This plans and activities reduce the likelihood that sources of risk will emerge and negatively impact a program such as EA.
mitigating risk
It identified three general levels that are common to most social organizations (technical, managerial, and institutional), based on the observation that different types of activities occur at each level.
The Parsons/Thompson model
It can be defined as a potential of interaction of uncertainty.
Risk
It refers to a group of people who work together towards a common goal, such as a non-profit, a government agency, or a sports team.
Organization
It is a framework used in organizational theory to illustrate the relationship between four key elements of an organization: structure, technology, people, and tasks.
The Leavitt Diamond Model
Refers to a business commercial venture that is focuses on generating profits or revenue.
Enterprises
Everyone who is or will be affected by a policy, program, project, activity, or resource.
Stakeholder
It is evident in many aspects of how an organization functions.
Culture
It involves lowering or eliminating the uncertainty that desired outcomes will not be realized.
Managing risk
The ____ of EA is that it enhances resource-planning capabilities and supports better decision making.
Value
By providing comprehensive views of current capabilities and resources, as well as a set of plausible future operating scenarios that reveal needed changes in processes and resources.
Decision making
Each of theses skill sets is important to the program and the loss of members of the EA with those skills can create delays in program implementation, as well as effect implementation costs.
Loss of key personnel
Three Organizational Model
- The Leavitt Diamond Model
- The Parsons/Thompson Model
- The Organizational Network Model
Five types of risk that relates to the implementation and maintenance of an EA program.
- Financial
- Loss of key personnel
- Lack of acceptance
- Scheduled delays
- Documentation tools
The first core element which identifies the planning, decision-making, and oversight processes and groups that will determine how the EA is developed.
Governance
The analysis and documentation of an enterprise in its current and future states from an integrated strategy, business, and technology perspective.
Enterprise architecture
An organization or sub-activity whose boundary is defined by commonly held goals, processes, and resources.
Enterprise
The second core element is which are specific steps to establish and maintain an EA program, via the selected approach.
Methodology
Identifies the scope of the architecture to be developed and establishes relationships between the architecture’s areas.
The framework
Is a discipline that provides a framework, language, and set of principles for integrating and aligning various disciplines.
meta-discipline
are changeable goals, processes, standards, and resources that may extend enterprise-wide r be contained within a specific line of business or segment.
EA components
Identify business and technology standards for the enterprise in each domain, segment, and component of the EA. This includes recognized international, national, local, and industry standards as well as enterprise-specific standards.
Standards
Six Core Elements of Enterprise Architecture
- Governance
- Methodology
- framework
- artifacts
- standards
- best practice
Six EA analysis and Design Element
- EA components
- the framework
- current architecture
- future architecture
- EA management plan
- threads
is a structure for organizing
information that defines the scope of the architecture; what the EA program will document and the relationship of various areas of the architecture.
EA Framework
defines how the EA will be
implemented and how documentation will be developed, archived, and used; including the selection of a framework, modeling tools, and on-line repository.
EA Methodology
refers to the set of processes and steps followed to successfully implement an Enterprise Architecture framework within an organization.
Enterprise Architecture Implementation
Methodology
is a systematic approach used to analyze and document information related to a specific project,
problem, or situation. This framework involves breaking down the information into smaller
components and analyzing each component to gain a better understanding of the whole.
The Analysis and Documentation
Framework
defines “what” the EA
program will document.
EA framework
defines “how” that
documentation will be developed and
used.
EA methodology
Examples of Enterprise
Architecture Frameworks
The Zachman ISA Framework (1987 and 1992)
The Spewak EA Planning Method (1992)
The EA³ Cube Framework (2004)
is most effective when it is an integral part of the EA management
program and documentation methodology.
Security
One of the most important functions of the EA is that it provides
technology-related standards at all levels of the EA framework.
