The Implementation Matrix describes the mapping between the Resources / Operational / Summary & Overview Elements and Operational / Services / Strategic / Resources Elements directly or using the implied relations.

To create an Implementation Matrix

  1. Specify the Rows Scope. The available row scopes:
    • Resources Elements: Resource Performer, Function, Resource Interfaces, Resource Information, Resource Role, Resource Service, Resource Connector, and Resource Exchange.
    • Operational Elements: Operational Activity and Operational Information.
    • Service Elements: Service Interface.
    • Summary & Overview Elements: Architecture. 
  2. Specify the Columns Scope. The available column scoper:
    • Operational Elements: Operational Agent, Operational Activity, Operational Interface, Operational Information, Operational Role, Operational Connector, and Operational Exchange.
    • Services Elements: Service, Service Function, and Service Interface.
    • Strategic Elements: Actual Strategic Phase and Strategic Information.
    • Resource Elements: Resource Connector.
  3. Click the Refresh button.

The Resources / Operational / Summary & Overview Elements map to Operational / Services / Strategic / Resources Elements using the Implements relation.

You can swap the rows and columns by changing the axes in the matrix. 


To change the matrix axes

  • In the matric toolbar, click Change Axes.


To map the elements

  1. Double-click an empty intersection between the desired elements.


To remove the relation

  1. Double-click a full intersection between the desired elements.

The Implements relationship is available between the following element pairs:

  • Architecture and Actual Strategic Phase.
  • Function and Operational Activity or Service Function.
  • Operational Activity and Actual Strategic Phase.
  • Operational Information and Strategic Information.
  • Resource Connector and Operational Connector or Resource Connector.
  • Resource Exchange and Operational Exchange
  • Resource Information and Operational Information.
  • Resource Interface and Operational Interface or Service Interface.
  • Resource Performer and Operational Agent.
  • Resource Role and Operational Role.
  • Resource Service and Service.
  • Service Interface and Operational Interface.

You can choose which element pairs to show or hide in the Implementation matrix. 


To show/hide element pairs in the matrix

  1. In the matrix toolbar, click Show Element Pairs.
  2. Click to select or clear the selection of the element pairs.
