New, disruptive technologies emerge daily, changing the world as we know it: how we learn, work, and socially interact. This ever-changing scenario pushes organisations to quickly adapt not only their products and services but also their structure and strategies to survive and thrive. As has been widely studied, aligning information technology to high-level goals is key for an organisation to adapt quickly to its environment. Model-driven development (MDD) methods have contributed to this by systematically including business goals in the software development process, providing traceability, quality and efficiency through model-to-model transformations. Yet, existing MDD methods have not included organisational strategy and structure in the development process. This thesis integrates organisational information into a baseline MDD method composed of the OO-Method, an object-oriented model-driven development method, and Communication Analysis, a communication-oriented business process modelling method. The baseline MDD method is extended by the main contributions of this thesis: LiteStrat, an organisational modelling method, and Stra2Bis, a method for designing strategically aligned business processes. LiteStrat supports modelling the external influences that drive new software development endeavours and the strategy and organisational structure to address such influence. Stra2Bis integrates LiteStrat and Communication Analysis through three model-to-model transformation guidelines, generating the scaffold of business processes aligned with the organisation's structure and strategy. Sound experimental validations were performed to assess the methods' improvements in completeness and accuracy and their effect on the method users' efficiency and satisfaction. Further work regards implementing the methods into industrial contexts and their continuous evolution. v
ResumCada dia sorgixen noves tecnologies que canvien el món tal com el coneixem: com aprenem, treballem i ens relacionem. Aquest escenari porta a les organitzacions a adaptar ràpidament no sols els seus productes i servicis, sinó també la seua estructura i estratègies per a sobreviure i prosperar. Com s'ha estudiat àmpliament, alinear la tecnologia de la informació amb objectius d'alt nivell és clau perquè una organització s'adapte ràpidament al seu entorn. Els mètodes de desenvolupament dirigits per models (MDD) hi han contribuït en incloure els objectius de negoci en el procés de desenvolupament de programari, proporcionant traçabilitat, qualitat i eficiència mitjançant transformacions de model a model. No obstant, els mètodes MDD existents no han inclòs l'estratègia i l'estructura de l'organització en el procés de desenvolupament. Aquesta tesi integra la informació organitzacional en un mètode MDD existent compost per OO-Method, un mètode MDD orientat a objectes, i Anàlisis de Comunicacions, un mètode de modelatge de processos de negoci orientat a la comunicació. A ells, s'integren les principals contribucions d'aquesta tesi: LiteStrat, un mètode de modelat...
