Content: Let’s look at the definitions currently in widespread use. Recently, a number of related professional associations and industry standards organizations ratified new definitions for Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture and related architecture disciplines. This collaboration agreed the following definitions: Enterprise architecture represents the holistic planning, analysis, design, and implementation for the development and execution of strategy by applying principles and practices to guide organizations through the integration and interoperation of all other architecture domains. Business architecture represents holistic, multidimensional business views of capabilities, end-to-end value delivery, information, and organizational structure; and the relationships among these business views and strategies, products, policies, initiatives, and stakeholders. Components of Business Architecture
Business Architecture consists of components, which document: Business Motivation (defined by Vision, Goals, Objectives, Mission, Strategies and Plans)
Business Products and Services
Business Organization Structure, Roles and Locations
Business Stakeholders (e.g. Partners, Suppliers, Regulators and Customers)
Business Capabilities and Processes
Business Information Objects (high level objects: i.e. customer information, product information, customer sales)
These components help define the Business Architecture domain, which in-turn, help to deliver business aligned technology governance to the other domains within Enterprise Architecture. Overview of Business Architecture
Simply put, we look at Business Architecture overall as the definitive blueprint of how an enterprise operates.
