''Får jag lov'' (Do I get the permit?) is a project being coopertively managed by the Swedish National Board of Housing (Boverket) and municipalities, software developers, universities, authorities and housing companies.
During the summer, we have worked hard to upgrade the Sparx configuration which we have developed for Prime Arch.
Questions about the meta-model behind Prime Arch are becoming more and more common, but also more basic questions about what a meta-model is and what you should use it for.
Two important aspects to assess the quality of a defined object in the business architecture are "name" and "description". The name should provide a guide to what the object represents, and the description should explain in more detail what the object represents. These criteria apply not least to named information sets in the information architecture, for example entity groups (I41) which are sometimes referred to as "IKEA boxes".
Many organizations use SAFe in their development work and a central part in the planning and implementation of the work is Program Increment. Many organizations use SAFe in their development work and a central part in the planning and implementation of the work is Program Increment.
In the article Plan for consolidating IT systems, we describe how applications can be classified in an overall way to get an idea of the potential to consolidate the number of systems in order to simplify and streamline application management.
There are many perceptions about Product and Service and what is what.
Now there is an article that describes how some different standards look at this and what names they have chosen for the objects at each level.
Does your organization use ArchiMate or Zachman to describe the business architecture? In recent years, have you become more agile in business development and use method frameworks such as SAFe?
Since the last release, we have worked hard to further develop the configuration of Prime Arch. Prime Arch has, among other things, been developed through two revised dimensions: Control and Implementation.
We have now published three articles that describe three different uses for what you can use a platform for:
How is a business that develops over time described?
Finally, Prime Arch has official support for modeling business models.
We have received questions from several users who use ArchiMate and who want to be able to model information.
We use an example to go through how to think when building your information architecture.
The C4 model is appealing in several respects. It is a good starting point for application modeling with a reservation because it can be a bit too much of a code description at a detailed level rather than a functional description.
Prime Arch is equipped with a new view type at level 4. Through combining value flows with swim lines in Prime Arch's standard notation, we can now create clear descriptions for responsibility allocation and collaboration between different organisations, in the same way as BPMN and UML.
From now on, the Prime Arch's stylistic symbols are available to be used for workshop notes. Simple to print and cut. Save the environment and laminate them for using over and over again.
Why should you use Prime Arch?
A solution dialogue is a structured dialogue between an IT-supplier and the business representatives.
Including the latest addition in the list of dimensions, Network, there are a total amount of 15 dimensions and one independent. Menu objects and lists become unnecessarily long. Therefore, we have divided them in two parts.
The Swedish National Board of Housin, Building and Planning (Boverket) has recently done a course in practical requirement modelling during 4 half-days. The course was held in Karlskrona with 20 participants both at the place and online via Skype.
Definitioner på Sprint, Användarberättelse och Användningsfall. We explain the concept of ''Use Case'' and ''User Story'' which could be confusingly similar.
