The document discusses mapping concepts between Strategy Maps & Balanced Scorecards (SMBSC) and the i* framework. It provides background on SMBSC and i*, describes existing meta-models for each, and proposes specific mappings between corresponding concepts. It also presents a case study application and discusses opportunities and limitations of the mappings. Future work is identified to evaluate the mappings on additional cases and relate SMBSC to other business strategy formulations.

1. Modeling Strategy Maps & Balanced Scorecards using i* Constantinos Giannoulis Jelena Zdravkovic
2. Overview Scope of Work & Motivation Background Mappings Case Scenario Discussion Future work
3. Scope of Work & Motivation Business-IT alignment: Understanding gap Business Strategy unknown to IT Traceability of strategy to IT; changes? Unified Business Strategy Meta-model (UBSMM) Formalize and Unify business strategy formulations Complement existing alignment methods on the strategy side Allow mappings between Strategy and Enteprise models
4. Background Strategy Maps & Balanced Scorecards (SMBSC) Models business strategy Addresses goals across one organization i* Primarily used within RE Addresses goals of actors
8. Includes all elements of Strategy Maps and BSC Generalizes some elements for applicability (Groups) Introduces explicitely user defined groups and perspetives Separates classes and instances (application) Constraints expressed in a structured manner Background: The SMBSC Meta-model
16. i* used for early RE can benefit from strategical input via our mappings, Supports the identification of sets of goals need to be met by particular IT project that influence strategy as inititiatives in SMBSC. Then refined into IT project goals, Both variants of the i meta-model are supported Discussion: on the mappings
17. Measures have not been mapped to i*, though implicitely used when expressing goals in i* originating from SMBSC milestones and targets (e.g. End of 1st year: 1 realized process optimization , etc.), Sequences; objectives, milestones, targets in SMBSC are not supported in i*; Precedence links could facilitate and not result the multiple mean-end links, Means-end links: some variants of i* allow them between goals (i* meta-model), whereas i* wiki does not, Using i* for SMBSC provides orDecompositions (i* meta-model), allowing to express possible alternatives for initiatives, i*s contribution links could be used in SMBSC to identify possible conflicts, synergies, etc. Discussion: overall
18. Evaluate the mappings with cases including both strategy and RE Provide Mappings towards other formalized business strategy formulations, such as the Value Configuration. Future Work
