Goal-service modeling

摘要

Software services for a business are identified. The goals for the business to meet its objectives are identified. Sub-goals are then identified recursively until services can be identified for fulfilling each of the sub-goals. Performance indicators are identified for each of the sub-goals. Each indicator has a metric identifying the type of measurements that need to be collected to assess the state of the corresponding indicator. Services and indicators are entered in a services portfolio database. A services solution for the business is then implemented using a services oriented architecture using the services in the portfolio.
