From 2.0 to 3.0

A new package, Business Process Modeling, was added to describe the refinement of business use cases as a mechanism for the initial decomposition of an abstract description of business process. Concept pages were added to describe the elements of Component Business Modeling and Functional Area Analysis, as techniques for arriving at a definition of business architecture.

From 1.0 to 2.0

The main change has been the addition of a new package providing guidance around the requirements flowdown approach. This is a top-down approach of logically decomposing the business systems across multiple aspects driven by the chosen architectural viewpoints and views. The externally visible behavior of the business (sub) systems is modeled using the concept of operations. For more information, see the  Define Business Operations Capability Pattern.
