– Provide a
formal definition with a Source / Reference for each term
– Simplistically
define in layman terms in order for the term or theory/Concept that
demonstrates you understand as it relates to the powepoint
and here the example
of how u do it..
Emergent Properties
– Emergent Properties are considered a unique property that comes
from components joining together to produce a higher-level aggregate
system.

Property.” Dictionary.com. Accessed 9/1/2015.

Layman term:
Emergent properties are properties of an entire system that could not
otherwise be achieved without each individual component.

CHAPTER 6: THE PROCESSES
VIEW & CHAPTER 7: THE
BUSINESS ENTITIES VIEW
Chapter 6
The Processes View
Business Processes
(Reynolds 51)
▪ “Process = repeatable way of
executing a number of tasks that
achieves a certain goal
▪ Business Processes = reference is to
processes that are internal to the
business, processes that employees of
the business will execute”
Problems with Business Processes
(Reynolds 51 & 52)
▪ “that’s the way we’ve always done it”
▪ Process has not been updated
▪ Created in isolation, missing the ‘big
picture’
▪ Not actually documented
▪ Not aligned
Contents of the Processes View
(Reynolds 53)
▪ Facades = business interactions aligned to
goals → Business use-case realization
▪ Realization = “set of things to be done
internal to your ‘system’ to support the
behavior that you can observe at the
boundary or interface point (stuff you do
inside to support outside reactions)”
▪ Business use case is the unit of business
functionality (the interaction)
Business Use-Case Realization

BPMN
(Reynolds 55)
▪ Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
▪ “Shows how processes can be invoked or
▪
▪
▪
▪
controlled by time trigger or messages
Pools of resources with distinct swim lanes
Swim Lane = visual collection of an actors
steps in one area
Pool = collection of interrelated swim lanes
Message = allows communication between
pools
UML Activity Diagram
(Reynolds 55 & 56)
▪ Solid dot = trigger or start of a process
▪ Oval & = activity that is part of a process
▪ Thick black lines = synchronization point
▪ Diamond = decision point in process flow
▪ Words in brackets = guard condition (=true)
▪ Black dots with circle = end to the process
▪ Arrows = activity flow
▪ Actor = unique swim lanes with all activities

parallelism, * multiple choices)
Communication & Process
(Reynolds 59 & 60)
▪ Object Flow = where in the process a
communication either gets generated,
modified, or consumed
Current State → Future State
▪ Current State → baseline
Variations in the way processes work (people)
Indicate variations (sales processes vary by regions)
1st step understanding the change required
▪ Future State → how business needs to operate
in the future
Iterative potential might-be states to Definitive
Precedent Business and underlying IT systems
Milestone states to roadmap major transformation
Chapter 7
The Business Entities View
Business Entities Definition
(Reynolds 65)
▪ “the information ‘things’ that get manipulated,
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
stored, and acted upon by the business
Entity = Something that has a real existence;
thing; corporeal entities
Business Entity view of the BA model
Every noun is a potentially a business entity
Represents a logical bit of information that the
business cares about
Does someone within the business need to
know, store, or manipulate it = Noun Challenge
UML Business Entities
(Reynolds 66 – 69)
▪ Entities
▪ Relationships
▪ Classes
▪ Common Attributes
▪ Cardinality – # of elements to a set
▪ Generalization relationship (see page 69)
▪ Inheritance – qualities transmitted
▪ Aggregation – collection as a whole
Party Models
(Reynolds 71)
▪ “a business entities model framework that
▪
▪
▪
▪
can be used as a starting point for any
Business Entities view
Lists the common business entities and their
relationships”
Industry specific
Available online
Solves “blank page syndrome” for the Subject
Matter Experts (SME)
Party Model Considerations
(Reynolds 71)
▪ Not a silver bullet or cure all
▪ Model is not enough on its own
▪ Customization required
▪ Takes time to adjust to current state
▪ Proprietary businesses require great
revamping (may want to start from scratch)
