Business and IT Architecture are the fundamental pillars of every digital transformation endeavor. The importance of their proper use during the planning phase of the project cannot be overestimated. Business architects should start with the capability map in order to identify targeted capabilities and then map these capabilities to the relevant initiatives, value streams, stakeholders, organizational units, and other architectural components. This approach guarantees minimization of costs and surprises during project execution, as well as effective change management practice.
