Other Methods and AM
- Some Assertions are the assessment of a Capability from BIZBOK.
- Some Assertions express information from a Process from BPMN
- Some Asserions are a Business Requirement for an Implementation
- Most Assertions could be categorized as TOGAF and Archimate elements
- A subset of Assertions to be Implemented can define an Agile Sprint
- When an Assertion is emited to its connectors it is a Business Event
BIZBOK
BIZBOK addresses a strategic perpective of an organization. It aims to align with other parts of traditional Enterprise Architecture.
BIZBOK’s core elements provide a powerful language for subdividing and expressing value in an organization.
AM aligns with BIZBOK in the sense that Assertions are used to to assess the status of the capability, perhaps in comparison to a target.
Currently Assertionizer supports tagging Assertions as Capability Assessments and can build the Capability Map from these assertions.
BPMN
BPMN addresses tasks to be performed in sequence, but also supports information flows. A range of elements such as gateways make learning a challenge.
As practiced the information is a side-thought. Pools and Lanes are used to represent roles and AM Authorities partly align with these, but AM stresses more of a concept of responsibility for a decisions and delivering it.
Assertionizer can align with a BPMN diagram with a Perspective that shows the Authority.
Business Requirements
A number of Requirements approaches such as BRD, Agile, etc are used.
Assertions align closely with Requirements and a User Story can be generated by the Assertionizer software. AM supports more detailed data design of the information produced.
See the example of Requirements in the AM Example Model of Recruitment.
