3 BPM Introduction 1. Research shows that is the top way IT executives how to innovate with technology. making business processes more efficient 2. What is Gartner s Pace Layering approach to applications? They describe how within organizations there are different layers of software applications. Applications which need to adapt and change at different speeds. They refer to these layers as Systems of Record, Systems of Differentiation and Systems of Innovation. Firms need to look at how these application layers are governed, managed, sourced, maintained and interact to enable companies to better adapt and react to changing business requirements. Oracle Apps address the System of Record layer Oracle Fusion Middleware supports the Systems of Innovation an Systems of Differentiation that organizations use to achieve competitive advantage. 3. BPM is a for managing and improving business performances through. strategy, continuous optimization 4. A business process is a performed by that deliver business value. set of linked activities, people and systems 3

4 BPM Introduction 5. What are the three key facets of BPM? Agility, Visibility and Efficiency 6. List the essential characteristic of each of the three waves of BPM First Wave (early 20th century) - enhance efficiency of daily operations Second Wave (1990s) - embedded policy in ERP and CRM applications Third Wave (Current) - BPM as a joint effort of business and IT to achieve strategic advantage 7. Strategic planning, using tools like BPM Suite s Business Architecture modelers, is a required step in the BPM closed-loop lifecycle? (True or False) False. However, Business Architecture modeling is recommended to provide a context for process modeling, design 8. Why might the capability maturity levels model be useful? It is a conceptual tool that can help an organization assess its ability to consistently produce necessary results. It helps provide a context within which businesses can be more successful with new technologies, tools and methods. 4

5 BPM Introduction 9. Underlying BPM Suite in the architecture, you find that provides the Java EE application support and that provides the composite application support along with its numerous service engines. WebLogic Server, SOA Suite 5

6 Product Overview 1. is the BPM Suite, web-based tool that is used to model and develop applications. Business Process Composer 2. What does the WYSIWYE acronym mean? It means What You See is What You Execute. You can build executable models. 3. What BPM Suite tool caters especially to process developers? The JDeveloper-based BPM Studio caters to process developers. However, the web-based Process Composer tool is a very capable alternative for many tasks in the typical project lifecycle. 4. What mechanism provides the ability for Process Composer and BPM Studio users to share projects? Process Asset Manager (PAM) 6

7 Product Overview 5. In order to use BPM Suite, you must install SOA Suite. (True or False) True. BPM Suite sits atop a required SOA Suite installation 6. BPM Studio is really just Oracle JDeveloper with some additional plugins installed. (True or False) True. When you use the Quick Start Installer, JDeveloper is automatically configured with the required plugins for BPM Studio. 7. can be created in BPM Studio and then populated using Process Composer. Process templates. They allow process developers to pre-establish templates with standard features that can then be refined by process analysts. 8. If PAM is the design-time repository, what is the run-time repository? MDS, the metadata services repository 7

8 Product Overview 9. What tool do end-users utilize to manage and execute human tasks developed in BPM Suite? Business Process Workspace 10. Three web browser-based tools are key for BPM Suite project development. These include:, and. Process Composer, Business Process Workspace and Enterprise Manager 11. BPM Suite provides three types of business architecture models. These include:, and. Enterprise Maps, Value Chains and Strategy models. 12. What is the difference between simulation and process playing? Simulation is testing the model for bottlenecks based on resource assumptions while process play is validating the application by playing through the activities and web forms used to implement the model. 8

9 Product Overview 13. Which tool would an end-user utilize to delegate or escalate work tasks? Business Process Workspace 14. Which feature supports event-based, knowledge worker-driven workflow? Adaptive Case Management 15. provides pre-build best practice processes. Solution (or Process) Accelerators 9

10 Full Lifecycle 1. Which person is responsible for creating the initial flow of a business process and documenting its steps? Process Analyst 2. The process developer is typically responsible for identifying and defining the KPIs. (True or False) False. KPIs are usually identified and defined by the process analyst. 3. Process Composer has all the capabilities that BPM Studio has. (True or False) False. For example, you can generate and modify ADF forms in BPM Studio. 4. BPM Studio has all the capabilities that Process Composer has. (True or False) False. For example, you can t design Web Forms or build Business Architecture models in BPM Studio. 5. A BPMN model done in Visio can be imported into Process Composer. (True or False) True 10

11 Full Lifecycle 6. What is a space in Process Composer? A space is a container of BPM and Business Architecture projects and to which permissions can be assigned. 7. A(n) is a save point that allows you to go back to a previous state. snapshot 8. Out of the box, what source control systems does Process Asset Manager (PAM) use? Subversion 9. Why might simulation be a good idea in a BPM project? It helps you perform what-if analysis to identify bottlenecks and assess costs in the process prior to investing resource in implementing the process. 10. Simulations can only be conducted using BPM Studio. (True or False) False 11

12 Full Lifecycle 11. You can build a process simulation model automatically based upon runtime metrics. (True or False) True 12. What s the difference between a simulation model and a simulation definition? A simulation model describes a scenario while a simulation definition specifies resourcing. 13. If you want to have a Web Form field to be automatically calculated based upon other fields, you can write to provide the logic. JavaScript 14. Before you can play a process in Process Player, all activities must be implemented or marked as draft. (True or False) True 12

13 Full Lifecycle 15. In BPM Studio, how do you know that deployment has been successful and you can proceed to testing. Watch the Deployment Log panel at the bottom and look for error messages. If you see the Deployment finished message, you can move on to testing. 16. What two tools do you use the most during testing? Use Business Process Workspace to accept tasks and use the application s UI forms and Enterprise Manager to investigate the Flow Trace. 13
