Motive

The purpose of the functional architecture and its views is to

  • provide mental models that all of its stakeholders interpret in sufficiently the same way, so as to be able to talk, think and discuss about what it is we try to achieve and ways to achieve this;
  • help inventory and subsequently address any (other) concerns and issues of every one of its stakeholders;
  • help achieve interoperability both at the technical and at the business levels.
