How about a folder for BAs to include BPMN and Business requirement gathering?

Aaaah, slight snag.   The OMG BMM is way different from the Archimate Motivational Model.   There are some similarities in principle though.

Thanks Sunshine.

I will check out your suggestions and see what results. I don't think my EA includes TOGAF.  Archimate is available so I can try that.

General Board / BMM - Business Motivation Model

« on: February 11, 2013, 02:19:40 am »

Has anyone tried to create a BMM in Enterprise Architect?   What kind of diagram is best?

I would like to try drawing two kinds of BMM Model.The first is a simple collection of lists with bullet points. The second is lists that show the links between different instances of each type bulleted item. So for example, it would be easy to see which tactics satisfy a particular strategy ...which goals and objectives prove the strategy and tactics are work ...which Business Rules are covered in which Business Policies etc....essentially a form of completeness check.

The best I have come up with is using text controls on a Mind Map diagram. Frankly, it does not look very presentable and I wondered how others might do the same thing in EA.  

I fear this may be best done in Visio or Powerpoint.  If so can these diagrams be stored and edited through EA?

General Board / Missing ToolBar/ Icon

« on: June 03, 2009, 03:00:51 am »

I have just reinstalled EA and there appears to be a tool or icon missing.  There was an icon at the top which allowed me to place an object on a diagram to show the name, author, version, date etc.
The icon has disappeared.  
How can I get it back ?  I have tried the tool bars and cannot find it...

Many thanks.  
Please could you let me know How  I can link a Use Case to a previously defined Requirement?  (I can see you can make link between the two if the Requirement is defined in the Use Case which is not quite the same thing)

General Board / Autonumber Facility

« on: October 28, 2008, 10:41:11 am »

I believe there is an Autonumber facility in Enterprise Architect.  It does things like number Requirements REQ001, REQ002 etc.  

Where is it and how do I get it to work?  

I cannot find any reference to to in the EA documents.  I believe the facility is used on the EA Demo - WSDLDemo.
