Representation of the model makes it seem like it is linear.

  • Consider changing the visual representation of the model or remove the numbers
  • Spokes, bubbles?
  • No labels

  1. There is an animation of the GSBPM that makes this much clearer.

    Unfortunately, animations only work when you make a local copy of the presentation.

    The short 5 slide presentation on the home page doesn't include the animation.

    This one does https://statswiki.unece.org/download/attachments/57835551/GSBPM.ppt?

    Depicting line of site across sub-processes

    This feedback relates to the (perceived) linear nature of the GSBPM as reflected in its diagrammatic form. In reality as a statistic is created the processes that are applied are not linear (eg. imputation weights need aggregate response rates), and so the 'true' flow through the GSBPM can in fact appear chaotic. In order for an analyst to do their job appropriately, they need a line of sight throughout the entire suite of processes that make up the statistic. They also need a level of comprehension of all processes involved in the computation.  Guidance provided to support the use of the GSBPM should incorporate worked examples which explicitly outline this iterative flow and the linkage across the various sub-processes.

    We believe incorporating explicit examples will help with interpretation (& utilisation).

  3. An example of applying (part of) GSBPM to statistical business registers, which may help

    The Communicating GSBPM page has a number of ideas for representing GSBPM. 

    Another idea from CSO Ireland is "making the GSBPM as a the flesh of a peach with the metadata and documentation the seed". This could try to capture the idea of the DNA of the process as opposed to the consumption of the process. 

    Maybe others have clever ideas for how to represent GSBPM !

  5. 1) Remove the numbering.

    2) Click on a process box to get to the text description for that box.

    Not a clever idea, but maybe pragmatic!
