Modeling Strategy Maps and Balanced Scorecards using iStar
Giannoulis C. & Zdravkovic J.

Aligning business strategy to enterprise models requires explicit models from both areas, mapped to each other. Mapping existingbusiness strategy definition approaches to requirement engineering practices improves strategy dissemination towards development. In this paperwe present an illustration of such a mapping using the Strategy Mapsand Balanced Scorecards as a business strategy approach and iStar (i*)as a requirements engineering practice exemplified using a case scenario. (Full paper here)

Abstract: In Model Driven Development (MDD), models replace software code as the development artifact. At the same time, requirements represent the information that is elaborated in models. However, despite the tight relationship between models and requirements, only a few MDD approaches provide the necessary methodological guidelines and tool support to explicitly facilitate this relationship. In this paper, we analyze existing approaches for integrating requirements with models within MDD. Based on the analysis, we elicit a set of general properties that need to be fulfilled when considering the integration of requirements and models, and we assess the contribution of the considered approaches accordingly.
