Organization goal

Purpose
The OrganizationGoal extension captures the strategic priorities placed on business architecture domains. These goals may apply at the whole-organisation level or be scoped to a specific organisational unit. Each goal includes a weighting (importance), coverage tolerance, and optionally a target maturity date.

Usage

Organisation goals inform prioritisation, document weighting, and dashboard visualisation. Where goals are defined for an orgUnit, they allow for more targeted maturity planning across business functions, departments, or divisions. Organisation-wide goals remain useful for setting default emphasis across the enterprise.

Core concepts

Domain weighting: Indicates relative strategic emphasis of each domain.
Tolerance: Determines how much deviation from target coverage is acceptable.
Strategic planning: Informs Orthogramic's scoring, recommendations, and prioritisation logic.
