Business Architect

As a Business Architect, you help define the organization’s needs based on strategic frameworks, translate them into concrete projects, contribute to the development of the Business Architecture, and support change across organization, processes, and IT.
You initiate projects by creating validated project charters and ensure a smooth handover to the Project Manager and project team once projects move into the definition phase.
From the enterprise architecture perspective, you further elaborate the business architecture content through in-depth business analyses with a project- and milestone-driven focus, ensuring that the impact of the chosen strategy becomes clear and enabling the business to make informed decisions.
You involve business stakeholders in the business analyses and in validating the proposed solutions.
You align the business architecture content with the IT Solution Architecture and communicate this alignment jointly with the IT Solution Architect to the project team, ensuring that the team can deliver the intended business solution with focus and clarity.
You monitor the business architecture during project or program execution.
You coach and share knowledge with others who take on roles such as business analyst, process analyst, or functional analyst within projects.
