The document proposes a model-driven approach to align business processes and user interfaces (UIs) by using task models as an intermediate representation. It presents a three-phase process where business analysts first model business processes, then task models are created in collaboration with system analysts to represent the user perspective, and finally UIs are derived from the task models. Tools are used to transform and synchronize models between phases. The approach aims to maintain consistency between models and support impact analysis of changes.
![Issues ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“… receiving only screen shots not linked with the process makes our work very difficult. ” Business Analyst System Analyst “… docs are too detailed… no prior training… they use a tool we do not have… we wait for updated docs…” UI Designer “ we are overloaded to stop and read these documents…” All: “changes impact hundreds of screens…we spend lots of times on meetings to decide what to do…”](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
