ADM Guidelines & Techniques Flashcards
collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in applying the TOGAF approach
TOGAF Standard approach for Stakeholder management
- Identify Stakeholder
- Classify Stakeholder Positions
- Determine Stakeholder Management Approach
- Tailor Engagement Deliverables
Interoperability
The ability to share information and services.
Operational or Business Interoperability
Defines how business processes are to be shared
Information Interoperability
Defines how information is to be shared
Technical Interoperability
Defines how technical services are to be shared or at least connect to one another
Presentation Integration/ Interoperability
It is where a common look-and-feel approach through a common portal-like solution guides the user to the underlying functionality of the set of systems
Information Integration/ Interoperability
It is where the corporate information is seamlessly shared between the various corporate applications to achieve, for example, a common set of client information
Application Integration/ Interoperability
It is where the corporate functionality is integrated and shareable so that the applications are not duplicated (e.g., one change of address service/component; not one for every application) and are seamlessly linked together through functionality such as workflow
Technical Integration/ Interoperability
It includes common methods and shared services for the communication, storage, processing, and access to data primarily in the application platform and communications infrastructure domains
Enterprise Operating Model
The necessary level of business process integration and
standardization for delivering goods and services to customers.
Business Information Interoperability Matrix vs ADM
Starts in Phase B, evolves in Phase C
Business Transformation Readiness Assessment
It is used for
evaluating and quantifying an organization’s readiness to undergo change.
Activities in Business Readiness assessment
- Determine the readiness factors that will impact the organization
- Present the readiness factors using maturity models
- Assess the readiness factors, including determination of readiness factor ratings
- Assess the risks for each readiness factor and identify improvement actions to mitigate the
risk - Work these actions into Phase E and F Implementation and Migration Plan
Business Transformation Enablement Program (BTEP) Readiness factors
Vision
Desire, Willingness & Resolve
Need
Business Case
Funding
Sponsorship & Leadership
Governance
Accountability
Workable Approach & Execution Model
IT Capacity to Execute
Enterprise Capacity to Execute
Enterprise Ability to Implement & Operate
Readiness factor assessment addresses
Readiness Factor Vision
Readiness Factor Rating
Readiness Factor Risks & Actions
Readiness Factor Vision
It is the determination of where the enterprise has to evolve to address the factor.
First, the factor should be assessed with respect to its base state and then its
target state.
Readiness Factor Rating
Urgency - it means that action is needed before a transformation initiative can begin
Readiness Status - Low (needs substantial work before proceeding), Fair (needs some work before proceeding), Acceptable (some readiness issues
exist; no showstoppers), Good (relatively minor issues exist), or High (no readiness issues)
Degree of Difficulty to Fix - No Action Needed, Easy, Moderate, or Difficult
Risk management
It is a technique used to mitigate risk when implementing
an architecture project.
Two levels of risk
Initial Level of Risk - Risk categorization prior to determining and implementing
mitigating actions
Residual Level of Risk - Risk categorization after implementation of mitigating actions (if
any)
Risk management process
- Risk classification
- Risk identification
- Initial risk assessment
- Risk mitigation and residual risk assessment
- Risk monitoring
Risk mitigation
Identification, planning, and conduct of actions that will reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
Risk management vs ADM
The risk identification and mitigation assessment worksheets are maintained as governance
artifacts and are kept up-to-date in Phase G (Implementation Governance) where risk
monitoring is conducted.
Implementation governance can identify critical risks that are not being mitigated and might
require another full or partial ADM cycle.
Successful capability-based planning is managed with
- Capability Dimensions - Capabilities are engineered/generated taking into consideration various dimensions that
straddle the corporate functional portfolios. - Capability Increments -
Interoperability vs ADM
Interoperability determination is done throughout ADM.
