Hasn't Rational XDE been covering that one?
[Marchant, Dan
R.] Yes but it doesn't have microsoft's plan for world domination in
mind. Starbucks and Microsoft should probably merge at some
point.

This
is old news. Visio has been doing UML models since they bought
it.
The concept of linking that to a .NET IDE is cool
IMO.

I believe that you may be very close based on
what I have seen.

I believe this is the major tool initiative
they are working on for the
end of the year or q1 next year
release.
Think of RUP with a microsoft toolset and microsoft framework
applied to
it.
That is basically what they are looking at doing I
believe.
But I can neither confirm or deny this
:)

Anyone have any insights on this?

Microsoft
Motion Business Modeling Methodology
At the Tech Ed 2005 Europe
Architecture pre-con Beat Schegler and
Arvindra Sehmi talked about a
methodology framework that MCS have been
working on called Motion which
is supposed to be:
"The Motion Methodology uses the concept of
Business Capabilities to
model a business. A Capability describes the
what, not the how. A
Capabilities Model abstracts structural information
(capabilities and
connections) separately from dynamic information
(processes)"
Motion decomposes the whole business into capabilities
on many levels of
granularity ( level 1-3), where level 1 represents
core business
capabilities (eg. Warehousing), level 2 represents
capability groups
(eg. Manage Products/Orders) and level 3 represent the
business
capabilities (order products, track etc. ). Each business
capability
then has 80 attributes which describe it, such as who owns
it, input and
outputs, best practices and exceptions.
On top of
this we then layer our business processes. which manage and
orchestrate
messages going between these business capabilities.
The Framework is
supposed to come with a complete set of deliverables
templates and tasks
and a unique "go in, go up, go out" approach to
modeling these business
capabilities and processes, FAQs, case studies
and the while
shebang.
When goggling around for this, I've not been able to come up
with
anything so far. Are there any news on this, when this will be
released
and to whom ? Will it be publicly available like MSF or only to
partners
?
I can see the tooling for this going hand in hand with
DSL tools in the
future.
