Task: Construct Business Architectural Proof-of-Concept

This task describes how to build a proof-of-concept in a business context based on the most significant requirements.

Purpose

To synthesize at least one solution (which may simply be conceptual) that meets the critical architectural requirements

Relationships

Roles	Main: Business Architect	Additional: Business Designer Business-Process Analyst	Assisting:
Inputs	Mandatory: Business Architecture Document	Optional: Business Deployment Model Business Design Model	External: None
Outputs	Business Architectural Proof-of-Concept

Steps

Decide on the Construction Approach

Select the techniques to be used for construction of the Business Architectural Proof-of-Concept, for example:

Conceptual modeling
Simulation
A Business Prototype

Construct Business Architectural Proof-of-Concept

Depending on what construction approach has been chosen, a set of techniques, tools and assets will be used in building the proof-of-concept. The business architect needs to take in consideration a number of factors:

Coverage: the architecturally significant requirements need to be addressed by the proof-of-concept, using as the main source the defined use-case realizations.
Risks: a subset of the previously identified risks have to be driving the scope of the proof-of-concept
Results: the resulting artifact should help the business architect and other stakeholders get a better understanding of the problem and solution spaces, and improve the decision process.
