A Game Prototype for Basic Process Model Elicitation

Abstract

Abstract. We present a first prototype of a simple "modelling wizard". We also explain the ideas and rationales behind it: a first exploration of a new type of modelling tool which uses game-like interaction to guide and support the modeller in the process of modelling. After being played, the prototype game renders the basic information for a formal process representation (for example in BPMN), based on structured input given by a domain expert as she plays the game. Rather than offering substantial support for real modellers at this point, the game merely aims to demonstrate what we believe to be a new direction in thinking about methods and support for enterprise modelling. We also report on our experiences and evaluation of the prototype.

Mobile Collaboration for Business Process Elicitation from an Agile Development Methodology Viewpoint

“…The collaborative ones involve the participation of several people, process actors, managers and analysts who interact with them to seek knowledge about the process activities. While interviews and workshops with process managers remain the most used techniques [16], there are proposals seeking to supplement them with the participation of processes stakeholders and business experts in the construction of the models [18] [19]. Moreover, according to De Laurentiis, business processes elicitation should be done as quickly and efficiently as possible in order to satisfy customer expectations [20], which makes the task even more complex.…”
