    For a description of this plug-in's contents, refer to &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../extend.bus_model/guidances/supportingmaterials/about_bm_AB93D3E4.html&quot; guid=&quot;_toC84D_iEdqDFvujd6NHiA&quot;>About&#xD;
    Business Modeling&lt;/a>.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The new features and changes from version to version are described below.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        &lt;a href=&quot;#3.0&quot;>From 2.0 to 3.0&lt;/a>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        &lt;a href=&quot;#2.0&quot;>From 1.0 to 2.0&lt;/a>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        &lt;a href=&quot;#1.0&quot;>1.0&lt;/a>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;h2>&#xD;
    &lt;a id=&quot;3.0&quot; name=&quot;3.0&quot;>From 2.0 to 3.0&lt;/a>&#xD;
&lt;/h2>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    A new package, Business Process Modeling, was added to describe the refinement of business use cases as a mechanism for&#xD;
    the initial decomposition of an abstract description of business process. Concept pages were added to describe the&#xD;
    elements of Component Business Modeling and Functional Area Analysis, as techniques for arriving at a definition of&#xD;
    business architecture.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;h2>&#xD;
    &lt;a id=&quot;2.0&quot; name=&quot;2.0&quot;>From 1.0 to 2.0&lt;/a>&#xD;
&lt;/h2>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The main change has been the addition of a new package providing guidance around the requirements flowdown approach.&#xD;
    This is a top-down approach of logically decomposing the business systems across multiple aspects driven by the chosen&#xD;
    architectural viewpoints and views. The externally visible behavior of the business (sub) systems is modeled using the&#xD;
    concept of operations. For more information, see the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot;&#xD;

    guid=&quot;_NYeVMDnbEdqWU7Hm4tsbTA&quot;>Define Business Operations&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;Capability Pattern.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;h2>&#xD;
    &lt;a id=&quot;1.0&quot; name=&quot;1.0&quot;>1.0&lt;/a>&#xD;
&lt;/h2>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The previous content was not packaged in a plug-in, but it was part of the base RUP.&#xD;
