5/5 · Business Process Management
After a six-month initiative to redesign an order-to-cash process concludes, the sponsoring executive declares the 'process management effort complete,' disbands the project team, and does not assign anyone to monitor the process or hold ongoing performance data going forward. Which CBOK-based observation is most valid?
AThis is appropriate, provided the redesigned process steps were documented in a repository before the team disbanded.
BThis is appropriate, because CBOK treats process management as a discrete project with a defined completion date.
CThis is a misapplication, because CBOK treats process management as an ongoing discipline requiring continuous monitoring, control, and a designated process owner beyond the redesign project.
DThis is a misapplication only if the process spans more than two functional departments.
