Business-Driven Architecture is our view of architecture, developed on the premise that architecture is not an end, but a means, and the business must drive architecture composition.
The most viable, agile architectures will be comprised of a blend of architecture strategies, including (but not limited to) service-oriented architecture, event-driven architecture, process-based architecture, federated information, enterprise integration and open source adoption. How you blend, depends on your business.
In Business-Driven Architecture, enterprise architects are not only responsible for articulating the architecture, but also for actualizing the architecture, and introducing the architecture into IT business projects.
Business-Driven Architecture has a strong bias to action, business opportunity, and project and portfolio advancement.
