Building Blocks Example

Introduction    Structure

Introduction

This and the following subsections provide a detailed worked example showing how building block context is captured, how building blocks are identified, and how building blocks are defined when executing the major steps of the Architecture Development Method.

Structure

The levels of modelling within the ADM are explained under Building Blocks and the ADM, and the example follows the structure of modelling explained there.

• Background to the Example.
• the Business Process level
• the Technical Functionality and Constraints level
• the Architectural Model level
• the Opportunity Identification level
• the Building Block Reuse level
