Business Process Cooperation viewpoint: a process chain in context

The ArchiMate Business Process Cooperation viewpoint relates business processes to each other and to their environment: the roles assigned to them, the objects they share and the application services that serve them.

Business Process Cooperation viewpoint: a process chain in context A Business Process Cooperation viewpoint, derived from the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification by The Open Group. Three business processes run left to right: Assess capacity triggers Design solution, which triggers Construct and energise. The roles Connection assessor, Network planner and Field technician are assigned to one process each. Assess capacity and Design solution both access a shared business object, the connection application, and a work scheduling application service serves Construct and energise. BUSINESS ROLE Connection assessor Owns the capacity verdict BUSINESS ROLE Network planner Owns the design choice BUSINESS ROLE Field technician Owns delivery on site BUSINESS PROCESS Assess capacity Checks headroom for the site BUSINESS PROCESS Design solution Specifies the works needed BUSINESS PROCESS Construct and energise Builds and switches on BUSINESS OBJECT Connection application One case file shared by both processes APPLICATION SERVICE Work scheduling service Plans crews and outage windows assigned to assigned to assigned to triggers triggers accesses accesses serves London Grid Distribution: deliver a new connection Derived from the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification, The Open Group

Use this view to give an operational manager a clear picture of process dependencies. The worked example follows London Grid Distribution delivering a new connection, from capacity assessment through design to an energised supply.

When an operational manager needs to see process dependencies before changing any one process.
