Defining Enterprise Planning
Defining the start and end events of the enterprise
*An event represents a fact occurring during execution of a process, for example a new contract concluded with a supplier. An event marks the impact on process progress of a phenomenon internal or external to the process. There are different natures of events: start events, catch events, throw events and end events.
*For more details on the events of your repository, see Defining the start and end events of the enterprise
When you create the enterprise, the start and end events are linked by default to the enterprise.
To modify the start and end events of an enterprise:
1. Open the properties page of the enterprise that interests you.
2. Select the Characteristics page.
3. In the Start Event field, select Create a New Event to create the event that marks the start date of the enterprise.
4. In the End Event, section, select Link an End Event of the Enterprise.
5. Select the event that marks the end date of the enterprise.
6. Click OK.
Updating the enterprise stages by default
*An enterprise stage is a past, current or future stage of an enterprise.
When you create an enterprise, two basic enterprise stages are created by default:
• the current ('As-Is') enterprise stage that holds the currently deployed business capability map, the business architecture environment and the solution building blocks;
*The end event of this stage is the intermediate event that defines the 'pivot' transformation benchmark beyond which you are in the 'target' stage
• the target ('To-Be') stage that concerns the business capability map, the architecture environment and the target solution building blocks.
*The start date is the end pivot event of the previous ('As-Is') stage.
To access the enterprise stagesof an enterprise:
1. Open the properties page of the enterprise that interests you.
2. Select the Strategy page.
3. Open the Enterprise Sub-stages section.
The list of enterprise sub-phases appears.
