Capturing process data alongside a process diagram
« on: July 13, 2011, 10:00:39 pm »
I am looking to build a business process data model, alongside a business process.  The purpose of this is to calculate the cost of a process and I would look to capture things like the duration of activities, % of flows down different streams at gateways, costs of roles.

Has anyone done this within EA?  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this, aside from maintaining a separate spreadsheet?

Thanks,

Ian

If you want to calculate costs, time etc. then you could add extra tag values and generate RTF with tables then copy and paste into excel. Maybe add the tag values using a script rather than manually doing it.

To calculate costs of different paths through the process you could use filters. Maybe use keywords or some other field to identify what path the activity belongs and then filter on keywords field. For instance for path 1 all activities have  the value "1" in the keywords. Similarly for path 2 all activities have "2" in the keywords field. Where  activities are in both paths have "1,2". You get the idea ;).
