MISMO Fall 2016 Summit MISMO Future State Standards

MISMO Fall 2016 Summit MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) Overview Moderator: Randy Gillis, Black Knight Financial Services Panelists: Mark Kleingers, Black Knight Financial Services Mick Smothers, Capco September 12, 2016 The MISMO 2016 Fall Summit Education Program is sponsored by:

Goals for the Future State • Providing work products that align well with industry needs and encourage adoption of the standards. • Formalize the process for capturing and ensuring traceability of business influence in the standards: – Business knowledge, workflows, and terminology are captured and presented in forms that are easily understood by nontechnical individuals and adaptable to multiple technologies. – Business needs drive prioritization of work activities. – Enable business analysis and technical work to occur independently and at different paces. • Providing a clear separation of concerns between business products and technical ones, such as XML schema. • Creating a technical process that allows for the production of the MISMO standards in formats in addition to XML Schema.

How Future Goals Were Determined • The future state vision originated in 2015 with a series of interviews involving people with different perspectives: – Business vs. technical – MISMO member vs. non-member – A variety of industry roles • Common perceptions captured include: – The need for business-driven priorities and context – A desire to cut the complexity of the model and make it more user-friendly – The perception that the MISMO standards are only for technical stakeholders – The belief that updates to the model take too long MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) 3

Desired Improvements • Ensure that the most important industry needs are addressed first. • Enhance current and future work products to include content valuable to both business and technology professionals. • Separate the process of describing business “things” and “relationships” from XML Schema, in order to support future technical products. • Introduce the concept of an advocate, which is someone who: – Proposes new work products or significant new businessdriven content. – Provides support throughout the process of adding the new product or content.

Future State Vision MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) 5

Future State Advantages • Business-oriented work can proceed ahead of XML Schema releases and be scheduled for future releases. • Business products and activities will allow business experts to better understand MISMO and contribute. • Separating business concepts from XML Schema allows reuse of knowledge across future technical products, such as a data model or JSON model. • New work products, both business and technical, will add industry value, encourage adoption, and drive additional participation in MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) 6

Getting to the Future State: Work Streams • Putting the desired future state into practice will require efforts in three key areas, or work streams: – Business Work Stream – Technical Work Stream – MISMO Organization and Policy Work Stream • The activities of each work stream will be guided by: – A charter, which details the purpose, goals, key deliverables, and a high level plan of action – Detailed statements of work for specific initiatives MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) 7

Business Reference Model • Depicts the loan lifecycle graphically as a high-level process flow: – Contains activities that are commonly used industry-wide – Allows the ability to drill down to more detail where appropriate – Contains detailed narratives for the most common and standardized activities • Narratives tie the Business Reference Model to other MISMO work products, such as Implementation Guides and the XML Schema, and also reference related Workgroups. • Detail work is focused on specific, prioritized work streams. • Not all activities will be detailed out. Some activities aren’t performed in a common fashion by all participants. MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) 8

Business Glossary • Advances the use and reuse of consistent mortgage finance industry terminology by: – Defining authoritative meaning of many different things of importance to the mortgage finance community – Accurately representing mortgage finance business hierarchies and relationships between things of importance – Establishing responsibility, accountability and traceability for Glossary of Business Terms and MISMO architecture content • Provides business specifications for the MISMO Technical Architecture (ERD/LDM) • Content for the Business Glossary will be initially derived from appropriate aspects of the Logical Data Dictionary (LDD) and related engineering guidelines (MEGs). MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) 9

Logical Data Model (LDM) • Use a standard, implementation-neutral language to describe the model. Final form is TBD, but possibilities include – UML – ERD – Custom extensions to XML schema – A combination of approaches • Selection of language with an eye towards tools that will save time & effort, also allow concurrent update streams • “First, do no harm” – The new LDM MUST support generation of the existing XML schema; the initial LDM release MUST be reverseengineered from it. • In addition to definition needed to produce XML schema, the new LDM will capture additional data & architectural definition that may be required for other physical implementations MISMO Future State Standards Initiative (FSSI) 10

Guiding Principles • To assure that each Work Stream is aligned with common goals and objectives, all work must adhere to a set of guiding principles: – All new products created by MISMO shall have an advocate. – Changes to the process of creating work products must not alter the XML Schema that is currently delivered. • Ultimately, future activities should be about increasing engagement and enabling MISMO to better provide value to the industry.
