Dimensions (Layers)

In order to demonstrate different dimensions and to be able to shift the focus to specific aspects, Prime Arch's framework is structured in 6+1 layers where each layer demonstrates a logical coherent aspect of the business.

Levels

Different questions require different degrees of detail. A map of Europe is brilliant for answering the question of ''which lands are bordered with Italy?'' , but it is worthless to find Östhammar from Stockholm.

Different Types of Views

Descriptions of businesses can happen in different levels and different degrees of detailing. Choosing the level of description is determined by where in the development process we are, for example when it comes to a transition initiative.

This arcticle is based on the idea of describing the business in different levels. Read more about the concept of levels here.
