Many businesses align their business goals and IT strategies to strengthen the validity of business processes. However, the relationships between goals and strategies are often vague. Thus, the level of success derived from their interrelationships may be ambiguous. By coupling GQM+Strategies and SysML, we propose a framework to systematically associate business requirements and system functions. Moreover, we define a profile in Unified Modeling Language (UML), which allows a model to be created by coupling GQM+Strategies and a SysML-requirement diagram.
