The Five Business Value Pillars for the CCAR-P Exam

Align solutions to business value pillars (efficiency, transformation, productivity, cost, performance SLAs)

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
The five business value pillars are efficiency (doing the same work faster or with fewer resources), transformation (enabling work not previously possible or practical), productivity (increasing the output of the people already doing the work), and cost and performance SLAs (the budget and latency commitments a solution must operate within). Every architecture recommendation should be traceable to at least one pillar it advances.
