DAF — BPMN issue -- D (On behalf of M. Haus)

The BPMN diagrams do not show the inputs and outputs for the activities in section 9. For example, the diagram in section 9.2.1 lists all inputs and outputs as artifacts even though there are several.
"The inputs of this activity are

• Product Plan provided by upper level processes including Planning,
• Incident Reports from the Problem flow, and
• Development results from the Evolutionary Development Process consisting of the Difference Analysis activity and the Impact Analysis activity."
  Is there any way to show these (and all other) inputs and outputs on the process diagrams? It would help make them standalone. Artifacts seems to be very little to go on.

Inputs

Those inputs specified in the spec are just examples and we do not think they should be included in the BPMN diagrams. We will explain those are examples in the main text instead as follows. Likewise, all the descriptions related to inputs and outputs are going to be modified accordingly.

OLD :
The inputs of this activity are

• Product Plan provided by upper level processes including Planning,
• Incident Reports from the Problem flow, and
• Development results from the Evolutionary Development Process consisting of the Difference Analysis activity and the Impact Analysis activity.

NEW :
As examples of inputs, they are the following documents;

• Product Plan provided by upper level processes including Planning,
• Incident Reports from the Problem flow, and
• Development results from the Evolutionary Development Process consisting of the Difference Analysis activity and the Impact Analysis activity.
