Business Architecture with ArchiMate

Practical examples of the business-oriented concepts in ArchiMate 

Complementary On-Demand Webinar

 

Business architecture is a growing discipline. The TOGAF® ecosystem has recently seen the addition of Guides on topics such as business capabilities, and the TOGAF Standard Version 9.2 (a standard of The Open Group) has added useful guidance on business architecture. The BIZBOK® (Business Architecture Body of Knowledge) continues to rise in popularity as well. The ArchiMate® modeling language has also improved its support for business architecture.

ArchiMate® 3.0 (a standard of The Open Group), was released in 2016 and comprises a number of concepts that specifically target this domain. With these concepts, ArchiMate models can be used in various analysis and design techniques for business architecture. This offers business architects a solid basis for their efforts and helps them create a line of sight between strategic decision making and the operational enterprise. 

In this webinar, Marc Lankhorst, who has led the team that developed the standard, will describes the business-oriented concepts in ArchiMate and provide practical examples of their use for business architecture. The presentation will show the use of ArchiMate in techniques such as stakeholder analysis, strategy mapping, capability-based planning, ecosystem modeling, business outcome journey maps, and more. Marc will also give a sneak peek into the next version of the standard, which aims to offer even more support for business architecture.
