Summary

The TRAK PrVp-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture viewpoint defines the requirements for the TRAK PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture view. This involves allowed content and minimum acceptable content ('well-formedness' criteria). The TRAK00001. TRAK. Architecture Framework. Viewpoints specification also defines consistency rules that apply to a set of architecture views (an Architecture Description).

The TRAK PrVp-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture viewpoint content is summarised under the following sections:

stakeholder concerns
description
allowed content
well-formedness criteria
presentation methods
comments

The TRAK Architecture Viewpoints specification provides are complete definition not only of the PrVp-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture viewpoint but considerations for the architecture description formed from a set of architecture views.

Stakeholder Concerns

The TRAK PrVp-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture viewpoint addresses the following concerns:

Are their boundaries clear?
What responsibilities do organisations or jobs have in relation to a project or time?

held by stakeholders:

Acquirer (of Solution)
Builder (of Project)
Developer (of Solution)
Disposer (of Solution)
Maintainer (of Solution)
Owner (of Project)
Owner (of Solution)
Trainer (of Solution)

Concerns addressed by all the TRAK architecture viewpoints.

Description

Describes the extent of a role at a point in time.

Allowed Content

TRAK architecture view content is defined in terms of triples - Node - connector - Node e.g. 'System is configured with Organisation' that form short statements about the thing(s) being described.

Example of a 'System is configured with Organisation' subject triple for the PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility Architecture View

'System is configured with Organisation' is a Statement or Assertion in a PrV-03 Architecture View

The rationale for this is explained separately.

Subject Statements (Triples)

These are statements (triples) that describe the subject of the PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture view. Specifically these statements address the concerns for this PrVp-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture viewpoint. These form the basis for the well-formedness section of the PrVp-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture viewpoint.

There are 17 possible subject statements in total which include 9 metamodel elements ( Job , Milestone , Organisation , Physical , Project , Project Activity , Role , Software and System ).

Return to the top of the Procurement Responsibility page.

Job plays Role
Milestone marks introduction of System
Milestone marks removal of System
Organisation plays Role
Project Activity delivers System
Project Activity marked by Milestone
Project Activity removes System
Project owns Milestone
Project undertakes Project Activity
Role extends to System
System is configured with Job
System is configured with Organisation
System is configured with Physical
System is configured with Role
System is configured with Software
System is configured with System
System is necessary for Project Activity

Optional Statements (Triples)

These optional statements (triples) for the PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture view provide useful context with respect to a subject or universally allowed statements involving the subject or object (start or finish) elements in the Subject Statements (triples).

Universal statements may be added to any TRAK architecture view and describe typical concepts such as compliance or traceability:

... traces to Argument, Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard
... satisfies Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard
Concern or Claim about ...
Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard governs ...

Example of a 'Concern about Role' optional triple for the PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility Architecture View

'Concern about Role' - an optional statement or assertion for the PrV-03 Architecture View

These statements address the concerns of their respective architecture viewpoint and will have been created first on these other architecture views.

There are 117 possible statements which may be used to augment the PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture view, split into 5 groups:

Universal - Applicable Requirements
Universal - Assurance
Universal - Concern Identified
Universal - Requirement Compliance
Universal - Traceability or Reference

Well-Formedness Criteria

Well-formedness criteria define the minimum acceptable view content based on the subject statements (triples). These criteria are not yet represented within the model of TRAK. Please refer to the PrVp-03 Procurement Responsibility definition within the TRAK00001. TRAK. Architecture Framework. Viewpoints specification.

Presentation Methods

The PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility architecture view may use any of following means to the statements (triples):

Block diagram (Project, Project Activity, Milestone, Resource = block, TRAK relationship = line with direction indicator)
Nested form. The nested form is useful because it immediately makes clear that the responsibilities apply at/during a time period formed by the surrounding frame. It is essential that the relationships must be visible (see TRAK Bye Laws in TRAK Enterprise Architecture Framework document).

Note that a textual presentation is acceptable for any TRAK architecture view.

Comments

If you need to show responsibility extent independently of time use the SV-01 with the Organisation or Job plays Role extends to Resource construct.

Neighbouring Architecture Views
