Gap Between TI and Business model.

[Naoki]

What is the area of knowledge that implements the business model into the software?
What is the best instrument to transcript the business process into something a programer can undestand ?

[David Filip]

Area is business process management/modelling and there are many tools to use them. Take a look on BPMN, control data flow diagram, IDEF, Event-driven Process Chain or activity diagram (UML).

Friend of mine wrote thesis on this topic and he recommends BPMN and you can use BigAgi software (http://www.bizagi.com/) for this. For BPMN there is wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Process_Modeling_Notation

Thanks David..
Its an interesting article about BPMN, Iam only not sure if there is tecnologies available to implement 100% of BPMN diagrams.
Ive read that BPEL cannot execute some sub-processes written in BPMN models.
Thanks for the help.

thesis is written in Czech language, so it will be probably unreadable for you.

Human brain nothing can beat it i guess :-))

You can use Functional Document (prepared by a functional analyst)prepared based on business requirement document and then bring together technical lead and business analyst and do a gap analysis.

This makes sure that every one is on same page.

If i have understood your question incorrectly and you are asking about some software let me know.

Thanks

Hi Naoki,

Have you checked at Domain-specific modeling (DSM) that enables to model the domain itself in terms that makes sense to the business person. Check out the company MetaCase that provides a tool MetaEdit that is a pretty cool way to model the business... UML is very generic and tries to solve all modeling problems, while DSM is meant to take care of the domain itself. The site has also lots of took materials that tells you what it is.
