Business Architecture Document
[The introduction of the Business Architecture Document provides an overview of the entire Business Architecture Document. It needs to include the purpose, scope, definitions, acronyms, abbreviations, references and overview of the Business Architecture Document.]
This document provides a comprehensive architectural overview of the business, using a number of different architectural views to depict different aspects of the business. It is intended to capture and convey the significant architectural decisions which have been made on the business.
[This section defines the purpose of the Business Architecture Document, in the overall project documentation, and briefly describes the structure of the document. The specific audiences for the document should be identified, with an indication of how they are expected to use the document.]
[A brief description of what the Business Architecture Document applies to; what is affected or influenced by this document.]
[This subsection provides the definitions of all terms, acronyms, and abbreviations required to interpret properly the Business Architecture Document. This information may be provided by reference to the project's Business Glossary.]
[This subsection provides a complete list of all documents referenced elsewhere in the Business Architecture Document. Identify each document by title, report number if applicable, date, and publishing organization. Specify the sources from which the references can be obtained. This information may be provided by reference to an appendix or to another document.]
[This subsection describes what the rest of the Business Architecture Document contains and explains how the Business Architecture Document is organized.]

For the Business Process, Organization Structure, Culture, and Human Resource Aspects, it enumerates the views that are necessary, and for each view, explains what types of model elements it contains.]
[This section describes the requirements and objectives that have some significant impact on the business architecture: use of a particular technology, character of geographic distribution. It also captures the special constraints that may apply: standards, development tools, team structure, culture, and so on.]
[This section lists business use cases or business scenarios from the business use-case model if they represent some significant, central capability of the final business, or if they have a large architectural coverage—they exercise many architectural elements, or if they stress or illustrate a specific, delicate point of the business architecture.]
[This section describes the architecturally significant parts of the business object model, such as its decomposition into organization units. ]
[This section illustrates how the organization actually works by giving a few selected business use-case (or scenario) realizations, and explains how the various business object model elements contribute to their functionality.]
[This section describes the cultural characteristics of the organization, as well as the mechanisms that are put in place to encourage those characteristics.]
[This section describes the mechanisms that are put in place to culture and develop the human resources of the organization.]
[This section describes key elements of a domain model for the organization.]
[A description of the major dimensioning characteristics of the business that impact the business architecture, as well as the target performance constraints.]
[A description of how the business architecture contributes to all capabilities (other than functionality) of the business: extensibility, reliability, ability to growth, and so on.]
