Motivation views can be used for modelling WHY a development target is important. What are the reasons and goals for a development target, what are the principles and requirements for development. Also, the\u00a0value and meaning related to a development target can be modeled.<\/p>\n

Motivation Elements<\/h3>\n

ArchiMate Motivation Layer consists of following elements shown in the figure below.<\/p>\n

Motivation View Pattern<\/h3>\n

Main Motivation elements and their relations illustrated in the figure below. Capability element represents the development target here, but it can also be e.g. an Application Service or other core elements.<\/p>\n

Example Views<\/h3>\n

Mission-Vision-Values View<\/h4>\n

This view can be used to represent the organization\u2019s mission, vision and core values. Mission expresses e.g. \u201cWhat is the organization\u2019s purpose, what is it actually doing or intents to do, what is the primary reason for its existence?\u201d Vision is the future state towards which the organization intents to evolve. Core values are what support the vision, shape the culture, and reflect what the organization\u00a0values. Strategic goals\u00a0need to be accomplished in order to achieve the\u00a0vision of the\u00a0organisation.<\/p>\n

Value Map View<\/h4>\n

This view can be used for visualization of the strategies of the organization. This view contains strategic value-elements, from which all the development activities have to be derived \u2013 directly or indirectly. By visualizing the strategic values, it can be possible to trace all the other elements that are involved with the actual strategy execution. With this view, the strategy can be made available: visualized, communicated and linked to the reality.<\/p>\n

Stakeholder View<\/h4>\n

This view can be used for linking stakeholder\u2019s drivers to business goals. Goals are the key elements\u00a0of development in an organization. All the subsequent elements should be traced back to these primary reasons for all the change activities.<\/p>\n

Stakeholder Analysis View<\/h4>\n

This view can be used for stakeholder analysis for business development purposes: what are the drivers for change. First\u00a0identify the relevant stakeholders and then the drivers for change that are in the interests of them. The \u201cAssesment\u201d concepts can be used for detailed analysis of drivers, e.g. according to\u00a0SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) \u00a0method. As typical, distinct stakeholder view diagrams can be created from different viewpoints. Another reason for splitting large diagrams into smaller, is\u00a0to keep the diagrams compact and readable \u2013\u00a0for the sake of simplicity.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/h3>\n

Motivation views are very valuable for designing the purpose of a development target. It is important to have an overall understanding WHY some development is important to do. However, this part of the design phase can be left out in hurry to jump into the implementation. Motivation elements and view can used for Business Case analysis, which should be MUST for each and every development target in the very early ideation phase…<\/p>\n
