Issues Descriptions

Inconsistent use of romatting 'red' words (issue?)

  • Key: BMM14-25
  • Status: open  
  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    Chapter 9.2 is a concept dictionary.
    Some words are 'red' because they are keywords in structured English.
    If you look into SBVR 1.4 documentation you can see that when there is 'red' word it has non-serif font.

    If you look at definition 'business policy' in BMM 1.3 you can see that first word 'that' is written using serif font, but second 'and that' is written using non-serif font.
    Others concept has 'red' words written using only serif font.

    What version is correct? Serif or non-serif?

Omission in sentence

  • Key: BMM14-19
  • Status: open  
  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    The 9th dot has sentence:
    'Broader Influencer categorizes Narrower Influencer Category'
    I think there is lack of word 'Category' and the sentence should be 'Broader Influencer Category categorizes Narrower Influencer Category'.

Omission in definition

  • Key: BMM14-8
  • Status: open  
  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    Second definition on page 64 is:
    'broader desired result category categorizes more specific desired result'
    I think there is omission of word 'category' and I think the sentence should be:
    'broader desired result category categorizes more specific desired result category'

Incorrect formating of sentence

  • Key: BMM14-24
  • Status: open  
  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    6th dot is a sentence:
    A problem for on-airport car rental companies is that all the competitors offer similar types of car, and are physically
    lined up in a row. (This Environment is an External Influencer for EU-Rent.) There is very little room for maneuver on
    product, service, or price. (This is a Weakness Assessment.)

    I think that sentence in parenthesis: ('This Environment is an External Influencer for EU-Rent.') should be formated as italic.

Word swap

  • Key: BMM14-23
  • Status: open  
  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    5th paragraf has sentence:
    'The dividing line between ‘minor Strategy’ and ‘major Tactic’ is blurred.'

    But one sentence before there is:
    '...from major Strategies... to minor Tactics...'

    I think there is word swap and the sentence should be:
    'The dividing line between ‘major Strategy’ and ‘minor Tactic’ is blurred.'

Omission in part of defintion

  • Key: BMM14-9

  • Summary:

    On page there is definition of 'fixed asset'.
    The 1st line of definition is:
    'asset that is maintained over time and reused'
    I think there is omission of word 'Definition:' and the whole phrase should be:
    'Definition: asset that is maintained over time and reused'

  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    On Figure 7.3 between CourseOfAction and DesiredResult there is association 'CourseofActionChannelsEffortsTowardsDesiredResult'.
    If you look closer you can see that arrow after name is 'top-down'.
    If you compare Figure 8.7 on page 29 the arrow is directed from CourseOfAction' to 'DesiredResult'.
    I think that arrow on Figure 7.3 has incorrect direction.

kpis, csf, capabilities

  • Key: BMM14-5
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19881
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    I was looking for critical success factors and KPI as proposed to be used by the balanced scorecard approach on page 12 in the meta model. I could not find, however on page 79 with its introduction "Implicit in many areas of the Business Motivation Model is the subject of metrics.". It would be niced to have this somehow vizualized in the meta model. It is unclear to me, what "many" means in this context. If I mentally map the BSC model to what is described in your document I would assume, that their strategy definition overlaps to your >90% and that CSF and KPI from the balanced scorecard only relate to you describe as "courses of action".

    Also it would be nice to see interfaces to other (OMG) models in the document. E.g. TOGAF comes along with "capability" as one of their primary concepts. I find myself to have a hard time to find out, how what you defined as "course of action" relates to what TOGAF calls "capability" and how the maturity of capabilities can be assessed and improved by strongly supporting a courses of action.

Inconsistent use of 'narrower' and 'more specific' in categories' categorization

  • Key: BMM14-18
  • Status: open  
  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    I think there is a problem with inconsistent use of 'narrower' and 'more specific' in categories' categorization.

    On page 72 in table you have these sentences:
    broader assessment category categorizes more specific assessment category ---- BroaderAssessmentCategoryCategorizesNarrowerAssessmentCategory
    broader desired result category includes more specific desired result category ---- BroaderDesiredResultCategoryIncludesMoreSpecficDesiredResultCategory <-->[incorrect word 'includes' I send in another Bug/Issue]
    broader influencer category categorizes more specific influencer category ---- BroaderInfluencerCategoryCategorizesNarrowerInfluencerCategory
    broader organization category categorizes more specific organization category ---- BroaderOrganizationCategoryCategorizesNarrowerOrganizationCategory

    On page 58 you have these sentences:
    Broader Desired Result Category categorizes Narrower Desired Result Category
    Broader Assessment Category categorizes Narrower Assessment Category
    Broader Organization Category categorizes Narrower Organization Category
    Broader Influencer [Category] categorizes Narrower Influencer Category <-->[lacking of word 'Category' I send in another Bug/Issue]

    In section 9.2 'Concepts' you have these main concepts:
    broader assessment category categorizes narrower assessment category
    broader desired result category categorizes more specific desired result [category] <-->[lacking of word 'category' I send in another Bug/Issue]
    broader influencer category categorizes narrower influencer category
    broader organization category categorizes narrower organization category

    And of course Figure 7.3 on page 18.

    So as you can see there is inconsistent use of word 'narrower' and 'most specific'. There is a mix of combinations.
    I know that this is 'almost the same' but I think the whole documentation should have one choosed version.

Normative References section is incorrect

  • Key: BMM14-1
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    It should reference MOF/UML.
    The reference to SBVR should be more specific - at least to the OMG spec page http://www.omg.org/spec/SBVR/, if not a document number - depending on whether it's dependent on a specific version of SBVR (I suspect it is).
    References to commercial dictionaries are not appropriate since I presume any text is copied into this spec, and people do not need to access the dictionary to use/understand the BMM spec.

Remove or update obsolete historical material

  • Key: BMM14-2
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Section 5 has BPDM which is no longer relevant.
    6.1 sentence 1 should not reference the BRG published version.
    6.1 para 2 references the wrong Annexes of SBVR for Structured English. BTW since that's not normative I don't know if other specifications should be relying on it.
    6.2 should remove the list of FTF voting members and reference to Artisan Studio (no longer used AFAIK).
    Annex E is of questionable value. If retained it should include BMM 1.3.
    Figure F.3 does not represent latest SBVR.
    Annex F should remove mention of Organization Structure Model (F.4) which never became an OMG standard. Likewise footnote 2 in Annex D should be removed.
    Annex 8 referecnes are outdated, and many not relevant (e.g. BPDM).

Omission of word 'Category' on association on 'InfluencerCategory'

  • Key: BMM14-15
  • Status: open  
  • Source: none ( Kristof)
  • Summary:

    On Figure 7.3 if you look at class 'InfluencerCategory' you can see association from that class to itself.
    The name is 'BroaderInfluencerCategorizesNarrowerInfluencerCategory'.
    In table in section 9.5 on page 72 line #3 there is UML name 'BroaderInfluencerCategoryCategorizesNarrowerInfluencerCategory'.

    In table in section 9.5 on page 72 line #2 there is UML name 'BroaderDesiredResultCategoryIncludesMoreSpecficDesiredResultCategory'.
    First of all: I think on Figure 7.3 is missing word '...Result...' in association name.
    Second of all: I send this with another Bug/Issue but there is another mistake in table on page 72: 'BroaderDesiredResultCategoryIncludesMoreSpecficDesiredResultCategory' has word '...Include...' instead of '...Categorizes...' but this Bug/Issue is about lacking of word 'Result'

    there is SBVR name 'broader desired result category includes more specific desired result category'

  • Summary:

    I think an additional association, something like "course of action induces desired result" is needed.

Offerings as Assets

  • Key: BMM11-7
  • Legacy Issue Number: 14807
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KnowGravity Inc. ( Mr. Markus Schacher)
  • Summary:

    The definition of an "Offerimg" on page 66 says that is is a "Fixed Asset" that is a spefification of a product or service that can be supplied by the enterprise. On the other hand, on page we see that a "Fixed Asset" is an asset that is maintained over time and reused with examples such as Production equipment, IT equipment, buildings, vehicles, patents, brands, licenses, designs, and people’s skills. So, is an "Offering" not rather an offering of an asset rather than a (relevant) asset in itself?

However, figure 8.20 in section 8.5.2 says that an "Offering" is a direct specialization of a "Asset", which is a generalization of "Fixed Asset". This is redundant (triangular specialization).

    'Internal' and 'external' categories of 'influencer' are:
    · A fundamental categorization for business motivation,
    · Relevant to all organizations
    They should be brought back into the normative model.
    Suggested by Ed Barkmeyer (NIST).
    Resolution:
    Add specializations 'internal influencer' and 'external influencer' of 'influencer' to figure 7.3 (page 18).
    Replace "An enterprise can define whatever Influencer Categories it requires" at the beginning of 8.4.2 (page 39) with the following:
    "Influencers impact an enterprise's employment of means or achievement of ends. There are two built-in categories:
    · External: an influencer that is outside the enterprise's organizational boundaries
    · Internal: an influencer from within the enterprise.
    Beyond these, an enterprise can define whatever Influencer Categories it requires"
    Add "(built into BMM)" after "Internal/External" in the second bullet point below figure G2 (page 98)
    Move the definitions of internal influencer and external influence from Annex G (page 101) to Clause 9 (page 65) and replace them on page 101 with:
    "The categories internal influencer and external influencer are built-in to BMM.
    Categories of external influencer include: competitor; customer; environment; partner; goal
    Categories of internal influencer include: assumption; corporate value; habit; infrastructure; issue, management prerogative, resource"

Restore Primary Reading to "Formulated Based On" Fact Type

  • Key: BMM11-3

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Trisotech ( Ms. Keri Anderson Healy)
  • Summary:

    Source: BRG
    Keri Anderson Healy, Ronald G. Ross
    Summary:
    The 07-08-06 version of BMM now reflects a 'forward' (primary) reading of a fact type that differs from business intent of this association, as expressed in both the BRG BMM and the prose for this assocation (see 8.2.6 Directive, first paragraph on p. 30 (PDF p. 40)).
    It is also possible for the Courses of Action to be formulated based on Directives. For example, the Tactics 'Comply with manufacturer's maintenance schedules' and 'Equalize use of cars across rentals so that mileage is similar for cars of the same car group and age' are both formulated based on the Business Policy 'Depreciation of cars must be minimized'. The Directive thereby serves as the source of the Course of Action.
    Given an understanding of how the BRG developed the prose reading of a model, it is clear which reading of this fact type is the intended primary reading. Here is the mechanistic process that was generally applied:
    · Express the fact type in a prose sentence that states the forward-reading's first concept as the subject, the primary reading phrase as the verb, and the forward-reading's second concept as the object of the sentence.
    · Give example(s).
    · Optionally, state the secondary reading. (Note: when the secondary reading is simply the passive form, omit.)
    From this, it is evident that the intended forward (primary) reading of this fact type is:
    course of action is formulated based on directive
    Indeed, this is the way the entry appeared in an early version of Clause 9 (e.g., dated Aug. 22, 2006).
    Changing the reading of this fact type to have 'directive' be the subject loses an important part of the business message of what is going on in this part of the model. There are two potential relationships between a course of action and a directive, each with a different 'subject', to yield a kind of back-and-forth synergy between the concepts. Depicting the same subject for both fact types loses this part of the message.
    Resolution:
    Restore the original designation of which reading is "primary" so that both the Concepts Catalog entry and the UML derivitaves are correct and consistent with the prose and the business intent of this fact type.
    Revised Text:
    In 9.1, p. 59 (PDF p. 69), change the entry that currently reads:
    directive is source of course of action
    Synonymous Form course of action is formulated based on directive
    to read:

  • Summary:

    In response to some SBVR FTF issues, changes have been made to SBVR that affect business rule (adopted from SBVR by BMM) and business policy (adopted from BMM by SBVR). A minor update of BMM is needed to keep it consistent with SBVR Summary of relevant SBVR changes: The resolution of SBVR Issue 9477 caused the verb concept (unary fact type) 'directive is actionable' to be replaced by two verb concepts with narrower definitions: • 'element of guidance is practicable': this is concerned with ensuring that business rules are sufficiently well-defined and precise that they can be put directly into practice. • 'element of governance is directly enforceable': this is concerned with ensuring that violations of operative business rules can be detected and corrected. This separation of concerns is relevant to BMM. If desired results for an enterprise are not being achieved, there could be two causes related to business rules: 1 The enterprise does not have the right business rules. 2 The enterprise and, particularly, the people in the enterprise are not applying the rules correctly. Before challenging whether the business rules are the right ones, it would be important to establish that the rules were being applied as they were intended to be. To establish this, the rules must be enforceable. A resolution of this issue has been drafted, and will be distributed to the BMM FTF when the relevant SBVR changes have been finalized

  • Reported: BMM 1.0b2 — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — BMM 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    The resolution is:
    · To align BMM definitions of 'directive' and 'business rule' with corresponding definitions in SBVR, using "practicable" and "directly enforceable" instead of "actionable".
    · Not to adopt additional structure from SBVR into BMM, but to add some explanatory notes.
    The rationale is that 'business rule' in BMM is a placeholder (like 'business process' and 'organization unit'). In an enterprise's BMM an instance of 'business rule' would be a reference to a business rule that is defined in a model of the operational business.
    In an integrated set of OMG business models, the operational model for business rules would be SBVR-based. Business rules would be connected to the fact types they are based on, the representations owned by speech communities, etc.
    But businesses can use BMM without having to use SBVR. Operational models do not have to be SBVR-based. This "loose coupling" is one of BMM's strengths, and it can be adequately supported by a 'business rule' placeholder. It does not need additional concepts (see discussion below), such as 'element of governance', 'operative business rule' and 'structural business rule' to be adopted into BMM from SBVR.

    Adding these new concepts is beyond the scope of an RTF, but much of what is wanted could be accommodated by supporting stakeholder-defined categorization of Desired Result in addition to the built-in categories Goal and Objective. The BMM already does this for other specializations of Motivation Element - Influencer, Influencing Organization and Assessment.
    Stakeholders could then create categories of Desired Result, such as ‘quality’, ‘service level’ and ‘cost/benefit’, and categorize some of them as KPIs.

Incomplete Application of Closed Issue 10113 - Actionable to Practicable

  • Key: BMM12-8
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16005
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Trisotech ( Mr. Ron Ross)
  • Summary:

    Description

    The very first sentence of the resolution to closed issue 10113 says: "The resolution is: · To align BMM definitions of 'directive' and 'business rule' with corresponding definitions in SBVR, using "practicable" and "directly enforceable" instead of "actionable". ..."

    I find two instances of "practicable", both in the current definition of business rule:

    business rule
    Definition directive that is practicable
    Note ‘Practicable’ means that a person who understands a directive could observe a relevant situation (including his or her own behavior) and recognize directly whether or not the business was complying with that directive.

    It looks like to me, the voted resolution of Issue 10113 was simply not propagated to the remainder of the text. I find 10 instances of the word "actionable". All seem to be in explanatory text, not definitions. Here is one example in section 8.2.9. This text is in exact contradiction with the definition above.

    Business Policies provide broader governance or guidance that is not directly actionable. Business Rules provide specific, actionable governance or guidance to implement Business Policies. 'Actionable’ means that a person who understands a Business Rule could observe a relevant situation (including his or her own behavior) and decide directly whether or not the business was complying with the rule.

    Proposed Resolution: Change all 10 instances of "actionable" to "practicable".

Should BMM include business rules, decisions, both, or neither

  • Key: BMM12-1
  • Legacy Issue Number: 11812
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Knowledge Partners, Inc. ( Paul Vincent)
  • Summary:

    At the BMI meeting on 10Dec07/Burlingame, there was a discussion on decision modeling and its relationship to existing modeling needs and standards. An action from the meeting was to raise the question of whether business decisions per se should be defined in BMM alongside, or instead of, business rules, or whether business motivation per se should be independent of business decisions (and/or business rules).

    {This was considered a possible issue for a BMM v2 RFP, but I am raising it with the RTF on the basis that it is up to the RTF to determine whether any “issue” is for a future version or not.}

    [From my understanding of BMM v1.2, processes are defined outside of BMM, and probably decisions are related more to processes and are guided by business rules / driven by policies.]

    Caveat: this is going to be difficult to answer without a formal definition of a decision model. And I am not going to define one at this stage of discussions! J

    However, it is probably safe to assume that a Decision Table (which I define as a table of conditional elements with some action as a conclusion, rather than the fact definition type of “Decision Table” that Donald was telling me is defined as a part of SBVR) is an instance of a Decision Model. And that you invoke decision tables (and services) in process activities in order to direct processes (and services). But decisions may be defined separately from process, of course, although their “execution” (manual or automated) context is probably always going to be in a process of some kind.

    Disclaimer: this issue may be subject to revision as the terminology is refined.

    2 cents of Comment: I think the answer is “yes, decisions are related to motivation but are not part of motivation”. I will leave to others the discussion on whether (SBVR type) business rules are part of motivation or a simply related to motivation.
