Architecture roles

Business architects bridge the gap between business strategy and delivery. They help business and delivery teams to understand how capabilities, the organisation and information contribute to delivering value, through organisational objectives.

Business architects typically create capability, information and organisation maps, value stream diagrams and business models. They employ techniques such as heat-mapping, to provide greater understanding of the landscape, enabling more efficient and effective delivery.

Business architect roles in DfE align with the Business architect role in the Government Digital and Data Capability Framework.
