Business Process Modelling: Week 6 Report and Enterprise Architecture

This report delves into the intricacies of business process modelling (BPM) and its relationship with enterprise architecture (EA). It explores how EA is applied in a case study, highlighting transition planning and the balance between technology constraints and business opportunities. The report examines the application of BPM through Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and discusses the crucial link between EA and BPM, emphasizing how EA supports BPM by identifying factors beyond project boundaries. Furthermore, it analyzes the impact of incremental changes to EA blueprints on BPM processes and how BPM activities can affect the enterprise architecture. The report also addresses the handling of exception requests when BPM projects cannot comply with defined EA targets. The report concludes with a bibliography of relevant sources.

a) How EA is applied to the case study example:
Within the parameter of enterprise architecture, the practitioner carries out transition
planning activities on the basis of the organization’s architecture. The change in the projects has
to be done according the principles of enterprise architecture. In case any case study example is
followed it has to be understood that EA maintains the balance between the technology
constraints and business opportunities. After all the previous things are done, the enterprise
planning generates the city plan, recognizes appropriate alteration initiatives. In addition to that,
on the basis of the architectural governance and transition planning controls the project
development.
b) How BPM is applied to the case study example:
The business process management has been applied to the case study through the
development of business process modelling notation. The BPMN model is very associative in
understating the activities that are actually carried out the case study sample. This allows the
participant to recognize possible areas that are needed to be changed.
c) How EA and BPM is linked
The Business Process Management and Enterprise Architecture can be recognized often
within the information technology and business. The enterprise architecture carries out different
roles which depends upon the organizations. In terms of carrying out business process
management, the vision regarding the enterprise architecture must be broad so that the
architecture of the organization can be considered. The enterprise architecture assist the business
process management in identifying the factors that are beyond boundaries of the project thus
making the business process management better.

d) How an incremental change to the EA blueprints impacts the portfolio of
BPM processes:
The scenario is consisting of the factors such as following. Adjusting the procedure
portfolio objectives and constraints. Recognizing procedure portfolio impact and start alteration
projects. Keeping track of architectural compliance of alterations to the process portfolio.

The figure 1 visualizes the point placing the related collaborations upon the enterprise
landscape regarding a brown field environment along with present business process management
equipment The step identified as 1b illustrates that the recognizing scope of impact upon the
portfolio is absolutely critical.

e) How a BPM activity may affect the enterprise architecture:
In terms of carrying out business process management, the vision regarding the enterprise
architecture must be broad so that the architecture of the organization can be considered. The
enterprise architecture carries out different roles which depends upon the organizations. The
enterprise architecture assist the business process management in identifying the factors that are
beyond boundaries of the project thus making the business process management better.
f) How an exception request needs to be processed when a BPM project
cannot comply with defined EA targets
Special case taking care of is critical in the administration of hazard and multifaceted
nature and in addition the following of new advances and their prosperity. To keep up
straightforwardness and perceivability, exemptions should be overseen comprehensively all
through the undertaking, commonly including disciplines, ancient rarity areas, and apparatuses.
As an outcome, exemption taking care of might should be performed outside the nearby "tribal"
setting. The trigger for such externalized exemption dealing with is whether a special case is
major, a discernment that is sadly in respect to the eyes that see. Albeit no conclusive definition
can be given, we give here a choice of criteria that can help in the evaluation of a special case.
