Overview of this book

Most organizations face challenges in defining and achieving evolved enterprise architecture practices, which can be a very lengthy process even if implemented correctly. Developers, for example, can build better solutions only if they receive the necessary design information from architects, and decision-makers can make appropriate changes within the organization only if they know the implications of doing so. The book starts by addressing the problems faced by enterprise architecture practitioners and provides solutions based on an agile approach to enterprise architecture, using ArchiMate® 3.1 as an industry standard and Sparx EA as the modeling tool. You'll learn with the help of a fictional organization that has three business units, each expecting something different from you as the enterprise architect. You'll build the practice, satisfy the different requirements of each business unit, and share the knowledge with others so they can follow your steps. Toward the end, you'll learn how to put the diagrams and the content that you have developed into documents, presentations, and web pages that can be published and shared with any stakeholder. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build a functional enterprise architecture practice that supports every part of your organization. You'll also have developed the necessary skills to populate your enterprise architecture repository with references and artifacts.

Chapter 8: Business Architecture Models

The business architecture is the highest of the three core architecture layers in an enterprise. Many architects start their Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice at this layer, followed by the application layer, and then the technology layer.

The business architecture is often approached first because it traditionally occurs when the EA practice is defined and documented, with the intent to build the other layers around the business, which is a correct approach, and it keeps the business as the driver for changes. Additionally, TOGAF® has the business architecture as phase B of the Architecture Development Method (ADM), which guides its practitioners to have it in the early stages of the EA practice. However, due to the reasons that have been described in detail in Chapter 1, Enterprise Architecture and Its Practicality, one of the practical approaches that this book encourages is to start from any layer in the enterprise where there...
