I am heading an initiative with a team of five colleagues
from our business side (commercial, business development, operationl, business
process owner guys), aiming at creating an ORM model expressing how business side
percieves our business.
We are using an iterative approach, where each cycle
contains a working session (where we add on drafts of new corners of the model/business),
consolidating drafts/deltas (where some of us elaborate and fine tunes drafts), review
and approval of deltas and full model.
The challenge for me (and my team) is to be able to differentiate between approved
and draft parts of our model. Our more genericly: be able to differentiate
between parts with different status (could e.g., be as-is part versus to-be
part).
Initially we used the Visio ORM template to model the
first corners of our business. Here we utilized the layers and differently
colored layers to express and visualize approved versus draft bits of the
model.
As the model is growing bigger and bigger, we have now turned to NORMA, as the (obvious)
tool for capturing and holding our model – and have not yet found any way of solving
above mentioned challenge.
Any advise on how we can accomplish that using NORMA features,
would be much appreciated.
Best regards
Kim
