Common Requirements
Vision
How can we articulate an organization’s future state
requirements holistically? Gartner provides a way of doing this by producing
Common Requirements Vision (CRV). After understanding the Enterprise vision and
analyzing the environment trends that impact the business, enterprise architects
can come up with CRV which links the business strategies with the trends and
future-state requirements. This exercise has to be done with participation of
both IT and business.
I was browsing the web to see examples of CRV to get an idea of the various ways this can be represented and came across
the Enterprise Architecture roadmap for the British Council.
I thought the CRV they came up with was very neat and easily
understood and made an impact. I’ve provided the URL for the same here.

I agree that the CRV is one of the most important items developed by EA. One of the primary purposes of EA is to link all the different parts of an organization together, so they all work towards the same things. Having representatives from each part of an organization come together to lay out what is important, and how that relates to operations in each section, is vitally important to making a business run effectively.
