Course outline

Understanding Business Capability - The Service Portfolio is derived (in part) from the set of capabilities offered by, and used by the business. Business Analysts need to provide the Service Planners with

• Event-Response Analysis - relationships between events, capabilities and responses
• Capability Analysis - understanding of the correct granularity of capabilities, and dependencies between them in order to ensure the SOA reflects the degree of coupling inherent in the business
• Business Semantics Internal - understand the business at a semantic level in order to better identify opportunities where Services and capabilities can be shared across the organization
• Business Semantics External - understand the Business Semantic models used by other parties in order to deliver interoperability
• Business Outcomes - describe Services in terms of their post conditions - i.e. the outcome of an activity. Business Analysts also need to understand that the business goal of the Service Consumer can be broader in scope or different to the perspective of the individual Service provider
• Differentiated Response - understand where a Service can provide differentiated behaviour in response to different contexts.

Understanding Business Processes - Service-based Solutions are derived (in part) from an understanding of the business process. The understanding of business processes and solutions also provides another mechanism to understand business capabilities. Business Analysts need to provide Service Planners and Solution Architects with

• Process Collaboration - understand the activity between the participants in a collaborative process in order to identify the Services that need to orchestrated (by each party) in order to achieve the desired outcome
• Business Process Management - understand where there is flexibility in the process to provide or consume alternative Services, and how to drive Service selection through policies

Business Design
