ALIGNING GOAL AND PROCESS MODELS

Arvind Kumar, Suhas Pande

Abstract: Business Process Modeling (BPM) notations such as BPMN are used to effectively conceptualize and communicate important process characteristics to relevant stakeholders. BPMN gives an overview of the entire process of the particular organization but does not contain the notion of business goals and non-functional requirements. On the other hand Agent-Oriented conceptual modeling(AOCM) notations like i* are highly effective in representing requirements from an intentional stance and answering questions such as what goals exist, how key actors depend on each other and what alternatives must be considered but does not have the process flow. In this paper we illustrate, through a case study a methodology that would help all stakeholders to identify, at multiple levels of abstraction, the goals and their corresponding activities in a business environment.

Keywords: BPMN, Goals, Requirements Modelling.
