Using business architect features

The process composer is a business user-friendly web application. From the login page, it guides the user in the spirit of a business architecture methodology.

All the models that we create are part of a "space". On its entry page, the main structure is pided into business architecture models in BA projects, which are described in this chapter, and the BPMN type of business process models in "BPM projects", which are described in the following chapter.

It is a good practice to start with an enterprise map that depicts the business capabilities of our organization. The rationale is that the functions the organization is made of tend to be more stable and less a matter of interpretation and perspective than any business process view.

Enterprise maps can be used to put those value chains and process models into the organizational and application landscape context.

Oracle suggests organizing the business capabilities into three segments. Thus, the default enterprise map model is prepopulated through three default lanes: core, management, and support. In many organizations, this structure is feasible as it is up to you to either use them or create your own lanes.

Then we can define within each lane the key business capabilities that make up the core business processes.
