This Integrated Business Framework Model allows the federal government to better coordinate and document common business needs across agencies while focusing on outcomes, data, processes, and performance. It is a necessary first step toward standards that will enable economies of scale and leverage the government's purchasing power. Federal Business Lifecycles, functional areas, functions, and activities form the foundation for a shared understanding of what services agencies require and what solutions they should provide.
