Conclusions

• We present a novel goal-based organizational
  modeling method.
• We define a set of steps to generate
  organizational models that reflect the goals of
  each actor as well as the general goals of the
  organization.
• We also describe the required steps to integrate
  the software system actor within the
  organizational model. That is, the software
  system actor will be assigned the
  responsibilities of executing goal and task.
• The organizational models generated with the
  method presented in this paper could later be
  translated into a compatible UML use case
  specification, and its respective scenarios. The
  use case model generated serves as input to a
  semi automatic process that generates the
  specification of the system behavior as well as
  the prototype of the user interface.
