Who needs to be involved?
Scenario 1: Simple Repair Works
Shingles need to be replaced after a storm damage. Direct interaction between house owner and builder since damage is confined and no complex/costly measures are needed.

Scenario 2: Complex Reconstruction Works
Complete house renovation from the ground up. House owner seeks for architect„s advice on most effective measures and state-of-the-art knowledge. Trusts in the architect„s network of skilled builders. Wants the architect to oversee renovation works and lead detailed functional /technical discussions with the builders.

Assumptions and Boundary Conditions
In Scope
 We talk about Solution Manager (“blueprint”) projects and its associated hierarchy of Business Scenario, Business Process and Business Process step  We refer to the BPMN 2.0 specification for visualizing Business Process Flow models. (focus is, given we have the set of BPMN 2.0 elements which shapes best fit our visualization needs)  From a BPMN perspective, we deal with private executable processes and private non-executable processes

 If a swimlanes-like notation is used (e.g., a Collaboration) then a private Business Process will be contained within a single Pool. The Process flow is therefore contained within the Pool and cannot cross the boundaries of the Pool.
 The boundary of a process is a Pool  We use Groups as a visual decorator for categorizing various entities

Hierarchy of Solution Manager “blueprint” projects

A Business Scenario is a set of processes that define a business task in a comprehensive and selfcontained manner. Business Scenario
(Procure-to-Pay)

A Process is a set of logically related activities performed to achieve a business outcome.

A Process Step is an elementary activity performed to accomplish a process. Process
(Purchase Requisitioning)

Process Step
(Create Purchase Requisition)

General Characteristics of “blueprint content”
Context-Driven
Scenario Flow (Process chains): end-end sequence of several Business Processes
 Related to a company‟s business unit, a central function and it can also involve business partners from other companies  Requires one ore more SAP components and possibly non-SAP software

Process Flow: end-end sequence of several Business Process Steps
 Can run across several SAP components and possibly non-SAP software  May occur in one or more Business Scenarios

Process Steps : elementary activity performed to accomplish a process
 Is carried out by the user or the system  Runs in only one software component  Is relevant to implementation and/or operation

BPMN 2.0 Model Types
In Business Process Blueprinting we are primarily interested in Process and Collaboration from BPMN 2.0

BPMN 2.0 conformance: Descriptive
We find the Basic set of BPMN 2.0 elements adequate and elegant for expressing the semantics of SAP Solution Manager content (business scenario, business process, business process step) in a homogeneous way

Proposal for Scenario Modeler
 “Black Box” default view of Scenario Modeler. Can be expanded to show “White box” (details of pool)
Business Process A Business Process B Business Process C

Mapped to Business Process

Expand to view Process details

 To use Pools as Business Processes. We can use the concept of a toggle between a “black box” pool and “white box” pool to switch between non-details and details view

Key Points to Remember
Business Process Blueprinting approach…
 Opens ALM content for non-ALM use cases  Unifies I/O and AGS/Solution Manager on a common notation (BPMN) and semantics  Perfectly fits into ASAP and BPM methodologies

Business Process Blueprinting architecture…
 Built as ABAP Add-On and RCP client (SAP Solution Manager as first shipment vehicle)  Based on flexible REST architecture  Graceful content handling – minimal assumptions on content structures
