The Business Process Framework (eTOM) is not currently specified below Level 3 in the decomposition hierarchy, and we are now seeing some Level 4 process elements being introduced which will be published as they are agreed.

Based on some committed effort that is anticipated from Members, we will be moving ahead to populate Level 4 process elements across the Business Process Framework (eTOM) generally. The intended approach is to break down existing Level 3s to develop candidate Level 4s, and then publish these for review and comment.

To help with this, we are seeking your views on the priorities for which processes to invest time in agreeing on Level 4s. We hope to fill out the whole framework, but we will first address the areas where the new material will be most helpful to our members.

Please respond to this survey to provide a view from your own company and customers/clients on where your priorities would be for eTOM Level 4 process definitions.

In which Level 1 process areas would new Level 4 process detail be of most help to your company or your customers/clients?

(Note: At present the Enterprise Management (EM) area is only developed to Level 2, so if this is a priority then work would first be needed to develop Level 3s here.)

Looking at the processes in more detail, Check off the top 10 Level 2 areas for which it is a high priority and the top 10 Level 2 areas for which it is a low priority to you to have Level 4 processes completed. If you selected it as a high priority, please indicate if we should be developing Level 4s for all their Level 3s, or are some of the Level 3s not relevant for your business?
