World Views
Stakeholder Analysis and Relationships
A literature search failed to find useful definitions of Stakeholder Analysis in SeBOK or the INCOSE Handbook. However, definititons in Wikipedia have been used as a basis for identifying stakeholders, their relationship to the Service, and analysing their degree of influence, support and other 'dimensions'. This has been applied to three of the group's Use Cases.
Literature Update
Two papers of interest have been issued by yhe Cambriodge Service Alliance:
Definitions
Further work has been done in harvestins definitions from glossaries of standard texts including
- DoDAF (Service) 'A mechanism to enable access to a set of one or more capabilities'
- Open Group (Server) 'An application component which responds to requests from a client'
The DoDAF use may be regarded as the Service Interface. The Open Group use of 'Server' is from Service Oriented Systems where components which are largely software based are used to build the Service System
Definitions of the term 'Service' from the glossary of various sources now cover the following: Service (Intangible), Service Use, Service System, Service Specification, Service Agreement, Service Interface, Service Component.
Links to STEM
Following correspondance with the INCOSE UK Technical Director, the possible links between the Service work and STEM were discussed. STEM requirements and the potential use of the WG Use Cases will be investigated.
Possible Papers
Papers for submission to IS2016 and as a preliminary ASEC2015 were considered. These could cover the Use Cases, Dimensions, and/or definitions.
Plan
Steve has updated the plan. Mostly to revise the timing to bewtter fit with the effort/rpgress that is being achieved.
