Business Architecture represents holistic, multidimensional business views of capabilities, end-to-end value delivery, information, organizational structure, and the relationship among these business views, strategies, initiatives, and stakeholders. This module will allow you to capture the blueprints for your business architecture and connect them with your opportunities.
An excellent place to start is by creating the blueprints of your company, such as the capability map and organization map. Also, having your north start defined, you will use those powerful tools to decide where to focus the efforts to implement opportunities and align them with your goals.
A value chain is the combination of activities a business undertakes to move a product or service along with its life cycle, including design, marketing, distribution, and customer support.
To fill up your value chain, you must complete your capability map; this will automatically populate your value chain.
A business capability, or simply a ‘capability,’ defines what a business does. It does not communicate or expose where, why, or how something is done, only what is done.
Specifically, a business capability is a particular ability or capacity that a business may possess or exchange to achieve a specific purpose or outcome’.
The capability map in its entirety delivers a concise, non-redundant, business-centric view of the business at its most basic level. It also encompasses a complete picture of what that business does.
Capabilities represent the basic building blocks of a business. These building blocks can be used, improved, rearranged, and leveraged in various ways to achieve an infinite range of business goals; however, a business must first define those building blocks.
You can upload a BMPN (.bpmn or .zip), a file exported from IBM Process Mining, a text file (txt), or a TWX file from BAW (.twx).
An opportunity is a potential automation that you found for your experiments. The opportunity will contain all the relevant information, such as simulation or benefit/cost calculation. It will also help you track the stage of the project life cycle.
Automation alignment is the automation technology that best fits your opportunity. If you don’t know what technology could be used, create an experiment for your process and discover automation options in the discovery tab.
While the pool of opportunities can be managed in a single view, they can also be aligned to specific ‘pipelines,’ which allow us to separate the opportunities. This can be for different teams, departments, projects, or possibly for different budgets or stakeholders. Create as many pipelines as you need and manage them in this module.
