GQM+Strategies aligns business goals and strategies to help organizations achieve business objectives. Using the initial set of goals and strategies, GQM+Strategies creates a grid, through which the goals and strategies are linked throughout an organization by iteratively determining the lower-level goals and strategies. The GQM+Strategies creates consistency within a vertical refinement tree but cannot handle horizontal relationships from different branches. Hence, horizontal relationships lead to problems, such as redundant investments, inefficient resource utilization, and failure. Horizontal relation identification method (HoRIM) is proposed to handle horizontal relationships. The HoRIM is a grid modification approach that identifies differences between the initial GQM+Strategies grid and a model by interpretive structural modeling (ISM). Herein, we experimentally demonstrate that HoRIM finds about 1.5 times more horizontal relationships than an ad hoc review. Additionally, we show its practicality via a case study involving a real-world application. INDEX TERMS GQM+Strategies, integration of technology and business strategies, interpretive structural modeling (ISM), horizontal relationship, alignment of strategies.

SUMMARYTo achieve overall business goals, GQM+Strategies is one approach that aligns business goals at each level of an organization to strategies and assesses the achievement of goals. Strategies are based on rationales (contexts and assumptions). Because extracting all rationales is an important process in the GQM+Strategies approach, we propose the Context-Assumption-Matrix (CAM), which refines the GQM+Strategies model by extracting rationales based on analyzing the relationships between stakeholders, and the process of using GQM+Strategies with CAM effectively. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the CAM and the defined process, we conducted three experiments involving students majoring in information sciences at two different Japanese universities. Moreover, we applied the GQM+Strategies approach with CAM to the Recruit Sumai Company in Japan. The results reveal that compared to GQM+Strategies alone, GQM+Strategies with CAM can extract rationales of the same quality more efficiently and exhaustively.
