business modeling
Business modeling provides the opportunity to create enterprise applications that reflects the accurate vision of how the business should function. Through the development of a business model, the essence of an organization’s business is captured in a standardized format (using the Unified Modeling Language) that is not dependent on the application that executes its processes. Business processes are then accessible to people that don’t need to understand application development to participate in the development of a new enterprise application system.
The purposes of business modeling are to:
Precisely document the external and internal business processes.
Optimize these processes to yield quantifiable business value.
Describe the essence of the organization's business in a way that can be validated before the requirements and design of new enterprise applications begin.
The business modeling artifacts consist of:
Business Use Case Model (External Business Model) - A set of diagrams and text documents describing interactions between the customer and the business that results in the delivery of products and services.
Business Object Model (Internal Business Model) - A set of diagrams and text documents describing interactions between the staff and the business items that results in the delivery of a product or service.
Business Glossary – Defines the important business terms used in the business modeling workflow of the project.
