3.1 · Discrimination

1. What are swimlanes used for?

To show WHO is doing WHAT (one corridor per actor) and the transmissions To color To print To calculate

BPMN is the more rigorous standardized notation.

3.1 · Application

2. When to prefer BPMN to simple corridors?

Always BPM/quality/IS context requiring rigor and standardization Never For a small process

The hallways are sufficient for most needs.

3.2 · Discrimination

3. What should you use for a professional network diagram?

Generic rectangles Pictures Specialized network templates (standardized equipment icons) Nothing

Recognizable and immediately readable.

3.2 · Application

4. How does a network diagram become searchable documentation?

With colors By printing it By photographing it Via form data (IP, model, etc.) attached to the equipment

Without overloading the visual with text.

3.3 · Discrimination

5. What is the major specificity of a floor plan?

SCALE (drawing = actual measurements, e.g. 1 cm = 1 m) Color The number of pages Entertainment

An off-scale plan is misleading.

3.3 · Exclusion

6. For precise/detailed architecture, what should you prefer over Visio?

PowerPoint CAD/DAO software (AutoCAD, Revit) Excel A flowchart

Visio is suitable for layout and business plans.

3.4 · Discrimination

7. Which UML diagram models the structure (classes, attributes, relationships)?

The sequence diagram The floor plan The class diagram (the most used) The network diagram

The sequence models interactions over time.

3.4 · Application

8. What does an entity-relationship diagram model?

A network A process An organizational chart The structure of a database: tables, fields, keys, relationships

Follow standardized notations for comprehension.

3.4 · Exclusion

9. For generating code/SQL from a diagram, which should you prefer?

A specialized tool (software engineering workshop) Visio is enough PowerPoint A spreadsheet

Visio is suitable for drawing/documenting in an accessible way.

3.5 · Discrimination

10. What is a P&ID?

An organizational chart A standardized piping and instrumentation (process) diagram A floor plan A UML diagram

Standardized symbols in the field of industrial processes.

3.5 · Application

11. Why respect the standardized symbols of a domain?

To decorate To slow down So that the diagrams are understandable by professionals in the field No reason

As for flowchart/BPMN/UML: the standardized language communicates.

3.5 · Exclusion

12. For very advanced/specialized engineering, is Visio enough?

Yes, always He is the best Engineering does not exist No: software dedicated to the domain is preferable

Visio is suitable for drawing/documenting in an accessible way.

3.3 · Recall

13. What does a scaled floor plan guarantee?

A correspondence between the drawing and the actual measurements A harmonious color A limited number of pages Smooth animation

The scale links the drawing to the actual measurements: an out-of-scale plan becomes misleading for the layout.

3.5 · Application

14. Why use the technical templates of a domain?

To decorate the diagram To have standardized symbols understood by professionals To avoid connectors To print faster

The technical templates provide the standardized symbols for the field (electricity, processes, network): the diagram is readable by specialists.
