• Target Business Architecture, Version 1.0 (detailed), including:

  • Organization structure - identifying business locations and relating them to organizational units

  • Technical requirements - identifying, categorizing, and prioritizing the implications for work in the remaining architecture domains; for example, by a dependency/priority matrix (for example, guiding trade-off between speed of transaction processing and security); list the specific models that are expected to be produced (for example, expressed as primitives of the Zachman Framework)
  • Updated business requirements
• Business Architecture components of an Architecture Roadmap (see Part IV, 36.2.7 Architecture Roadmap)
