8.4 Business Architecture techniques

The 2 key techniques for defining the business architecture.

• Business capability modelling

Capability model represents, at a high level, what the organisation need to be able to do in order to deliver value to customers. This is based on:

  • strategic or direction setting: business planning, capital management, policy management.
  • core or customer facing: distribution, customer service, product development, account management.
  • supporting: staff recruitment, procurement, vendor management.
Organisation that documents and maintain business capabilities can change more quickly and effectively than those do not.

• Definition of a value stream

A value stream is an end-to-end collection of high level linear stages that create an outcome of value to a specific customer group, 

Value streams are used to identify, map and analyse the value exchanged between an organisation and various stakeholders (internal/external) that interact with it.

A value stream shows the main sequential stages which add value to customer.
