- ArchiMate Training Package
- Need to align with APM+
- Additions to APM+ are possible and useful, but won't be leveraged by the APM+ dashboards / scripts out of the box
- No simple associations when possible
- Flow relations between application components, with Data Objects assigned to the flow relation
- No bidirectional flows in ArchiMate, so separate flows will be needed in some cases (but can share Data Objects)
- App Components will Serve Business Actors, which we assume are having the role of Business Unit
- Different roles can be defined but aren't used by APM+
- Sections
- History
- Overview of Aspects and Layers
- Overview of Relationships
- Suggested Relationships
- Composition vs. Aggregation vs. Nesting
- Stereotypes (BizzDesign-focused)
- Overview of APM+ -related elements
- Audience
- EAs, SAs, BAs
- Management – different slides
- Advice
- If it's structural, it's best represented via elements and relationships
- E.g. Business Units and what they are using
- If it's informative, it's likely best captured in attributes within BizzDesign
- E.g. Business Units owning / funding percentage of components, services
- Non-atomic information can be parsed from a list-like capability of APM+
- Composition vs. Aggregation
- Use Composition for elements of the same time, where the "parent" is made up of its children, which are a part of the composition
- "Part of" relationship
- Use Aggregation for elements that may be have several aggregation "parents"
- "Has a" relationship
- Use Composition for elements of the same time, where the "parent" is made up of its children, which are a part of the composition
- Landscapes
- Use App Components, with flows + associated data objects to represent integrations
- Define BU alignment by App Components Serving BU Business Actors
- If it's structural, it's best represented via elements and relationships
- Caveats
- Custom attributes / properties cannot be imported from Archi
- The attributes are exported from Archi, but ignored by BizzDesign
- Custom attributes / properties cannot be imported from Archi
- Need to align with APM+
