This “blueprint” depicts business components, not technology components and can represent the entire enterprise, a subset, or a cross-organizational view. A business architecture captures a sufficient level of detail to help management align strategic objectives against tactical demands to best address business goals,and to plan for changes in business capabilities in a reliable, efficient and proactive manner.
Business Architecture includes the following elements and the relationships between them:
- Recognition of business strategy (ends and means)
- Value Chain
- Work products
- Business Processes
- Business vocabulary and concepts
- Business rules and operational business decisions
- Locations and connections
- Enabling facilities and equipment
- Roles and responsibilities
- Business events and business cycles
- Metrics
Critical success factors for developing a Business Architecture include:
- Clearly defined scope
- Understanding of the enterprise-level strategy
- Definition of the ends and means within the strategy appropriate for the business area within scope
- Alignment among all elements and with the strategy
- Assessment of the roles, needs, goals and objectives of key business stakeholders
- Alignment of individual incentives with business outcomes and end-value creation
- Definition of competency levels needed by human resources
Special areas of interest within Business Architecture include:
- Return on Investment from Business Architecture
- Architecting in an ERP world
