The business analyst (BA) at Northern Trail Outfitters needs to create a current state
process map for a Service Cloud implementation with its retail division. The BA needs a
simple diagramming notation for the process map that is applicable across all industries,
provides context for metrics and management decisions, and supports regulatory
considerations.
Which diagramming notation should the BA use for the process map?
A. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
B. Universal Process Notation (UPN)
C. Unified Modeling Language (UML)
B. Universal Process Notation (UPN)
Explanation:
This answer selects Universal Process Notation (UPN) as the diagramming notation that
the BA should use for the process map. UPN is a simple and standardized way of creating
process maps, using only four symbols: activity, decision, start/end, and annotation. UPN
can help the BA create a process map that is applicable across all industries, provides
context for metrics and management decisions, and supports regulatory considerations.
