Transfer of Method Knowledge and Modelling in Distributed Teams - Lessons Learned

• Traditionally, enterprise modelling has one of its application areas in the context of improving business practice and management. In such improvement situations an important dimension is optimized information flow in organisations, i.e. to be able to provide the information required to complete organisational tasks. In order to systematically capture and analyse information demand in enterprises, a method for information demand analysis has been developed. The subject of this paper is the use of this method in distributed teams of modellers. This requires transfer of method knowledge to the modellers, coordination of its application, systematic evaluation of lessons learned, and collection of change proposals for the method. The aim is to report on the process of method knowledge transfer and usage including the lessons learned and implications on the used method. The contributions are (1) lessons learned from the process of transferring method knowledge and performing the actual modelling in distributed teams, (2) implications for the method as such regarding alignment between different models-on-plastic (or paper) and electronic models, and (3) implications for the specific method notation.
