Abstract

In complex business modelling and software development projects, we often observe that teams focus on those aspects of a system that are well understood or easy to resolve, while a blind eye is turned (consciously or subconsciously) to the actual value and effort drivers – i.e. those components that require higher effort due to their intrinsic value, risk, complexity or uncertainty. In this paper, we introduce a pragmatic approach for highlighting elements of high-level business and system models with visual annotations that mark particular issues, requirements or complexities that would otherwise not immediately meet the eye, and would thus present risks to a project’s successful completion if uncovered too late.
