 At the most basic level, the IT4IT Standard defines the “Digital Management” of “Digital Products” in
 order to create an efficient value delivery.
 {{:0:img1514.jpg?400|}}
+====== Top-Down Decomposition of the IT4IT Architecture ======
+The IT4IT Standard is about defining the value stream, the associated functions, and the data objects
+needed to control the planning, development, delivery, and run management of Digital Products. This
+can be seen as a factory for digital.
+====== The IT4IT Functionality Groups ======
+Functionality groups provide an abstraction of what is needed to manage the new digital reality in a
+way that helps to simplify conversations between interested stakeholders. In the IT4IT Standard, we
+use it to describe a collection of functionality and data that is responsible for a well-defined part of the
+overall value creation. We describe the groups at a high level, and we decompose one level to have
+well-defined categories for defining the Supporting Functionality.

+====== The Digital Value Network ======
+A traditional model for defining factories is Porter’s Value Chain concept [Porter]. This revision of the
+IT4IT Standard breaks with the Value Chain model and moves to the more recent concept of the Value
+Network. This reflects that value creation is a complex interaction within many systems and
+organizations.

+====== The Seven IT4IT Value Streams ======
+For the second decomposition, a split is made with the Digital Product as an abstract entity in a set of
+data objects that form the essence of the Digital Product Backbone. This is complemented with seven
+new value streams that, together, explain how to define and manage the delivery of digital value.
+{{:0:img1553.jpg?400|}}
+A value stream is a representation of an end-to-end collection of value-adding activities that create an
+overall result for a customer, stakeholder, or end user. For more detailed treatment of the definition of
+value streams; see the TOGAF Series Guide: Value Streams [G178].
+===== Evaluate =====
+The Evaluate value stream is about the continuous assessment and evaluation of the entire Digital
+Product Portfolio to optimize the alignment of the Product Portfolio with the business strategy,
+including the identification of new Digital Product opportunities that support business and technology
+objectives.
+===== Explore =====
+The Explore value stream continuously explores new features and/or future directions of a Digital
+Product aligned with strategic direction and business needs. It ensures the Product Design evolves to
+facilitate innovation and optimize business outcomes.
+===== Integrate =====
+The Integrate value stream continuously designs and builds new Product Releases and makes them
+ready for deployment to the market or the business. The Product Release is not limited to software
+development; this value stream is also applicable for the development of infrastructure building blocks
+and workplace services. The Product Release may be as large as an entire new product or as small as a
+hotfix or a patch.
+===== Deploy =====
+The Deploy value stream deploys a Product Release into a production/operating environment (creating
+a new instance or updating/removing an existing instance). The scope of this value stream includes
+many different strategies for deploying Product Releases.
+===== Release =====
+The Release value stream provides consumers with digital Service Offers that represent a new instance
+of a Digital Product or a change (including decommissioning) to an existing instance. A Service Offer
+defines how to subscribe to a Digital Product and all other lifecycle interactions the instance will have
+with its consumers, stakeholders, and support. The Service Offer can be made available for
+consumption through a self-service portal or through Application Program Interfaces (APIs).
+===== Consume =====
+The Consume value stream is triggered when an entitled human or system actor accepts a Service
+Offer related to a Digital Product. The value stream should support customer self-service and is not
+limited to a single engagement channel. It orchestrates the actions required to fulfill consumption of
+the offered service to ensure that the desired Digital Product is delivered within the agreed terms.
+===== Operate =====
+The Operate value stream manages the continuous operations of a deployed instance of a Digital
+Product in a continuous manner. It is responsible for maintaining availability and performance within
+the boundaries of agreed Service Contracts. The scope of this value stream includes managing any
+compliance and security aspects of running Digital Product Instances and underlying systems.
+====== The Seven IT4IT Value Streams ======
+The seven IT4IT Value Streams are defined in Chapter 5. Each IT4IT Value Stream depends upon an
+end-to-end flow of work – via data objects – through multiple functional components to deliver the
+expected result for the customer, stakeholder, or end user.
+The IT4IT Standard defines functional components as the application building blocks for managing
+Digital Products. Related functional components are associated together into four functional groups. A
+further decomposition is made from the four high-level functional groups into eight (sub-functional
+groups that must be established in order to manage Digital Products: Strategy, Portfolio, Develop, Test,
+Consume, Fulfill, Support, and Assure.
+Each functional group manages one or more data objects which are controlled by applications. The
+integrated data objects comprise the Digital Product Backbone and Service Offer Backbone which
+ensure traceability through the Digital Product Management lifecycle.

+====== Concepts Recap ======
+The IT4IT Standard defines seven value streams that manage the Digital Products. Information on the
+Digital Products is tracked through a set of interconnected data objects managed by functional
+components.
