Discuss The Open Group OGBA-101 Exam Topic 2 Question 26

Consider the following example value stream:

Which of the following statements is most correct?

AThe value stream is decomposed into five value stream stages

BThe value stream consists of five sequential subprocesses.

CThe value stream is decomposed into five sequential events.

DThe value stream is mapped to five subsidiary value streams.

Suggested Answer: A

According to the TOGAF Series Guide to Value Streams (Version 1), a value stream stage is defined as ''a distinct part of a value stream that represents a group of activities contributing to an overall result''5.A value stream stage can be expressed as a noun phrase that indicates what outcome or state is achieved by completing the stage5. For example, some possible value stream stages are ''Product Ordered'', ''Payment Processed'', or ''Customer Satisfied''.The example value stream shows how an online retailer creates and delivers value for its customers by performing five value stream stages: ''Acquire Retail Product'', ''Advertise Channels'', ''Display Products'', ''Enable Selection'', ''Process Payment'', and ''Deliver Product(s)''5. Therefore, the value stream is decomposed into five value stream stages.

Five subsidiary streams? That sounds off to me.

Ronny 11 months ago

I thought it was events, C makes sense too.

Rosina 11 months ago

Wait, are we sure it's not five subprocesses?

Augustine 11 months ago

Totally agree, A seems right!

Dannette 11 months ago

I think there are five stages in the value stream.

Rozella 12 months ago

I vaguely recall something about subsidiary value streams, but I don't think that's what this question is asking.

Jolanda 12 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the difference between subprocesses and stages. I hope I can remember the definitions during the exam.

Nan 12 months ago

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to identify stages in a value stream. I feel like "sequential events" might be the answer.

Marica 1 year ago

I remember we discussed value streams in class, but I'm not sure if "stages" or "subprocesses" is the right term here.

This is a good test of my understanding of value stream mapping. I'll carefully analyze the diagram and the wording of each answer choice to determine the most accurate statement.

Jutta 1 year ago

I'm a little confused by the terminology in the answer choices. What's the difference between a "value stream stage" and a "sequential subprocess"? I'll have to re-read the question carefully.

Haley 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got it. The diagram shows a value stream that's been broken down into five distinct steps or stages. So I believe the correct answer is A.

Ronna 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The diagram shows some kind of process flow, but I'm not sure if it's decomposed into stages, subprocesses, events, or subsidiary streams. I'll have to think this through.

Samira 1 year ago

This looks like a classic value stream mapping question. I'll carefully examine the diagram and the answer choices to determine the most accurate statement.

Martha 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the path definition with the loose hop. I'll need to review my notes on how that impacts the behavior when a router fails.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. SQL injection can be a complex topic, and I want to make sure I understand the nuances before selecting my answers.

Hold up, are we sure these are even real value streams? Looks more like a fancy flowchart to me. *chuckles* Anyway, I'll go with B, just to be safe.

Vincenza 2 years ago

Option C is the way to go! The value stream is decomposed into five sequential events. Simple as that! *snaps fingers*

Margurite 2 years ago

Hmm, I'm not sure. The question seems a bit tricky. Maybe we should ask the instructor to clarify what a 'value stream' really means. *scratches head*

I think the value stream is decomposed into five value stream stages.

Winfred 2 years ago

I think the value stream is mapped to five subsidiary value streams. Option D seems to be the correct answer here.

Jutta 2 years ago

↳ replying to Winfred

I'm not sure, but I think option B could also be a possibility.

Fernanda 2 years ago

↳ replying to Winfred

I see your point, but I still believe option D is the best choice.

Barabara 2 years ago

↳ replying to Winfred

I think it might actually be option A, where the value stream is decomposed into five value stream stages.

Magdalene 2 years ago

↳ replying to Winfred

I agree, option D does seem to be the most correct.

Freeman 2 years ago

Because the value stream is decomposed into sequential events, not stages.

Chau 2 years ago

The value stream is clearly decomposed into five sequential subprocesses. Option B is the most accurate description.

Rikki 2 years ago

↳ replying to Chau

Yes, the value stream is clearly decomposed into five sequential subprocesses.

Rikki 2 years ago

↳ replying to Chau

I agree, option B is the most accurate description.

Sharita 2 years ago

Why do you think it's C?

Freeman 2 years ago

I disagree, I believe it's C.

Sharita 2 years ago

I think the correct answer is A.
