MDM Design Process Overview

A governance hierarchy consists of the following elements:

• A category - collection of the tasks, roles, scenarios and business process created to organize the elements by, for example, line of business, business unit or division, or data domain.
• Business processes – A collection of scenarios to allow a series of linked scenarios to be created.
• Scenarios - A collection of roles that outlines a single process, such as creating a new FinishedGood. 
• Roles – A collection of tasks.
• Tasks - Content WebApp pages designed to collect and validate information required to support the business process.

To design a governance hierarchy:

• Manage Categories
• Manage Business Processes
• Manage Scenarios
• Manage Roles
• Manage Tasks

A Designer can evaluate overall business process design and how updates to a scenario, role or task may affect other elements that are assigned to that scenario. Refer to these topics for more information:

• View the Roles and Tasks Assigned to a Scenario
• View the Scenarios Where a Role is Used and the Tasks Assigned to that Role
• View Scenarios and Roles to which a Task is Assigned
