Content: Defining the role of a business architect
A Business Architect interprets and contextualizes strategy for operational needs, develops specific artifacts such as business capability maps and value streams to help bridge the gap between strategy and execution, and helps streamline and rationalize the IT enablement process. In addition to developing specific deliverables, views, and viewpoints, a business architect synthesizes and synergies the work of others drawing from disciplines such as strategy development, business analysis, process management, operations, and systems analysis. Of course, the description above is an ideal state and seemingly utopian vision of the role of a business architect. However, in reality, in many large companies, the role of a business architect has devolved into an appendage of IT and has run into ambiguity about the specific nature, deliverables, and intended outcomes from the position. The uncertainty has to do with a lot of factors and none of which alone can resolve the status quo. Business Architect: Dispelling the myths and misperceptions
A business architect is NOT an enterprise architect. However, because business architecture is an integral part of enterprise architecture, there are many commonalities and overlaps – at least as far as the business domain definition and strategy interpretation. A business architect is NOT a solution architect. The deliverables from business architecture, including the business solution conceptual vision, is an essential input for the solution architecture teams.
