Alignment between Business Requirement, Business Process, and Software System: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Alignment is a very wide subject that can be used to support an organization’s information system. Many authors have dealt with this topic according to various dimensions, including the operational alignment dimension. Our work aims to review approaches that discuss the operational alignment by reducing the gap between business requirement, business process, and software system. Therefore, this study was conducted by a systematic literature review (SLR). In the first step, we gather 1846 papers relative to the subject. In the last step, we filter those articles and select only the most pertinent ones, which leave us with 63 studies to focus on. These primary studies were analyzed according to 9 quality assessment criteria.

Prevention of Business Risks of Internet Information Security Platforms Based on Blockchain Technology

“…In essence, it is a decentralized database [ 1 ]. In a narrow sense, blockchain is a chained data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order, and a distributed ledger that cannot be tampered with and forged in a cryptographic way [ 2 ]. Broadly speaking, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method that uses blockchain data structures to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithms to generate and update data, uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access, and uses intelligent contracts composed of automatic script code to program and operate data.…”

Alignment of Software System Level with Business Process Level: Resolving Syntactic and Semantic Conflicts

“…In a previous work [17], we proposed a pattern system as a guideline, to help organizations apply the alignment. In addition, a systematic literature review was conducted [18] to present various approaches to the alignment of business requirement, business process and software system levels, that use different modelling languages.…”

Aligning Software System Level with Business Process Level through Model-Driven Architecture

“…In the previous work [15], a pattern system was proposed as a guideline, to help organisations apply the alignment. The systematic literature review conducted by Habba et al [16] identified various approaches of alignment of business requirement, business process and software system levels, that use different modeling languages.…”
