SvcV-5 – Operational Activity to Services Traceability Matrix

The SvcV-5 addresses the linkage between service functions described in SvcV-4 and Operational Activities specified in OV-5a Operational Activity Decomposition Tree or OV-5b Operational Activity Model. The SvcV-5 depicts the mapping of service functions (and, optionally, the capabilities and performers that provide them) to operational activities and thus identifies the transformation of an operational need into a purposeful action performed by a service solution.

Usage

The intended usage of the SvcV-5 includes:

• Tracing service functional requirements to user requirements.
• Tracing solution options to requirements.
• Identification of overlaps or gaps

Product Description

SvcV-5 consists of two products:

• Operational Activity to Services Mapping
• Operational Activity to Services Traceability Mapping

Operational Activity to Services Mapping is a diagram or a set of diagrams that visualize the relationships between the set of operational activities applicable to an Architectural Description and the set of service functions applicable to that Architectural Description.

Operational Activity to Services Traceability Matrix is a non-editable matrix that shows the mapping between operational activities and services functions as modeled with Operational Activity to Services Mapping (diagram).

Creating an Operational Activity to Services Mapping (diagram)

To create an Operational Activity to Services Mapping:

1. Click on Operational Activity to Services Mapping in the Action Artifact area, and then select Create New Diagram.
2. Type the diagram name and press Enter.
3. A blank diagram is created and you can start constructing the view.
4. Reuse OperationalActivities (recommended) through dragging and dropping them from the Model Explorer. OperationalActivities are defined in OV-2.
5. Reuse ServiceFunctions (recommended) through dragging and dropping them from the Model Explorer. ServiceFunctions are defined in ScvV-4.
6. Connect ServiceFunctions and OperationalActivities with Implements connectors.

Creating an Operational Activity to Services Traceability Matrix

To open the Operational Activity to Services Traceability Matrix:

1. Click on Operational Activity to Services Traceability Matrix in the Action Artifact area.
2. View the relationships between OperationalActivities and ServiceFunctions, which are listed as rows and columns, respectively. The cells indicate the mapping between elements if one exists
