Metrics for Business Rules from Morgan Book

Part of what I promised from today’s conference call. I copied the last four pages of Morgan’s book and put it into an excel spreadsheet. Morgan classifies benefits into categories and maps architecture ilities to those categories.

The spreadsheet shows the complexity and difficulty of categorizing benefits and architectural ilities for business rules.

I am trying to create something similar for BCM by classifying the barriers and promoters for the ilities in our layer model and information pyramid. Next step is to map the results to organizational responsibilities for CEO, CIO, CFO, CTO, CKO (Chief Knowledge Officer), CSO (Chief Security Officer) and COO. This really starts to bump into EAP (Enterprise Architecture Planning).

This is going to take some time to do this. Wish I knew Computational Oragami. (http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~edemaine/) and how to “fold” this out so the “C” level team can understand enough to manage what they need to manage as an executive level team.

PS. I created this spreadsheet in Excel 2003 and opened the file in OpenOffice 1.1 and saved as OpenOffice format and exported to PDF from OpenOffice. I would like to know if there are any backward Excel versioning problems if you run into them. thx
