Stable-business profile
Purpose
The profile connects a working IT landscape to stable products and operations. It suits a company with several teams, formal services, and a need to coordinate changes across organizational boundaries.
Required extension
Compared with a startup, these become independent objects:
- channel;
- process;
- capability;
- information object;
- system and component as different decomposition levels;
- integration with direction, state, and transferred information.
An interface is introduced for significant contracts. Infrastructure is detailed for critical systems, availability requirements, and incident investigation.
Useful questions
- Which systems support a critical capability?
- Which processes and channels will a system change affect?
- Who owns the service, information, and integration?
- Where is information duplicated, and which source is authoritative?
Profile boundary
There is no need to model every endpoint, pod, or VLAN. If contract, network-zone, current/target, and regulatory governance become ongoing multi-team activities, use the enterprise profile.
