As desirable as it would be, organizations never freeze the businessrequirement
process. These artifacts keep changing and evolving amid product development
phases. The attribution process must be aligned with these business trends. As a result, supplementary
attribution analysis activities may be required to perfect the previously recommended
attribute sets.
There are other opportunities for further attribution analysis iterations during the conceptual
service identification and categorization process described in Chapter 5. There, a number
of occasions are identified that would require reevaluation of the recommended attributes. This
process should be repeated until the attribution process yields valuable inputs and provides a solid
foundation for the conceptualization process.
ATTRIBUTE PRIORITIZATION. Each of the attribute selection paths ends at an attribution model
final node, which is believed to be the combination of attributes that best describes the business
requirements for a particular product. Remember, the mission now is to prioritize a set of attributes
that may be used to derive conceptual services. This represents the very first opportunity to
evaluate the reusability aspects of products and convey the motivation behind service-oriented
projects. Now is also the time to plan how organizational concerns can be separated and expressed
by decomposed abstract entities, which in essence are the discovered conceptual services.
