BUSINESS EVENT MODELING
 
 
Business Event Modeling is a technique used for describing, documenting and analyzing the key events of a business.
Event models can be quickly created and validated with business users to (1) identify how the business needs to respond to the key events and enhancements to current systems and processes and (2) to study the life cycle of business entities.

Event modeling identifies the triggers that activate business processes.
This can be used to effectively group business processes into “natural clusters” which can be addressed:

  • Within specific applications (during application development or application portfolio planning).
  • Within single phases of a multi-phase project (during project planning).
  • Within an organizational unit (when doing organizational design).
Analyzing events can also be used for a number of other purposes including:
  1. Identifying the natural business controls needed for the development of user interfaces.
  2. Identifying when data is captured or needed.
  3. To aid in minimizing the throughput time of processes.
  4. To augment object modeling; using life-cycle analysis to ensure that status values accurately reflect the business world.

Course Outcomes:
Students of Advanced Strategies’ Business Event Modeling Course will return to work:

  1. With the skills necessary to discover, model and analyze business events in their environment.
  2. Understanding how event modeling complements both process modeling and object modeling.
