But seeming them will probably have to wait for the next Gartner Conference:>) I probably shouldn't mention I got a Blueprint beta account from Lomardi - just starting to play around with it. Maybe I can invite you in for collaborative modeling! Sorry about that - Business Genetics. But seeming them will probably have to wait for the next Gartner Conference:>)

I probably shouldn’t mention I got a Blueprint beta account from Lomardi - just starting to play around with it. Maybe I can invite you in for collaborative modeling!

I've already blogged about Blueprint a few weeks back after an extensive demo by the product manager, and I'm waiting for my beta account. I had an interesting discussion about models-to-execution with someone from Proforma yesterday before I left, and I still think that not enough is being done to make it dead simple to model in one tool and execute in another, with round-tripping.

(They are a sponsor at the Gartner Conference this year.) It has the shortcomings of a modeling only tool that you describe above, creating proprietary models that can't be imported into a BPMS. I didn't understand Rosser's excitement then, and I don't understand it now. It may be a great methodology, but creating paper requirements and proprietary models seems like a dead end approach. And Lombardi's Blueprint seems to encroach on their methodology but offers an execution path. Check them out if you get a chance - I'd be interested in your opinion. Nice work from Gartner, by the way. Keep it up!
