It is possible, but unlikely, that an organization will use both business processes and business use cases to describe
the behavior of the business. Because of this, usually only one of the two behavior-oriented service
identification tasks will be performed on a given project.
Many organizations will dispense with using the Business Functional Model candidate service discovery technique,
because they are strongly focused on identifying services that explicitly support business processes. If you
decide to not use this technique explicitly to identify services, we suggest that you still use the Functional Area Model to check the results of your behavior-oriented service
discovery efforts. Each candidate service that is identified using a behavior model (business process or business
use case) should be mappable back to a function in the Functional Area Model.
