Data objects can be associated with activities, sequence flow and message flow.

12 What are two characteristics of a BPMN group?

	A group may control the flow of a process and describe shared goals.
	A group is constrained by restriction of lanes and shows the relationship among subprocesses
	A group is denoted by dashes and dots and may include activities in two or more pools.

Answer >>

A group is denoted by dashes and dots and may include activities in two or more pools.

An event is something that happens during a business process. The types are Start, End and Intermediate.

18 Which statement about Sequence Flow in BPMN is true?

	The sequence flow defines the transition between the logical steps performed by a single participant
