OMG OMG-OCEB2-FUND100 Actual Questions

In OMG’s BPMN usage guidance and common practice, BPMN models are often discussed inthree levels of detail:

Level 1 – Descriptive (non-technical) modeling

Level 2 – Analytical (detailed but still platform-independent) modeling

Level 3 – Executable (implementation-ready) modeling

Descriptive modeling(Level 1) deliberately uses asmall, business-oriented subset of BPMN symbols. It avoids technical execution attributes and is meant primarily fordocumentation and communication among business stakeholdersacross the organization: managers, business analysts, and subject-matter experts.

Because it is simple, easy to read, and does not assume knowledge of execution semantics or tooling, it isthe easiest level to communicate across the organization.

The other options do not match OMG’s three levels:

Event modelingandvisual modelingare not defined as standard BPMN levels.

Executable modelingis Level 3, aimed at implementation, and isnotthe easiest for broad communication because it introduces technical details (data, error handling, engine-specific attributes).

Therefore, the correct answer isdescriptive modeling.

In cost accounting, expenses likeelectricity, water, heating, rent, and factory insuranceare typically categorized asoverhead costs(often calledindirect costsorindirect manufacturing costs).

From aBusiness Process Management (BPM)andOMG value-chainview:

These costssupportcore operational processes (production, service delivery) butcannot bedirectly tracedto a single product, unit, or customer.

In process modeling (e.g., usingBPMN), they are part of theresourcesandenvironmentneeded to perform activities, not attributed to one specific activity output.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Labor costs– Labor can bedirect(e.g., assembly worker) orindirect(e.g., supervisor), but electricity and water are not labor.

B. Variable costs– Electricity and water canbehavevariably with activity level, but in cost accounting terminology they are classified asoverhead, not as primary variable costs like direct materials.

D. Indirect materials costs– Indirect materials are items like lubricants, cleaning supplies, small tools. Electricity and water areutilities, not materials.

So in standard cost accounting and in how OMG-aligned enterprise models group resource costs,electricity and water are treated as overhead costs.

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.

Management documents without any External Links or URL:

In theBusiness Motivation Model (BMM):

Courses of Action(Strategies and Tactics) representhowthe organization intends to achieve its Ends (Goals and Objectives).

Directives(Business Policies and Business Rules)governandconstrainhow those Courses of Action are carried out.

So:

Directivesspecify what is allowed, required, or prohibited in implementing strategies and tactics.

This is why BMM explicitly states thatDirectives govern Courses of Action.

Why others are incorrect:

Objectives(B) are measurable targets (Ends), not governing elements.

Internal Influencers(C) affect assessments and motivation but donotdirectly govern Courses of Action.

Business Processes(D) are operational implementations, not governance elements in BMM terminology.

Thus, the correct governing elements for Courses of Action in BMM areDirectives.
