Generating a RACI table from Use Case Diagram
« on: April 15, 2019, 01:20:25 pm »
I'd like to have very fast (a few clicks) generation of RACI from a Use Case diagram, as in a matrix with all actors as rows, all use cases as columns, and an X for associations between actors and use cases (don't need the R-A-C-I letters).  This would help during real-time modeling workshops with business stakeholders.

My model has actors, use cases and diagrams in 3 different packages.

The standard 'Relationship matrix' menu does not help because it works at package level not diagram level:I have 100s of use cases, actors and diagrams and I cannot filter out or sort by elements present in that specific diagram only.

Does anybody know a workaround?  Thanks!

Hi Richard,

If you can select the rows and columns via queries, you can make the queries (model searches) the mechanism to populate the rows and columns.  We do that.  If you make the searches part of an MDG then they are available to all users;

That way, you completely avoid the package versus Diagram issue.

Use Apply model search to the builder button [...]

HTH,
Paolo
