Business Architecture

QualiWare has included the PRG Framework for Business Architecture from the Process Renewal Group.

The Process Renewal Group model, which is the origin of the BPTrends methodology, was originally formulated in the mid-nineties and has undergone continuing evolution for twenty years to remain a modern way of designing a business. It incorporates the best of the approaches described so far combined with other ideas that have stood the test of time. Within the past year it has been subject to a significant update to connect traditional and new ideas into a comprehensive Business Architecture framework and methodology as depicted in the figure below. The diagram shows the main logic of the discovery and design process.

As can be seen in picture above, the framework support the phases from defining the business to its operation:

  • Define the Business
  • Design the Business
  • Build the Business
  • Operate the Business

The Framework has been modelled as an Architecture Framework in QualiWare. Each of the 4 phase are broken down into 4 areas (framework cells), and for each of the 16 cells we have mapped relevant QualiWare templates that supports the associated task.

The PRG Framework has been incorporated in the QualiWare version 10.9 as part of a dedicated dekstop for Business Architecture.
