01 - Introduction to Enterprise Architecture Flashcards
It is the art and science of designing complex structures, which involves fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment, embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the principles of its design and evolution.
Architecture
It is the strategic instrument in guiding an organization through a planned course of development.
Architecture
It is a collection of organizations that has a common set of goals, objectives, and/or a single targeted outcome.
Enterprise
It is a coherent collection of principles, methods, and models that are used in the design and realization of an enterprise’s organizational structure, business processes, information systems, and infrastructure.
Enterprise Architecture
It is composed of steps that originate from an idea, which are analyzed and designed, implemented as an operational system, and managed for maintenance and updates.
Architecture Process
These pertain to the organizational and IT infrastructure and processes.
Internal Drivers
These pertain to the business and IT strategies and standards.
External Drivers
It is the identification, selection, and implementation of an organization’s long-term goals and objectives.
Strategic Management
This is a management system that helps an enterprise to clarify and implement its vision and strategy.
Balanced Scorecard (BSC)
It is the development of a model that identifies the products or services the business will sell, the target market it has identified, and the expenses it anticipates.
Business Model Development
This is a template in creating high-level descriptions of new or existing business models.
Business Model Canvas
This is a blueprint of an enterprise that provides a common organizational understanding and is used to align strategic objectives and tactical demands.
Business Architecture
This provides a business-oriented abstraction of the enterprise in an ecosystem which translates strategies into actions.
Business Architecture
It is the act of overseeing different activities and tasks within an organization to ensure that the products and services offered, as well as the means used to achieve them, are effective in achieving and maintaining the desired level of quality within an organization.
Quality Management
It involves the processes that ensure the effective and efficient use of information technology in enabling an organization to achieve its goals.
IT Governance and Support
It is an internationally accepted IT control framework that provides organizations with a set of “good practices” that helps in implementing an IT governance structure throughout an organization.
Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT)
This is the most widely accepted set of best practices in the IT service delivery domain, which is composed of series of documents giving guidance on the provision of good IT services, including the facilities that need IT support, in a process-oriented approach.
Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
It involves the process of combining the developed software or application with the other management and engineering processes.
IT Implementation
This is a model that provides numerous guidelines for assessing the maturity of an organization and the improvements needed in various process areas to proceed from one level to the next.
Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)
Enumerate the five (5) maturity levels of CMMI.
- Initial
- Managed
- Defined
- Quantitatively Managed
- Optimizing
Processes are usually impromptu and chaotic.
Initial
Processes are planned, performed, measured, and controlled.
Managed
Processes are defined in terms of standards, procedures, tools, and methods.
Defined
Quantitative objectives for quality and process performance are established and used as criteria in managing process.
Quantitatively Managed
Processes are continuously improved in the technological aspect of the organization.
Optimizing
A standard developed by The Open Group.
ArchiMate (Language/Specification)
An open and independent modeling language for an enterprise architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms.
ArchiMate (Language/Specification)
Provides instruments that enable enterprise architecture to describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships among different business domains.
ArchiMate (Language/Specification)
A common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structure, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructures.
ArchiMate (Language/Specification)
This model expresses the properties of a system architecture using symbols that refer to reality.
Symbolic Model
This model interprets the meaning of each symbol in a symbolic model.
