Increasing Business Agility using the "Goal-Driven SOA" Process

A SUMMARY OF THE GOAL-DRIVEN IT ALIGNMENT FOR AN AGILE ENTERPRISE Using the OMG's SoaML, MDA and BMM standards

 

 

Summary of the Process

 

This animated version of the Goal-Driven Service Oriented Architecture (Goal-Driven SOA) process illustrates on a short case study how companies can swiftly and coherently react to changes, capitalizing on their business knowledge.

 

Thanks to its reusable goal-driven business architecture components - easily adaptable to changing tactical constraints, the "Goal-Driven SOA" process aims at allowing companies to control execution of their business processes and underlying SOA services then adapt them efficiently to targeted situations.

 

In order to increase business competitiveness by aligning IT system switly and coherently to changing decisions, this presentation illustrates a proactive business / IT bridge from the BMM's "Business Goals" toward "Goal-Driven Services" using the following steps :

 

1.Propagating changes from the Business Goals toward the IT System Components, capitalizing on the Enterprise Business Objects and Capabilities,

2.Modeling impacts of changes on the Business Processes and responsibilities to assign to their actors,

3.Identifying Goal-Driven Services and Use Cases that are to be impacted by changes,

4.Elaborating the backbone of the "Goal-Driven SOA" components that have to support changes,

5.Describing the impacts of changes on the use case and service component behaviours,

6.Integration of these evolutions to the Goal-Driven SOA backbone and tests.
