Hold up, did they say 'smart service nodes'? I'm going with D - sounds like someone got a little too clever with the process design!

Yeah, having too many smart service nodes could definitely be causing some issues with the process model.

I agree, D does sound like a potential cause for the low completion rate.

This question's a bit of a head-scratcher. I'd have to say B and D - smart service nodes could really slow things down if there are too many.

That makes sense. Too many smart service nodes could definitely cause some slowdowns.

I believe option C could also contribute to the low completion rate if the days until archival or deletion are set too high compared to other process models.

Whoa, 10%? That's not good. I'm guessing the process is just getting bogged down with errors that the team can't keep up with - option B is my pick.

It could also be that there are too many smart service nodes causing issues, like option D mentions.

Maybe the process instances are just taking too long to complete, like option A suggests.

Could be a combination of both A and B causing the low completion rate.

Option B sounds like a possible cause. The team needs to address those errors.

I agree with Cherrie. Option B could also be a cause if process errors are not being addressed, leading to low completion rates.

I'm gonna go with B and C on this one. A huge deletion window compared to other models could definitely contribute to the low completion.

Hmm, a 10% completion rate is pretty rough. I think the high number of process errors and lack of support response is the likely culprit - option B for sure.
