View DODAF:Operational Viewpoint
The Operationall Viewpoint is one of the 8 DODAF Viewpoints.
From ‘DODAF Viewpoints and Models - Operational Viewpoint’:
DoDAF-described Models in the Operational Viewpoint describe the tasks and activities, operational elements, and resource flow exchanges required to conduct operations. A pure operational model is materiel independent. However, operations and their relationships may be influenced by new technologies, such as collaboration technology, where process improvements are in practice before policy can reflect the new procedures. There may be some cases, as well, in which it is necessary to document the way activities are performed, given the restrictions of current systems, to examine ways in which new systems could facilitate streamlining the activities. In such cases, operational models may have materiel constraints and requirements that need to be addressed. For this reason, it may be necessary to include some high-level system architectural data to augment information onto the operational models.
The OV DoDAF-described Models may be used to describe a requirement for a “To-Be” architecture in logical terms, or as a simplified description of the key behavioral and information aspects of an “As-Is” architecture. The OV DoDAF-described Models re-use the capabilities defined in the Capability Viewpoint and put them in the context of an operation or scenario. The OV DoDAF-described Models can be used in a number of ways, including the development of user requirements, capturing future concepts, and supporting operational planning processes.
The DODAF Operational Viewpoint has the following 9 models:
- OV-1 High-Level Operational Concept Graphic Model
- OV-2 Operational Resource Flow Description Model
- OV-3 Operational Resource Flow Matrix Model
- OV-4 Organizational Relationships Chart Model
- OV-5a Operational Activity Decomposition Tree Model
- OV-5b Operational Activity Model
- OV-6a Operational Rules Model
- OV-6b State Transition Description Model
- OV-6c Event-Trace Description Model
There are in 52 models defined in the DOD Architecture Framework.
