1 BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE AND THE OPEN GROUP I A S A e S u m m i t

2 OVERVIEW Introduction to the organizations The Business Architecture Guild and the Business Architecture Framework The Open Group and the Open Group Architecture Framework Overview of collaboration between Business Architecture Guild and Open Group Drill Down on work in the architecture forum Brief on enhanced content Value streams Capabilities 2

3 THE VALUE PROPOSITION Goal align The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF ) to the business architecture framework as documented in the BIZBOK Guide The Win\Win TOGAF gains more robust business architecture practice with supporting documentation, training, and certification BIZBOK gains tighter integration with and support from industry standard enterprise architecture framework Tools and training that support TOGAF will align more readily to best practices and reduce customization often required by in-house teams Business architecture work will be streamlined and expedited 3

4 INTRODUCTION TO THE BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE GUILD The Business Architecture Guild is a community of business architects who have come together to build and expand their profession. 4

5 BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE FRAMEWORK B U S I N E S S Strategy Business Scenarios Capabilities Value Streams Information Organization Business Blueprints A R C H Metrics I T E C T U R E Source of Basic Framework: (BIZBOK Guide) Blueprints: On demand and ad hoc business architecture diagrams, extracts and reporting Scenarios: Specific business context shaped by business objectives, related challenges, action items, plans 5

6 OVERVIEW OF THE OPEN GROUP The Open Group member organizations work to establish open, vendor-neutral IT standards and certifications in a variety of subject areas critical to the enterprise. Enterprise Architecture Cloud Computing Platforms Product Lifecycle Real-Time & Embedded Systems Security IT4IT Service-Oriented Architecture 6

7 THE OPEN GROUP ARCHITECTURE FRAMEWORK (TOGAF ) Of the subject areas the Open Group covers, enterprise architecture is most closely aligned to Business Architecture The primary standard the Open Group produces in the subject area of enterprise architecture is the Open Group Framework or TOGAF The currently published version of TOGAF is 9.1 There are two parts of the TOGAF where collaboration is focused The Architecture Development Method (TOGAF ADM) The Architecture Content Model (TOGAF ACM) 7

8 BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE WORK AT OPEN GROUP Business architecture work in the Open Groups is distributed across multiple forums and work streams: Within the architecture forum Business architecture work stream Content model work stream From The Open Group Governing Board Open business architecture work stream In the Archimate forum Improved coordination between Archimate and Architecture forums to align TOGAF content model and Archimate metamodel The collaboration between the Business Architecture Guild and the Open Group primarily takes place within the architecture forum 8

9 ARCHITECTURE FORUM AND BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE In the Business Architecture Work Stream New Guides: Business capabilities and Value streams These guides add BIZBOK content to TOGAF Updates to TOGAF In the Content Model Work Stream Update to TOGAF Architecture Content Model (ACM) Chapter 34 of TOGAF Align to BIZBOK business architecture metamodel Will align to industry standard metamodel working through Object Management Group Incorporate value stream and capability models Status Change Requests still under review Approved change requests targeted for completion in June

UPDATES TO TOGAF Open Group moving to a time-boxed update to TOGAF Business Architecture work stream updating sections on two phases of TOGAF Phase A of TOGAF ADM Architecture Vision.

10 UPDATES TO TOGAF Open Group moving to a time-boxed update to TOGAF Business Architecture work stream updating sections on two phases of TOGAF Phase A of TOGAF ADM Architecture Vision. Introduces capability and value concepts in TOGAF Phase B Business Architecture Aligning to emphasis on capabilities and value streams Status Change Requests reviewed and approved Target completion in June

11 VALUE IN BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE In business architecture context, value should be understood in the most general sense: Usefulness, advantage, benefit, or desirability Not relatively narrow accounting or financial perspective of material or monetary worth Value is the foundation of a firm s business model The Business or Enterprise Architect should be able to model, measure, and analyze the various ways that the enterprise achieves value for a given stakeholder 11

12 WHY BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE VALUE STREAMS Several approaches to model, measure, and analyze business value Value chains, which take an economic value perspective Value networks, which concern the participants involved in creating and delivering value Lean Value streams, which facilitate optimizing business processes Only the business architecture value streams to create an end-to-end perspective of value from the customer (or stakeholder) perspective, For that reason, business architecture value streams are more closely aligned to an organization s business model The other value analysis techniques align more closely to financial, organizational, or operational models 12

13 ANATOMY OF A VALUE STREAM Value streams are defined from the perspective of the stakeholder Customer, end-user, or recipient of the product, service, or deliverable produced by the work Value is achieved through a series of sequential and/or parallel actions, or value stream stages Stakeholder value incrementally created added from one stage to the next 13

14 BUSINESS CAPABILITIES Business capabilities represent ability of enterprise to do something A business capability is a particular ability or capacity that a business may possess or exchange to achieve a specific purpose or outcome Business capabilities delineate what a business does without attempting to explain how, why, or where the business uses the capability Business capabilities can be automated or outsourced Business capabilities are associated with roles, processes, information, and tools that implement them Example Business Capability Patient Management The ability to serve the needs of a person seeking and/or receiving medical attention or care, which may include attending to personal needs or preferences in addition to dealing with a medical condition or ailment. 14

lower levels to communicate at a level detail appropriate to the audience or stakeholder

15 CAPABILITY LEVELING Business capabilities may be organized in a hierarchy of levels Leveling is the process of decomposing each top-level (Level 1) business capability into lower levels to communicate at a level detail appropriate to the audience or stakeholder group concerned Capabilities can also be organized into tiers to show business relevance 15

16 CAPABILITY HEAT MAP Capability heat maps can show a range of different perspectives. These include maturity, effectiveness, performance, and the value or cost contribution of each capability to the business LEGEND Maturity matches desired level Maturity lags desired level by one level Maturity lags desired level by more than one level Missing Capability 16
