Project Organization and Roles

Abstract

The ability to carry out Enterprise Modeling in practice requires not only the basic methodological knowledge covered in Chaps. 7 and 8, but also suitable project organization in the enterprise in question. This chapter describes how a 4EM project should be set up in practice, including both the roles involved in the project team and the organizational prerequisites in the enterprise in question. It also illustrates typical project phases and discusses options for implementing the participatory approach. The principles and recommendations presented here apply to other EM approaches that share the same overlying philosophy of multi-perspective and participatory modeling.
