VA Business Reference Model |
The VA Business Reference Model (VA BRM) is the authoritative model that incorporates all VA business Mission Areas, Capabilities, Service Lines, and Business Functions (including those of the Administrations and Staff Offices) to provide a holistic view of VA’s business operations.

This integrated model establishes a common functional taxonomy that can be used across the department to support Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) and other processes. The VA BRM also includes the services contained in the Federal Integrated Business Framework (FIBF), as well as the unique capabilities and business functions performed by the VA. |
