Content: A business architect is NOT a business analyst. While tenets of business analysis are an essential part of “business analysis,” the business architect is not the same as a business analyst. Of course, a person named a “Business Analyst” can do some work that pertains to the business architecture and we are talking about the disciplines, which are different, even if some of the tools, techniques, methodologies, and outputs may borrow from each other. A business architect is NOT a product manager. A business product manager owns the product vision, direction, and roadmap. A product manager may consume the deliverables of business architecture, particularly business capabilities and capability-based roadmaps and similarly, a business architect may leverage a lot of the product managers’ work to understand the business, its markets, products and services, customers, and overall business context. A business architect is not a project manager. Of course, a business architect may manage a business architecture project or contribute to an overall plan, but he/she is not a project manager. 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.
