Displaying and changing scenario-based or process-based business configurations

A system comprising:

• at least one programmable processor;
• and
• a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
• accessing a definition of a business scenario, the definition comprising a designation of a plurality of business process features required for completion of the business scenario, one or more feature modules of an business software architecture providing functionality relating to one or more of the plurality of business process features, and an order in which the plurality of business process features are to be executed;
• displaying, concurrently via a user interface presentable on a computer display device, a work frame and a navigation frame, the navigation frame comprising a first plurality of user interface elements arranged to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features, the work frame comprising a plurality of business configuration user interface elements relating to a selected one of the plurality of business process features, the business configuration user interface elements comprising organizational chart user interface elements;
• receiving a user input via one or more of the plurality of business configuration user interface elements, the user input relating to a change to a business configuration for an organization using the business software architecture, the change comprising an assignment or reassignment of a role within the organization to the specific business process feature, the user input comprising making a linkage between one or more of the business configuration user interface elements relating to the role within the organization and one or more of the first plurality of user interface elements relating to the specific business process feature or another business process feature of the plurality of business process features;
• and
• updating a business configuration model storing the business configuration to reflect the received change.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• accessing a definition of a business scenario, the definition comprising a designation of a plurality of business process features required for completion of the business scenario, one or more feature modules of an business software architecture providing functionality relating to one or more of the plurality of business process features, and an order in which the plurality of business process features are to be executed;
• displaying, concurrently via a user interface presentable on a computer display device, a work frame and a navigation frame, the navigation frame comprising a first plurality of user interface elements arranged to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features, the work frame comprising a plurality of business configuration user interface elements relating to a selected one of the plurality of business process features, the business configuration user interface elements comprising organizational chart user interface elements;
• receiving a user input via one or more of the plurality of business configuration user interface elements, the user input relating to a change to a business configuration for an organization using the business software architecture, the change comprising an assignment or reassignment of a role within the organization to the specific business process feature, the user input comprising making a linkage between one or more of the business configuration user interface elements relating to the role within the organization and one or more of the first plurality of user interface elements relating to the specific business process feature or another business process feature of the plurality of business process features;
• and
• updating a business configuration model storing the business configuration to reflect the received change;
• wherein the accessing, the displaying, the receiving, and the updating are performed by at least one programmable processor.
