Mapping from technical model to business model

Hi all,

this is more a conceptual question about your best practises than a programming question.

Our development process is the following:

Our in-house customers are developing a business modell using the modeller.

Out development team is creating a technical model of the same business model. We have several processes to model the business model, for instance to avoid implementing loops in the process instead of just letting the process fail and restarting it.

One reason why we chose Activity was that we could easily visualize the current state of the process and show the progress to the customer.

However, given the current approach, we could only visualize the technical process, but not the one developed by the customers.

Are there any best-practice approaches to tackle this problem? If possible we would like to show the progress using the business model, not our technical model.

Has anyone of you successfully implemented a similar scenario?

Best regards

Georg

Hi,

How would you map the technical BPMN 2.0 XML process execution to this business model?

Hello Tijs, that's precisely my question. How can you visualize the execution of the technical implementation of your business process using the business process modelled by the user/domain expert side.

Hi,

That depends on how much these models differ. If they have the same task elements I would see it's not so hard.
But it's definitely something that requires a custom implementation. It's not supported by Activiti out-of-the-box.

Does anybody on the forum here have experience with this or are there any best practice guides regarding this matter?
