I have just heard that I am about to commence a three month contract to create an EA program in a Victorian State government agency.
What does this (creating the EA Program) mean to me?
It means process - working out what the EA process should be and what all the other processes that EA should link to are. Procurement, project management, strategic planning, IT operations (i.e. ITIL)......what else have I forgotten? It has been a while since I have done this first hand - lots of advice to others.
It means people - 1) who will be impacted by my presence? Will there be any noses out of joint because I have been brought in to "fix" EA? 2) Who are the stakeholders of EA? 3) Who needs to contribute to the creation of the EA?........ who else have I forgotten?
It means deliverables - what are the products and services the EA will need to deliver to its customers? This I don't know until I get there because they vary so greatly from organisation to organisation.
So my plan for week 1 is to find answers to all these questions and develop detailed a program plan.
