From goals in BPM to a requirement diagram

UML
1

Hi,

Business processes attain specific goals. Can specific goals be considered a requirement? If so how can I link a goal in Business Process Model to a requirement in Visual Paradgm?
Basically, it is because I intend to:

1 – Modeling the processes in a BPM diagram;
2 – Link each of the goals to a requisite;
3 – Then build a requirement diagram;
4 – Then start the traceability of the requirements;

Regards,

Hi ESM,

Thanks for your post. I suggest you create a requirement diagram as sub-diagram of business process model. You will be able to open the requirement diagram easily by “Sub Diagrams” resources icon on the shape. All models create on the sub-diagram (requirement diagram) will become children of the parent model (business process model).

Please visit the following link for further details of elaborate model by sub-diagram:

Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask if there is any further inquiry.
