Task: Construct Business Architectural Proof-of-Concept
This task describes how to build a proof-of-concept in a business context based on the most significant requirements.
Disciplines: Business Modeling
Purpose

        Steps
        Decide on the Construction Approach

        Select the techniques to be used for construction of the Business Architectural Proof-of-Concept, for example:

        • Conceptual modeling
        • Simulation
        • A Business Prototype

         

        Construct Business Architectural Proof-of-Concept

        Depending on what construction approach has been chosen, a set of techniques, tools and assets will be used in building the proof-of-concept. The business architect needs to take in consideration a number of factors:

        • Coverage: the architecturally significant requirements need to be addressed by the proof-of-concept, using as the main source the defined use-case realizations.
        • Risks: a subset of the previously identified risks have to be driving the scope of the proof-of-concept
        • Results: the resulting artifact should help the business architect and other stakeholders get a better understanding of the problem and solution spaces, and improve the decision process.
