Departments are specialized functional areas within an organization, having their own specified roles and objectives. Departments are subsets of business units.

Each department contributes to the overall strategy and goals of its related business unit. Using the Enterprise Architecture Workspace, departments can be associated with the relevant business units and the business applications that each department uses can be tracked efficiently. This enables for effective alignment of technology and applications with the requirements and objectives of both the department and its associated business unit.

You can also add users to a department.
