Process Component: Business Modeling

Description

The Business Modeling process component provides process guidance for:

• understanding the structure and the dynamics of an organization in which a system is to be deployed (the target organization)
• understanding current problems in the target organization and identifying improvement potentials
• ensuring that customers, end users, and developers have a common understanding of the target organization
• deriving system requirements needed to support the target organization

Business Modeling efforts can be as simple as gathering some information for minor business improvements, or can be a means of engineering or re-engineering the business processes for an entire organization. The Business Modeling process component provides guidance on how business modeling can be applied in a variety of contexts.
