Orthogramic introduces a structured, schema-driven approach to business architecture that differs significantly from traditional BIZBOK practices. While BIZBOK encourages a craft-based, often selective documentation of capabilities and value streams, Orthogramic requires offers the chance to create a more technical and comprehensive engagement across all business architecture domains. to address this opportunity, Business architects using Orthogramic must need to adapt by systematically expanding documentation coverage and curating a cohesive, organisation-wide perspective.
...
The https://guide.user.orthogramic.com/wiki/spaces/OM sets clear expectations increases the opportunity for full domain coverage. Business architects are expected to can create and collect documentation across the following domains, among others:
Strategy
Capability
Value Stream
Information
Product and Service
Stakeholder
Organisation
Initiative
Policy
Performance
Each domain requires includes not just high-level descriptions, but structured, schema-aligned data. For example, documenting a Capability is not limited to a name and a broad definition; it must also include relationships to value streams, stakeholders, supporting information, policies, performance indicators, and initiatives.
...
To meet these expectations, business architects shouldwill benefit from these actions:
Audit existing documentation
Identify which domains are currently well-documented and where significant gaps exist. In many organisations, existing material will cover only a small subset, often focused on high-level strategy or operating models.Prioritise initial coverage
Begin by filling critical gaps that support current strategic initiatives, regulatory obligations, or operational imperatives. This ensures early value while building momentum for wider coverage.Create domain-specific document sets
For each domain, create dedicated documents or data entries aligned with Orthogramic's schemas. These can include detailed Capability maps, Policy catalogues, Initiative portfolios, Information asset registries, and Stakeholder mappings.Use structured templates
Orthogramic provides structure through its schemas. Use the available templates and guidance to ensure each domain entity includes mandatory properties and relationships. Where necessary, retrofit existing artefacts into the schema requirements.Establish curation routines
New documents should not be created once and forgotten. Regular review and curation are essential to maintain accuracy, relevance, and traceability as organisational strategies and structures evolve.
...
Unlike traditional approaches where documentation efforts can remain fragmented, Orthogramic requires that creates the opportunity for all domain perspectives to converge into a single, synthesised organisational view.
...
Business architects using Orthogramic must think best adapt by thinking beyond traditional practice. Moving towards a schema-driven, full-domain approach elevates business architecture from a craft focused on selected artefacts to a technical discipline capable of providing a real-time, holistic, and actionable view of the enterprise. This transition will not only improve the quality of architectural insights but will also enhance the business' ability to plan, align, execute, and adapt strategically.
