Linking Business Strategies and System Demands Using GQM+Strategies and Systems Modeling Language

Many businesses align their business goals, IT strategies and system to strengthen the validity of business processes. However, the relationships between goals, strategies and system are often vague. Thus, the level of success derived from their interrelationships may be ambiguous. In addition, adjusting the system to accommodate changing goals and strategies is becoming more and more difficult due to increasing agile development in recent years. By coupling GQM+Strategies and SysML, we propose a framework to systematically associate business requirements and system functions.
