Business Motivation Modelling with Sparx EA (2 days)

Overview

OMG Business Motivation Modelling provides an effective way to capture the key expectations and decisions of key C-level executives, as well as key constrains and regulations. Conducting BMM is perhaps the toughest test for a Modeller: to be successful, Business Motivation Model should be partially owned by high-level executives of the enterprise, the category of people that are usually very far from visual modelling. However, when implemented correctly, Business Motivation Modelling can:

• Establish effective communication with enterprise decision-makers;
• Deliver sought-after Business-IT alignment;
• Enables highly effective project initiation and assessment;
• Provide a platform for justifying, choosing and guiding SOA implementation;
• Re-gain lost sponsorship and focus for a major transformation undertaking;
• Add strategic angle to Business Analysis activities.
