The Context for Business Processing Modelling · Process View versus Functional View
A business analyst is preparing a presentation for the executive board arguing that the company relies too heavily on its functional view (organisation chart). Which of the following is a primary limitation of the functional view that the analyst should highlight?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The functional view (organisation chart) is a static representation of reporting lines and internal departmental structures. Its primary limitation is that it does not show the dynamic flow of work—how processes cross functional boundaries to respond to events and deliver value to customers. The process view is required to see these cross-functional workflows.
