]]> Enterprise Architecture Good Practices Guide, Now Available for Ordering http://www.enterprise-architecture.info jschekkerman@enterprise-architecture.info About the Book: Enterprise Architecture Good Practices Guide

The purpose of this guide is to provide guidance to organization's in initiating, developing, using, and maintaining their enterprise architecture (EA) practice. This guide offers a set of Enterprise Architecture Good Practices that have proven their benefits to organizations and that addresses an end-to-end process to initiate, implement, and sustain an EA program, and describes the necessary roles and associated responsibilities for a successful EA program.
Enterprise Architecture is a complete expression of the enterprise; a master plan which "acts as a collaboration force" between aspects of business planning such as goals, visions, strategies and governance principles; aspects of business operations such as business terms, organization structures, processes and data; aspects of automation such as information systems and databases; and the enabling technological infrastructure of the business such as computers, operating systems and networks.

While EA frameworks and models provide valuable guidance on the content of enterprise architectures, there is literally no guidance how to successfully manage the process of creating, changing, and using Enterprise Architecture.

This guidance is crucially important. Without it, it is highly unlikely that an organization can successfully produce a complete and enforceable EA for optimizing its business value and mission performance of its systems. For example, effective development of a complete EA needs a corporate commitment with senior management sponsorship. Enterprise Architecture development should be managed as a formal program by an Enterprise Architecture Department that is held accountable for success.

Since that EA facilitates change based upon the changing business environment of the organization, the enterprise architect is the organization's primary change agent.

Effective implementation requires establishment of business and system compliance with the enterprise architecture, as well as continuous assessment and enforcement of compliance. Waiver of these requirements may occur only after careful, thorough, and documented business case analysis. Without these commitments, responsibilities, and tools, the risk is great that business changes or new systems will not meet organizations business needs, will be incompatible, will perform poorly, and will cost more to develop, integrate, and maintain than is warranted.

]]> IEEE 1471 has been adopted by ISO as ISO/IEC 42010:2007 http://www.enterprise-architecture.info jschekkerman@enterprise-architecture.info

IEEE and ISO have begun joint revision of the standard which will become Systems and software engineering -- Architectural description. The revision will be undertaken by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 Working Group 42*
___________
* "42" because it is said that, "Architecture is the answer to life, the universe, and everything." :-)
___________

The joint revision has several goals:
to widen the scope of application from software-intensive systems to general systems architecture (including enterprise architecture);
to harmonize with the ISO systems engineering (ISO 15288) and software engineering (ISO 12207) life cycle processes; and
to align terms and concepts with other ISO architecture efforts, including RM-ODP (ISO 10746) and GERAM (ISO 15704).

Interested parties may participate in the revision either through their ISO member bodies, or through IEEE.
