Abstract
Business Models play a pivotal role in organizations, especially in building bridges and enabling dialogue between business and technological worlds. Complementarily, as Use Cases are one of the most popular techniques for eliciting requirements in the design of Information Systems, Business Goals and Business Rules associate with Business Process Use Cases to compose a Business Model base structure. However, methods for relating Business Processes, Goals and Rules (PGR) are scarce, dissonant or poorly grounded. In this sense, we propose the specification of a method, within a SPEM approach, covering the elicitation of Business Goals and Rules from Process-level Use Cases, and their mapping to a Business Model representation. As a result, a tailorable method for the generation of a solution Business Model, by aligning the resulting trios (PGR) with a Business Model Canvas, is presented and demonstrated in a live project.
