ARIS Convention Handbook

Ayhan,

We use ARIS Business Architect and have an ARIS Methods & Conventions Handbook. Here's the table of contents for you to consider:

1. Overview (outline purpose of handbook, introduction to ARIS concepts, team roles and responsibilites)
2. ARIS Framework and Governance (documents your database and folder structure, framework and special numbering schema for model/process steps, governance control/approvals, and release cycle management)
3. Business Process Level Architecture (details the major models you are using like VACD, EPC row, FAD)
4. ARIS Models and Available Objects (details customized symbols or models used in modeling our processes)
5. Modeling Standards (covers basic modeling guidelines and standards, working with business process levels, customized filters/templates, use of free-form text/graphics, modeling/object naming preference, creating/reusing objects, printing options, and how to request new models, objects, or attributes)
6. ARIS Semantic Checks (steps on how to run semantic check using customized profile)
7. ARIS Reporting (steps on how to run customized reports)
8. Business Publisher Standards and Usage
9. Solution Manager Synchronization
10. Additional Documents (company-specific such as training slides, job aids, and so on)

This should give you a fairly good start.

From customer project I know that some kind of quick reference is very handy so that people can look up easily how to model a process or any other model. This should be supported by a filter, which doesn't allow too much freedom to better guide the people. In general, I would say try to make the convention handbook as small as possible and try to provide checks & rules directly in the tool.

We do provide one-page quick references for many of the topics that are contained in the Conventions guide. The guide itself documents all the configuration steps we took, plus documents all the customizations we made.

Users don't always want to read through a large manual, which is why the quick references are a more useful tool.

Ah ok, so the convention guide is not something you would give to your users, do you?
