Business and technology resources are aligned using Enterprise Architecture (EA) in order to achieve strategic results, make organizational performance better, and guide departments to fulfill their central missions more efficaciously.
Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) does that for any U.S. federal agency and helps systems transcend interagency boundaries.
This presentation discusses 1 of the 6 reference models of the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework—the Business Reference Model (BRM). The presentation provides a detailed overview of the 3 BRM methods:
1. Business Architecture for Decision Support
2. Business Process Modeling (BPM)
3. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
The slide deck also elucidates on BRM's structure, framework, touchpoints with other reference models, and BRM Taxonomy.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The FEAF Business Reference Model (BRM) PPT is an essential resource for federal agencies aiming to streamline their business functions. It provides a comprehensive taxonomy that assists in classifying business operations, ensuring uniformity across various levels of government. This classification supports cross-agency collaboration and enhances the efficiency of service delivery.
The document outlines the critical touchpoints between BRM and other reference models, highlighting how these interactions contribute to a cohesive enterprise architecture. By leveraging these touchpoints, agencies can identify data requirements, eliminate redundancies, and promote the reuse of existing solutions. This interconnected approach ensures that all aspects of the enterprise architecture are aligned with strategic goals.
The BRM framework is depicted through detailed visual aids, illustrating its structure and the layers of federal government it encompasses. These visuals serve as practical tools for understanding the model's application and its role in achieving mission success. The inclusion of templates further aids in the implementation process, providing a ready-to-use foundation for agencies to build upon.
The Business Reference Model (BRM) consists of 3 layers reflecting the operational tiers of the Federal government. The first layer, "Mission Sector," identifies ten key business functions across sectors such as Defense and Security, Economic and Financial, and Education and Workforce. The second layer, "Business Function," details 40 specific functions aligned with mission sectors, including Homeland Security and Intelligence Operations under Defense and Security. The third layer, "Service," outlines 228 services provided by the Federal government, enhancing operational efficiency. The BRM promotes cross-government collaboration, optimizing resources and improving service delivery, while serving as a foundational tool for analyzing IT investments and enhancing federal agency performance.
The Business Reference Model (BRM) within Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEAF) achieves 4 primary outcomes critical for organizational success. "Mission Success" emphasizes the need for coherent data to support effective planning and decision-making. "Functional Integration" highlights collaboration among programs and services, suggesting that enterprise architecture standards enhance operational efficiency. "Authoritative Reference" underscores the importance of a unified view of strategic goals and business services for program coordination. Lastly, "Resource Optimization" focuses on coherent resource management across all functional areas, critical for maximizing operational effectiveness. Each outcome interconnects, demonstrating that a holistic approach to enterprise architecture drives improvements in mission execution and operational efficiency.
This PPT slide outlines 3 primary Business Reference Model (BRM) methods: Business Architecture for Decision Support, Business Process Modeling (BPM), and Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). Business Architecture for Decision Support connects business strategy with organizational structures, identifying gaps and redundancies to enhance goal achievement. Business Process Modeling classifies core functions and services, particularly in the Federal Government, to improve efficiency and align processes with strategic objectives. BPMN is a standardized approach for model-based systems development, enabling business analysts to create clear process diagrams that address complex challenges, including exception handling. These BRM methods foster a structured environment for organizations to enhance operational capabilities.
This PPT slide focuses on Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and its application in complex business challenges. BPMN enables business analysts to create detailed, visually engaging process diagrams, essential for effective exception handling. It enhances the Unified Modeling Language (UML) by incorporating a broader range of process-oriented semantics, allowing organizations to execute business processes more effectively. The relationship between BPMN and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is highlighted, as BPEL automates business processes, crucial in the digital landscape. Concepts of choreography and orchestration are discussed in relation to automating processes using XML and web services. Finally, BPMN's integration with the Business Reference Model (BRM) enhances business process design, analysis, and rationalization, streamlining operations and improving efficiency.
The Val IT framework defines value through a comprehensive life-cycle perspective, focusing on 4 critical areas: Strategic Architecture, Business Architecture, Governance, and Performance Architecture. Strategic Architecture aligns organizational strategy with functions and technology, assessing the coherence between strategy and execution. Business Architecture emphasizes defining and modeling business processes, eliminating non-value-added tasks, and enhancing operational efficiency through technology. Governance highlights the importance of transparent performance measurements and effective management of performance thresholds. Performance Architecture ensures that success metrics are not only defined, but exceeded, prompting organizations to evaluate measurement processes. This structured approach helps organizations identify gaps and enhance performance and accountability, optimizing financial value scenarios.
This PPT slide outlines Business Architecture, linking business strategy to organizational structure and processes. It introduces the Performance Reference Model (PRM) and Business Reference Model (BRM) as frameworks for understanding organizational interconnections. The "Strategy and performance" section emphasizes defining goals, objectives, and metrics essential for achieving an organization’s mission. "Mission sectors" categorize the Federal Government's essential purposes, aligning functions with overarching goals. The "FEA BRM functions" section details specific functions within these sectors, while "FEA BRM sub-functions" illustrates how functions subdivide into granular processes for operational clarity. The "Department and agency business processes" section describes interconnected activities that support each function, emphasizing operational execution. Finally, the "Activity (LOB/SO level)" defines discrete tasks contributing to larger business objectives. This layered approach enhances understanding and performance within federal agencies.
