Purpose
This report is used as a binder to present the business analysis model to various people interested in the results of business modeling. This report is not an artifact that is maintained in itself; rather it is a useful format for presenting the content of the business analysis model. If possible, it should be automatically generated to reduce the unnecessary labor required to copy and paste everything into the document.
Stakeholders, business-process analysts and business designers use the survey to review and discuss the model and understand the effect of potential changes on the organization. Systems analysts, software architects, designers and testers use the survey to understand the context of the software system they are developing.
Brief
Outline
1. Introduction
An Introduction to the business analysis model.
2. Business Systems
This section presents the business systems hierarchically, explains
the dependencies among them, and shows the content of each business system recursively. If the model has several levels of
business systems, those at the
top-level are presented first. The business systems within these are presented
next, and so on, all the way down to the business systems at the bottom of the
hierarchy. For each business system include:
- Its Name.
- A Brief Description.
- A list of any responsibilities that have been defined by the business system.
- A list of the business workers, business entities and business events owned by the business system, including name and a brief description.
- A description of how the business system responsibilities are carried out by the contained elements.
- A list of the relationships owned by the business system, including the name and a brief description of each relationship.
- A list of the business systems directly owned by the business system, each presented in the same hierarchical manner as above.
3. Diagrams of the business analysis model
The diagrams, primarily class diagrams, of the entire business analysis
model
