Labnaf is a customizable all-in-one strategy and architecture framework that brings productivity, consistency and cross-discipline collaboration. One single modeling language, one single method and one single tool were natively integrated in Labnaf.
Labnaf semantically merges and extends standards into a meaningful strategy and architecture workflow.
Its strategy and architecture process is used for driving changes to the enterprise. It can be seen as a full implementation of the IT “Strategy to Portfolio” value stream, which is the first step in the IT Value Chain, as defined in the IT4IT standard.
“The Open Group IT4IT™ Reference Architecture is a standard reference architecture for managing the business of IT. It uses a value chain approach to create a model of the functions that IT performs to help organizations identify the activities that contribute to business competitiveness.”
LABNAF KEY FEATURES
ONE single language and transformation process where industry standards and best practices were merged
- Strategy and architecture standards have been semantically merged (rather than integrated) into a process and a supporting modeling language. These standards include ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010, IT4IT, TOGAF, Archimate, BPMN, PESTEL Analysis, Porter’s Five Forces Analysis, Business Model Generation, Strategy Map & Balanced Scorecard, SAFe and Gartner EA Stage Planning.
ONE single tool implementing the language and method
- The Labnaf strategy and architecture process, the modeling language and the repository structure are independent of their software implementation.
- The current software implementation is provided as a robust Sparx Enterprise Architect software extension. Sparx is the most common, yet very affordable, modeling platform (more than 750 000 licenses worldwide).
