What's Your Baseline?
США
Добавлен 13 ноя 2021
Have you ever been confused by jargon-y architect language? Things like "TOGAF", "BPMN", and "UML" - what do they mean, and why do they matter? Or suffered through a system implementation that had a lot of upfront planning, but ended up with scope creep?
Welcome to What's Your Baseline? where we explore these topics and more. We, Roland Woldt and J-M Erlendson, are architecture and process management experts with decades of experience. Our perspective comes from working at platform vendors, large consulting firms, and GSIs.
We’ll be diving into a topic that is relevant for you. What it is, why it’s interesting and why you should care. We’ll also share stories from the road - how to implement best practices, and their value. We'll also bring in fresh perspectives from some of our favorite thought leaders through live interviews!

Ep. 79: GRC From a Process Perspective
GRC - three letters that scare a lot of people. So much that they like to avoid thinking of risks and compliance at all.
But don’t be afraid (quite the opposite), GRC can not only be an addition to your artifacts to make them better, they can also benefit to your program by “having the ear” of influential people in your organization … who, by coincidence, can generate budget out of nowhere, it seems.
And we are happy to welcome Michael Schank (again) who has worked in that space in the financial industry for years.

Ep. 78 - EA Use Cases
Просмотров 6721 день назад
I know that this might be a cultural issue, but I don't see a lot of planning when it comes to projects anymore. Everything is "Agile" and I don't see that things are seen through that often. Which is bad, because one of the promises of EA (and BPM) is that someone understands how things are wired up and what to change, so that you accomplish your objective - which should always be business-dri...
Ep. 77 - Mergers & Acquisitions: Luca de Risi and Nick Reed
Просмотров 81Месяц назад
There was a big splash in the Enterprise Architecture tool market a few weeks ago - BizzDesign announced that they will merge with Mega and an unnamed third party (which we will learn about in Q4 soon, but cannot name here at this time). But why these two (three) players and why now? Since we know some people in the industry, I reached out to Luca de Risi from Mega and we quickly came up with t...
Ep. 76 - EA/BPM Misconceptions: Caspar Jans & Russell Gomersall
Просмотров 63Месяц назад
Oh, why do I need a special EA/BPM tool? I am managing my apps in a spreadsheet just fine. That is one of the misconceptions that I have heard over the last twenty-something years of me helping clients to stand up practices and increase their EA/BPM maturity. And there are tons more of those ... Well, our first guest doesn't need an introduction since he has been on the show already: Caspar Jan...
Ep. 75 - Business Architecture for New Products: Mike DeCamp
Просмотров 522 месяца назад
Do you need Business Architects when creating a new product? Isn't that a bit redundant when you have highly-paid Product Managers already? Or is there an overlap between the two that will create a better product for the end users, but also for the organization because they can better support it and it is aligned with the underlying process. Our guest this week is Mike DeCamp, who has over 15 y...

The PCF is good to glance at to refer to what a functional silo should be covering, but it fails to communicate what bpm is all about = working cross functionally and there are no other resources APQC have (unless you are a member) that accounts for cross functional work
It is called the PROCESS classification framework, not the Capability or Data classification framework, with respect to Moritz.
Some really really great questions from the host, simple, honest and practical. I studied a lot of APQC material at the start of the year, still I find the content and the PCF itself hard to engage with and I personally couldn’t transition the theory into action. The PCF levels are not actually logically hierarchical, they are just logically grouped, meaning you could take out a Process Group from Category 1.0 and file it under Category 2.0 under the process you end up making and so on. Seeing how the PCF can be used to create End to End processes (the how) would be a big help to understanding how the PCF is actually used and how this translates inti physical tangible action, but the E2E content is behind an expensive membership paywall, you can’t even view one for a taste.
I can't think of anything that could go wrong
Right??? 😅
Sure let's beg for less control over our lives, thats amazing
Roland here - i hear what you say, and feel the same way. But i also think that it is inevitable...
Had to look up SIPOC ;)
:-)
I'm with team EPC. I'm not a professional process mapper but recently had an experience with a professional process mapper who used BPMN and we ended up getting hung up on roles (e.g. receiver of the task or doer of the task etc)...it's a bit hard to explain and this was because we had the swimlanes and struggled because events can be described within the context of the doer. I can see why the IT community would prefer BPMN but for someone who uses PM for role clarity, conflict resolution, business analysis I think the EPC approach works much better.
Roland here -I think that ship has sailed. i don't see any client asking for anything else but BPMN.
Super informative video coming from two people with great industry knowledge. Thanks for the content, +1 new subscriber and will watch your back catalogue.
Thank you :-)
"Six Sigma Champions are con men" “All you have is smoke and mirrors” - Creator of Six Sigma, Mikel Harry 91 % of Six Sigma companies have trailed the S&P 500 (Qualpro survey). An 8 yr study at Ford showed an average of 1 in 5 parts defective AFTER improvement for “successful” Six Sigma projects. Six Sigma is a destructive scam based on pure farce. It started with Mr Bill Smith and his out-of-control molding process that happened to drift “as much as 1.5 sigma”. Smith buddy, con man Harry, “proved” Smith disaster happened for every process ... based on the height of a stack of discs! Most folk never bothered to check. “Neutron” Jack Welch at GE described Harry as a “madman” and said no one had any clue what he was talking about. Jack handed over $1B anyway. A scam was born! GE has now thrown the Six Sigma trash out. EVERY aspect of Six Sigma is worthless, from its normalization nonsense, to its irrelevant enumerative methods, to its paralytic DMAIC. Dr Wheeler, the world’s leading process statistician, calls Six Sigma “GOOFY” and the stuff of “the tooth fairy”.. CBS calls it the most stupid fad of all time. There is never justification to stray from the giants of Quality Dr Shewhart, Professor Ishikawa, Professor Lewis, Professor Deming, Dr Taguchi and Dr Wheeler, for the lunacy of Six Sigma’s con man. How the Six Sigma fraud was started: ruclips.net/video/0kZbJLHK_4M/видео.html Lean was tacked on to prolong the Six Sigma Scam. 98% of LSS implementations FAIL (IW survey)
I'd love to have a longer conversation with you about this - but when I looked up the quote and stats, all I found was a history of you commenting this exact same comment on everything from professional websites to book reviews to personal achievement posts as far back as 2005! So let's chat. You clearly hate Six Sigma. Why? What about this methodology irks you so?

Thanks for the break down J-M and Roland, this is interesting. I have to say, I'm team Roland with BPMN. I'm new to the industry but it just seems to make more sense, especially when it comes to very complex models, as it can all stay nice and tidy.. I'm going to throw loads of questions at you both i hope you dont mind... Do you find that EPC will always come before BPMN, given it is focusing on executive level broader organisation topics, then you would utilise BPMN to understand specific processes within? Can you link/relate EPC diagrams and BPMN diagrams together, if circumstance calls for both being needed - Using VIsio or Lucid or Miro? I totally appreciate the point of keeping it simple for the client, especially as they dont know the difference between events, elements, sub processes etc... OR even really care how the sausage is made, they just want the outcomes delivered. BUT i really don't want to have to make a simple version on MS Powerpoint or miro etc..) So what would you do? Thanks a bunch guys, i will be making my way through your content, catch you later.
Hey Elliot, this is Roland. Let me try to answer your questions: EPC was *the* standard for the 90s and 2000s (especially in the context of ERP implementations that happened a lot at these times), and people got used to it. Starting around 2010 BPMN took off and became the standard that it is today ... I wrote a lot about this at that time and you can find that on our website, for example here: www.whatsyourbaseline.com/2010/11/learning-bpmn-1-what-is-bpmn/ Back then EPC was seen as the "business notation" and BPMN as the technical notation, and was treated like this in approaches like "Model to Execute" from Software AG at the time. However, by now I think it is safe that you can use BPMN only (and J-M will disagree 🙂) . The one thing that I would recommend is to keep the symbol palette simple for business users and viewers to make it easy to follow the process flow - with or without swimlanes. Re: linkage - IMHO you should use a proper architecture tool instead of the tools you mention (have a look here for part 1 of 2 - www.whatsyourbaseline.com/2021/05/selecting-an-enterprise-architecture-tool-part-1/). In those tools you technically can connect both model types, even though they do it differently: EPC has a dedicated "process interface" symbol, while in BPMN you need to navigate using shared events (what I like to do is to change the config and allow assignments of other BPMN models to events in BPMNs, even though that is not 100% kosher from a method perspective, but makes things super convenient for users). Either way, I would standardize on one notation for the lower-level process notation and not mix both. Have a look at the three articles that I wrote about configuring the tool, especially the meta model part: www.whatsyourbaseline.com/2021/07/technical-governance-meta-model/. To make things simple, I typically reduce the available symbols by customizing the filter in the tool (ARIS in my case), so that there are just the minimum amount of symbols needed: pools, lanes, events, tasks, gateways, and then extend where needed. I have not seen anyone using the extended palette in reality if they were not geeks. Read more here: www.whatsyourbaseline.com/2011/03/235/. I hope this helps, and thanks for listening to/watching the What's Your Baseline Podcast :-)
@@whatsyourbaseline Thanks so much Roland, ill dig into all these goodies over the weekend. thanks :)
