SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats for Modeling and Methodology Work Group (MnM)

Strengths

  • Active members with strong knowledge of Methodology and its foundations
  • Active members with a passion for a functional methodology
  • Solid foundation in RIM and Methodology
  • The HL7 membership trusts the work group to lead

Weaknesses

  • Inadequate documentation of some of Methodology & Processes
  • Difficulty getting all (or even most) facilitators together to form true consensus
  • Lack of bandwidth (and commitment?) to train new participants and Facilitators
  • Difficult to track, monitor and maintain active communication with the organizations breadth of Work Groups and projects

Opportunities

  • Opening for outreach and collaboration with "non-messaging" V3
  • Chance to improve collaboration with Vocabulary, SOA and Structured Documents
  • Change to re-think and refactor artifacts and methodology as part of SAIF and FHIR work
  • Engage w/ OMG and others to seek incorporation of key methodology constructs (design by constraint, terminology binding, etc.) into "standard" methodologies such as UML.

Threats

  • Losing credibility due to inability to respond to key issues in timely fashion
  • Transition to FHIR (if it occurs) could be very disruptive to the organization, creating a negative perception of MnM
  • Demands of a FHIR transition may place demands on MnM the committee doesn't have the bandwidth to handle
  • FHIR is consuming resources that would otherwise be directed to other responsibilities, slowing delivery times
