Details
The 4EM method is comprised of three core elements, which can also be regarded as basic principles and are closely interwoven:
- A defined procedure to modeling using a fixed notation (defined procedure and notation)
- Performance of Enterprise Modeling in the form of a project with predetermined roles (project organization and roles)
- A participatory process to involve enterprise stakeholders and domain experts (stakeholder participation)
These three basic elements of 4EM are supported by appropriate tools and resources, which is illustrated in attached figure:
An important principle of the 4EM approach is its modular structure, providing a self-contained, clearly defined procedure for each different aspect of Enterprise Modeling. However, how these different method components are combined can be decided based on the problem to be solved.
