How would you explain process transparency in the context of Business Process Management?

Process transparency in Business Process Management ensures stakeholders have clear visibility into process structures and performance. The SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite Documentation explains:

Exact Extract:"Process transparency in BPM is achieved by structuring all processes hierarchically and providing drill-down navigation from high-level value chains to detailed process models, enabling stakeholders to understand process flows and performance at various levels." (SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite Overview, section on "Process Transparency").

Explanation:

Option B (Structure all processes and provide drill-down navigation from the value-chain level to the actual process):This is correct as process transparency involves organizing processes in a hierarchical structure (e.g., value chains to subprocesses) and enabling users to navigate from high-level overviews to detailed models, as supported by SAP Signavio Process Manager and Collaboration Hub.

Option A (Highlight departmental boundaries in larger process models)is incorrect as transparency focuses on process clarity, not emphasizing departmental divisions, which may be a modeling choice but not the definition.

Option C (Automate processes into the company process structure)is incorrect because automation is a separate BPM activity, not a component of transparency.

Option D (Start an investigation to grasp all relevant data at a glance)is incorrect as investigations are specific to Process Intelligence analysis, not the broader concept of BPM transparency.
