About This MicroSim¶

A map of the stakeholder universe for an enterprise system, organized into concentric rings (direct users and operators, organizational, external/regulatory) and four sectors. It helps students see beyond the obvious technical roles.

How to Use¶

Click any stakeholder for their concerns, a sample ATAM scenario, and influence level. Hover a sector label for its definition. Use Show Concerns to badge each stakeholder with their primary quality-attribute concern, and toggle the outer ring for different analysis scopes.

Iframe Embed Code¶

You can add this MicroSim to any web page by adding this to your HTML:

        width="100%"
