Business Process Cooperation: a chain held together by one shared object The ArchiMate Business Process Cooperation viewpoint relates processes to each other and their environment: three connection steps carry assigned roles, and the two early steps share one connection application they both read and update, which is what makes them cooperate.
Business Process Cooperation: a chain held together by one shared object
A Business Process Cooperation viewpoint in three horizontal bands, from the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification by The Open Group. The middle band holds the process chain: Assess capacity triggers Design solution, which triggers Construct and energise, left to right. The top band holds three business roles on calm panels, each dropped by an assigned to arrow onto the process below it. The bottom band holds an accent-tinted shared business object, the connection application, which both Assess capacity and Design solution access, and a neutral work scheduling service that serves Construct and energise. The shared object both early steps read and update is what makes them cooperate.
