Enterprise Modelling: Improving the Quality of Requirements Specifications

The core of Enterprise Modelling methodology is the Enterprise Model (EM), that is a system of knowledge, maintained by a software tool. The EM can be regarded as a requirements specification (RS) as well as used as a basis for other forms of its presentation. The framework of the EM reflects different aspects of enterprise and has been found to support and amplify human thinking and reasoning. Quality of the EM is maintained by early and continuous participance of various groups of users of the RS in the Enterprise Modelling activities and by computer-aided quality control procedures. The methodology is suitable for evolving enterprises and applicable also in the area of business re-engineering.
