Mapping
Three Techniques:
Top Down
Bottom Up

39
Where Do I Start?
Top-Down
The analysis, breaking down or decomposition of a high level business process (or process grouping)
into its compositional subr-processes and individual process flows according to applicable business
scenarios
40
Where Do I Start?
Bottom-Up
The synthesis or piecing together of existing lower level process flows into larger discreet process
elements which are the grouped into process groupings or areas and then mapped back to Framework
41
Where Do I Start?
Middle-Out
Offers an alternative to the two main approaches described above, it provides a balance between the
top-down (too broad perspective) and the bottom-up (scattered perspectives)

Decomposition
Applying Semantic Analysis: example
Service Problem Management processes perform analysis, decide on the appropriate actions/responses and carry them out with the intent of
restoring normal operation on specific services.
However these activities need to interact with the Problem Handling processes, as the latter have a view on customer impact. Service Problem
Management processes are responsible for informing Problem Handling processes of any potential customer problems. Where the original report
arose as a result of customer problems, the Service Problem Management processes may be coordinated by Problem Handling processes.
