Tailoring
Business Modeling guidelines are only needed when the project needs to formally model the business in order to build a new system. This occurs in cases where the business process is complex and modeling helps to improve understanding, or in cases where the business process in being re-designed concurrently with the design of the new system. The degree of business process re-design, or the complexity of the business process, will dictate how comprehensive the business modeling guidelines need to be.
