English: Conduct Business Process Reengineering

Business Process Reengineering or BPR is the discipline of first analyzing and then redesigning current business processes and their components in terms of their effectiveness, efficiency and added value contribution to the objectives of the business. The Conduct Business Process Reengineering Step is intended to gather and refine business requirements in support of a modernization effort for a defined business focus area (BFA).

The BPR Step begins with planning activities that include the formation of the BPR team, the creation of a BPR scope document, and an examination of existing blueprint artifacts that relate to a given BFA. During a facilitated BPR workshop, the BPR team examines the current and future business process models and refines the models as needed. Using information gathered during the BPR workshop, the team updates the BFA BRM Hierarchy Diagram with any additional function/activities identified; updates the Target Conceptual Data Model with any data subject areas or entities; updates the Conceptual Data Model to Business Function Matrix with any additional BRM to DRM mappings; updates the Target Conceptual Data Entity Stewardship Matrix; and updates the Integrated Target Services and Systems Model. Findings and recommendations resulting from the BPR workshop are formally presented to the IBAT/ARB. If deemed appropriate, the refined and documented business requirements will form the foundation for the development of a formal business case in the follow-on Step.
