History
Initially developed by the Business Rules Group (BRG), in September 2005, the Object Management Group (OMG) voted to accept the Business Motivation Model as the subject of a Request for Comment (RFC). This meant that the OMG was willing to consider the Business Motivation Model as a specification to be adopted by the OMG, subject to comment from any interested parties. Adoption as an OMG specification carries the intention that the Business Motivation Model would, in time, be submitted to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as a standard. In August 2008 version 1.0 was released by OMG. In May 2015, version 1.3 of BMM specification was released and as of May 2015 it is the latest stable release.Elements
"BMM captures business requirements across different dimensions to rigorously capture and justify why the business wants to do something, what it is aiming to achieve, how it plans to get there, and how it assesses the result." The main elements of BMM are: * Ends: ''What'' (as opposed to ''how'') the business wants to accomplish * Means: ''How'' the business intends to accomplish its ''ends'' * Directives: The ''rules'' and ''policies'' that ''constrain'' or ''govern'' the available means * Influencers: Can cause changes that affect the organization in its employment of its means or achievement of its ends. Influencers are ''neutral'' by definition. * Assessment: A ''judgment'' of an Influencer that affects the organization's ability to achieve its ends or use its means.Referenced
