Manage the Department of Defense Business Mission The Manage the Department of Defense Business Mission (A0) activity model diagram represents the first level decomposition of the Manage the Department of Defense Business Mission activity shown on the A-0 context diagram. The activities shown in this A0 diagram are the core high level activities performed by the DoD Business Mission Area (BMA) in support of the warfighter, and are the same activities shown in the first decomposed line of the activity node tree. Each of the activities shown have child diagrams attached that represent further decompositions of these main activities and their associated information dependencies. Activities that do not have corresponding decompositions are the focus of future iterations of the BEA. The A0 diagram also shows as Inputs, Controls, Outputs, and Mechanisms (ICOM) the information dependencies between the core activities that are converted into high level information exchange requirements between the Business Enterprise Priorities (BEPs) that the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) represents as well as information flows with activities outside of the BEA. At the A0 level, the ICOM match the level of decomposition of the activities on the diagram. The relationship of child ICOM to parents are shown at subsequent activity model diagrams, where the break-out of parent ICOM into more detailed child information is appropriate.
Manage the Department of Defense Business Mission Context The Manage the Department of Defense Business Mission A-0 context diagram is the highest level representation of the Department of Defense Operational Activities for the Business Mission Area. This single, integrated, high-level Activity Model provides the context for linking and grouping supporting Operational Activities within the DoD business environment, and provides the structural starting point for the more detailed Activity Models that comprise the BEA OV-5. The framework and methodology applied focused on developing a capabilities -based architecture whose content and purpose unifies the Department's Core Business Mission areas (CBMs) around identified Business Enterprise Priorities (BEPs). The OV-5 Activity model for BEA contributes in enabling the achievement of the following objectives: 1. Describing DoD enterprise Core Business Mission activities as they relate to Business Enterprise Priorities of the DoD. 2. Providing the foundation for DoD investment management criteria for systems certification. 3. Establishing inter operable federated architecture procedures. 4. Providing the foundation to accelerate outcome-based architecture development and implementation. The outcome-focused approach combined business, technology, and governance and enabled DoD to leverage only those attributes of the Department of Defense's Architecture Framework (DoDAF) necessary and sufficient to address the Department's business capabilities at the enterprise level. The Enterprise-level BEA OV-5 defines the To-Be activities and business information required to optimize DoD business operations in support of the warfighter. This overall approach ensures: 1. The architecture identifies high-level activities and future business functions that are essential to accomplish business enterprise priorities across the entire department - regardless of traditional boundaries. 2. DoD aligns its Business Enterprise Architecture (included in the DoD Global Information Grid) with the Federal Enterprise Architecture. 3. DoD is applying guidelines - from DoDAF and from the fiscal year (FY) 2005 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) - to BEA development.
