Capability-Based Development of an Organization
Business capabilities represent WHAT an organization needs to fulfill its mission and execute its business.
The Milky Way Map with ArchiMate
Milky Way mapping is a visualization approach for illustrating an overall value stream of an organization.
Architectural Thinking with ArchiMate
Architectural Thinking Association (AT) ® is an interesting initiative in order to make the architecture easier for everybody (link). AT core model is relatively simple, it consists of few elements only as follows: Capability, Value Stream (Process), Business Object, Application and Technology Component. The AT core meta-model is illustrated in the diagram below (figure 1). These […]
Value Stream Modelling
Value? Value is fundamental to everything that an organization does. The primary reason that an organization exists is to provide value to one or more stakeholders. It is the foundation of a firm’s business model, which describes the rationale for how a business creates, delivers, and captures value. [Value Streams, Open Group, 2017] Value Stream? A key […]
Application Architecture Modeling With ArchiMate
Introduction Application Architecture (or Solution Architecture, SA) can be modelled with the same set of ArchiMate diagram types as other levels of architecture (Enterprise- and Domain levels). Application architecture can be modelled with a small subset of ArchiMate elements as follows: Application Component, Application Service and Application Interface. Relationships between those elements can be modelled with […]
ArchiMate Metamodel For Enterprise Development
ArchiMate can be used for holistic enterprise development purposes, as ArchiMate provides concepts that cover all the most relevant aspects of overall modelling. ArchiMate contains lots of elements, what makes it very powerful notation. However, only a subset of ArchiMate elements can be used for most of the cases – according to Pareto’s law (80/20 rule). The […]
Process Modelling With ArchiMate
ArchiMate can be used for process modelling at high level, especially if there is a need for linking process steps with specific application layer elements such as application services. Couple of examples how ArchiMate can be used for process modelling shown below. Business Process View This business process view provides a “high-level structure and composition […]
ArchiMate Model Transfer from Archi to Neo4j Graph Database
Graph Databases such as Neo4j can be used for extended visualization and analysis purposes of EA-models.
