RE: [dcml-frame] Definition of Process Subgroup

Darrel,

 

I 
would like to see a focus on the definition of services as in SOA.  For the 
most

part 
we want. to define interfaces to services.  I would characterize these 

services as aligning to business functions where a business function 
will

receive various forms of requests to accomplish specific 
objectives.  Think

of 
this like Purchasing accepting purchase orders but also related 
things

like 
purchase amendments, requests for quotations, etc.

Subject: [dcml-frame] Definition 
  of Process Subgroup
Importance: High

  

  

  
Hello All,

  
 

  
Here is the revised work strategy of the Process 
  Subgroup.  Please review.  Sarah, when we get good feedback, 
  we'll put up for 
  voting…

The Process subgroup is tasked with defining the 
  standard processes, interdependencies, and requirements for the 
  Interfaces/Implementation Subgroup to use to create DCML standard 
  implementations and reference models.  This include the definition of 
  inputs and outputs, best practice workflows and process flows, and 
  inter-process dependencies from one targeted process framework to another. 
   The initial work of the Process Subgroup will center around the 
  interactions and interdependencies of the Configuration Management Process, 
  its workflows, and orchestration of domain-based management within the IT 
  Services lifecycle.  The output of this work effort will be the 
  specifications, requirements, process diagrams, and process flows used by the 
  Interfaces group to codify the standard interfaces of the CfM Process and its 
  interactions, inputs and outputs, as well as reference implementation of a 
  multi-layered CfM process within a working model.

  
 

  
 

  
Future prospective processes to be defined and mapped 
  include:

  
 

  
·         
  The Processes of the ITIL Process 
  Framework (Change, Release, Incident, Problem, etc.)

  
·         
  Service-Oriented Processes 
  (

  
·         
  Business Processes

  
Outputs from the mapping and modeling work by the 
  Process subgroup will include:

  
 

  
-        
  Process diagrams and models 
  outlining each process to be implemented by the Implementation/Interfaces 
  subgroup

  
-        
  Use cases to accompany process 
  models and diagrams, as well as prescriptive relevance to industry 
  usage

  
-        
  Specifications on 
  interrelationships for a process to other processes

  
-        
  Other interfaces and dependencies 
  on non-process oriented artifacts, if any, to accompany process 
  outputs

  
-        
  Detailed description and 
  definition of process to be mapped/modeled

  
-        
  Detailed project plan with 
  milestones and dates

  
-        
  User Guides and 
  Documentation
