Tailoring

Representation Options	In some situations, the context and scope of the business modeling effort has a large degree of similarity to the context and scope of the software engineering effort. Where this is true, the terms identified and defined during business modeling and requirements activities can be included in a single Glossary to improve consistency and reduce duplicate change management.
