Subject: RE: [soa-blueprints] Microsoft Motion Modeling Methodology (M*4?)
Anyone have any insights on this? http://weblogs.asp.net/omagnusson/archive/2005/07/28/420856.aspx Microsoft Motion Business Modeling Methodology At the Tech Ed 2005 Europe Architecture pre-con Beat Schegler and Arvindra Sehmi talked about a methodology framework that MCS have been working on called Motion which is supposed to be: "The Motion Methodology uses the concept of Business Capabilities to model a business. A Capability describes the what, not the how. A Capabilities Model abstracts structural information (capabilities and connections) separately from dynamic information (processes)" Motion decomposes the whole business into capabilities on many levels of granularity ( level 1-3), where level 1 represents core business capabilities (eg. Warehousing), level 2 represents capability groups (eg. Manage Products/Orders) and level 3 represent the business capabilities (order products, track etc. ). Each business capability then has 80 attributes which describe it, such as who owns it, input and outputs, best practices and exceptions. On top of this we then layer our business processes. which manage and orchestrate messages going between these business capabilities. The Framework is supposed to come with a complete set of deliverables templates and tasks and a unique "go in, go up, go out" approach to modeling these business capabilities and processes, FAQs, case studies and the while shebang. When goggling around for this, I've not been able to come up with anything so far. Are there any news on this, when this will be released and to whom ? Will it be publicly available like MSF or only to partners ? I can see the tooling for this going hand in hand with DSL tools in the future. posted on Thursday, July 28, 2005 1:30 PM
