Available Reports
Bpanda offers you various reports for architecture elements.
You can see the results under Architecture on the Reports tab.
Which of these reports run in your Process Space is decided by a BPM Manager. See Define architecture settings.
Impermissible is not the same as invalid. Impermissible means: the element type is no longer activated in the Process Space, or the relation is not permitted between these two types according to ArchiMate®. Invalid can only apply to an element of the type Business Process: it becomes invalid when its process version no longer applies.
Reports
| Report | Categories | Required architecture elements | Required status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture elements without relations | Quality, Governance, BPM, EAM | No special architecture elements required. | Architecture elements: Published, Draft | The report shows all architecture elements that have no active relations to other elements and therefore stand isolated in the model. The donut chart visualizes the distribution of these elements by type, while the table lists the specific elements including owners and status (Published/Draft). This allows you to quickly identify and fix model gaps and quality issues. |
| Architecture elements without owners | Governance, Risk, BPM, EAM | No special architecture elements required. | Architecture elements: Published, Draft | The report shows how many architecture elements exist without an assigned owner. The table lists these elements with their creation and publication date as well as their status. Suitable for quickly identifying governance gaps and following up on responsibilities. Business processes are excluded — their owners are held at the process. |
| Business Continuity Management Report | EAM, Risk, Compliance, BPM, Performance | Business process, with the properties BCM relevance, Recovery time objective (RTO, in hours) and Recovery point objective (RPO, in hours) | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | The BCM report shows how critical processes are for business continuity. Processes are evaluated on the basis of BCM relevance, recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) and presented by criticality. The chart shows which processes must be safeguarded or restored as a priority in an emergency. |
| Digitalization progress and potential | Performance, BPM, Optimization, Innovation | Business process, with the properties Degree of digitalization: Actual (in %) and Degree of digitalization: Realistic potential (in %) | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | The report shows the current degree of digitalization and the realistic automation potential for all business processes on a scale of 0–100 %. The realistic potential makes visible how far a process can still be digitalized and what remaining need for action there is. The report is based on the BVA process DIGI analysis methodology (Bundesverwaltungsamt, digitalization toolkit). The degree of digitalization corresponds to the proportion of activities classified as “digitally integrated” or “automatic”; “digitally manual” (e.g. Excel, email) counts towards the manual side. |
| GDPR-relevant data processing | Compliance, Risk, BPM, EAM | Business object, with the property Personal data; Business process | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | The report shows which business objects contain personal data and in which processes this data is processed. A donut chart visualizes the distribution of the classification (personal/non-personal). The table provides the associated data objects, their owners and the processes in which this information is used. This gives you a clear overview of all GDPR-relevant data flows in your company. |
| Latest architecture elements | Strategy, Innovation, Performance, EAM | No special architecture elements required. | Architecture elements: Published | The report lists all architecture elements created within the last twelve months, sorted by publication date. The table also shows the respective owners, providing a quick overview of the latest architecture activities. |
| Processes without applications and technical support | Optimization, EAM, Innovation, BPM, Performance | Business process | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | The report identifies all business processes that have no serving relation to applications or technical systems. Such processes are carried out entirely manually or without documented IT support and represent potential risks to efficiency, quality and scalability. The report checks serving relations to application components, application services, application interfaces and system software. All processes that show no connection whatsoever to these elements are taken into account and then grouped by their process hierarchy. The detail table supplements the view with the process name, hierarchy and owners, so that responsibilities can be clearly assigned and areas for action addressed in a targeted manner. |
| Scoring by digitalization potential | Optimization, Strategy, EAM, Innovation, BPM | Business process, with the properties Degree of digitalization, Frequency of process execution, Total duration, Process structure and Compliance relevance | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | The scoring model evaluates processes on the basis of five criteria: degree of digitalization, frequency, total duration, structure and compliance relevance. An overall score is derived from these. The higher the score, the greater the digitalization potential. Automation potential arises in particular for frequently performed, time-intensive and clearly structured processes that have so far run manually or are compliance-relevant. The processes are prioritized in descending order of score so that the most effective digitalization initiatives are implemented first. |
| Scoring by AI potential | Optimization, Strategy, EAM, Innovation, BPM | Business process, with the properties AI potential, Frequency of process execution, Process structure and Compliance relevance | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | The scoring model evaluates processes according to their potential for the use of artificial intelligence. An overall score is formed on the basis of the criteria AI potential, frequency, structure and compliance relevance; they are listed individually under Criteria of the AI potential assessment. The higher the score, the greater the expected benefit from AI support. This allows the most promising AI application areas to be identified and prioritized in a targeted manner. |
| Process maturity level overview (CMMI) | Quality, Performance, Optimization, BPM | Business process, with the property Maturity level (CMMI) | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | Shows the number of business processes by their maturity level based on the CMMI model (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and identifies areas for improvement. |
| Process maturity level overview (simple) | Quality, Performance, BPM | Business process, with the property Maturity level (simple) | Architecture elements: Published Processes: Published | Shows the number of business processes by their maturity level and identifies areas for improvement. |
| Impermissible architecture elements | Governance, Quality, Compliance, EAM, BPM | No special architecture elements required. | Architecture elements: Published, Draft | The report shows all architecture elements whose element type is no longer among the element types permitted for this Process Space. This allows inconsistencies in architecture modeling to be uncovered and the element types to be corrected in a targeted manner. Such elements arise, for example, when an element type is deselected in the architecture settings. |
| Impermissible relations | Quality, Governance, Compliance, BPM, EAM | No special architecture elements required. | Architecture elements: Published, Draft | The report identifies all relations between architecture elements that are considered impermissible, erroneous or inconsistent according to ArchiMate®. It helps you safeguard data quality and fix errors in a targeted manner so that analyses are based on correct data. Such relations arise, for example, when the type of an architecture element is changed afterwards. |
