Description

The main objectives for this delivery process are:

  • Define the business modeling scope, what parts of the business should be the focus of the business modeling effort (captured in the Business Vision)
  • Define the architecture of the "to-be" business (captured in the Business Architecture Document), starting from the as-is state and the business requirements
  • Define in detail the design of the new business (captured in the Business Analysis Model and/or Business Design Model)
  • Develop the vision for the systems that will be developed or acquired (Vision documents for each system) and bootstrap the downstream development by providing a first cut of the Use-Case and Analysis models.

These objectives drive the main milestones and the phases associated with them.
