I finally finished the EA Optimisation Plan today – I focussed on how to get an ailing EA program back on track and focused on delivering value. Remember I believe in the Gartner definition for EA:
Enterprise architecture is the process of translating business vision and strategy into effective enterprise change by creating, communicating and improving the key requirements, principles and models that describe the enterprise's future state and enable its evolution. The scope of the enterprise architecture includes the people, processes, information and technology of the enterprise, and their relationships to one another and to the external environment. Enterprise architects compose holistic solutions that address the business challenges of the enterprise and support the governance needed to implement them.
I have grouped the tasks into seven key areas:
- Core EA Deliverables
- Communications Plan
- Current and Target Architecture
- IT Asset Portfolio
- Model and Diagramming Taxonomy
- EA Roles and Responsibilities
- EA Program Methodology
More to come on these!
