Case/Function Matrices

64
Q

In this final step of the proposed approach, we determine which combinations of business functions and case types form a business process

A

Identify Processes

65
Q

is an object in the organization that flows through a business process.

A

Flow object

66
Q

Is an existing process architecture that is pre-defined as a best-practice solution.

A

Reference Process Architecture
