Been racking my brain trying to square the circle. Came up with this picture (click for larger):
- The rounded rectangles are functions
- The chevrons are true event-driven, linear processes
- See here for discussion of portfolio lifecycles
- The interactions between any two or more chevrons are non-deterministic - shows how linear processes and lifecycles interact to form a value network
- But the entire picture is still a value chain
- Any event driven process may have a corresponding "captive" function, e.g. the process of Resolve Incident requires an Incident Management function.
- Most of the processes may be platformed on a supporting function, but also draw on other functions.
- Configuration Management plays some role in virtually every process.
- I have not used the term "capability" as I find it redundant with "function" at a high level. Thoughts?
