EXAMPLE: Use of TOGAF Methodology for Risk & Security Segment (source: http://www.infoq.com/news/2011/11/togaf-sabsa-integration?sf2540612=1http://www.infoq.com/news/2011/11/togaf-sabsa-integration?sf2540612=1

Example of TOGAF Modelling Components

Example : Cataloguing the EA artefacts
6
Zachman Framework BUT No methodology defined (Rezaei & Shams, 2008)Rezaei & Shams, 2008 Identifies & classifies what are the EA artefacts/components & their taxonomy structure
7
So what is in EA Work? Methodology How to do EA Framework How to organise Based on Steps involved are
8
Think Through Aspects of EA Program Management 1) Which parts of the organisation are you implementing EA? If all good If part – understand the EA limitations 2) EA Governance – checking EA compliance & risks mgt – is it centralised or decentralised? 3) What how to organise & format documentation? 4) What methods/techniques to use to document and model requirements and design artefacts? 5) What software tools to use for modelling & documentation? 6) Where to store & how to access? 7) When to update?

EA Team Given the mandate to develop 2 segments of DMC’s EA. First deliverable: business case & EA dev project plan DMC EA Plan: Financial & Production Segments Report Produced Inferred Methodology Contents EA Development timeline EA modelling steps involved Planning & decision making information specs, including preferred documents’ formats Selection of EA modelling techniques & tools EA scenarios – Current & Several Future views Agreement of planning assumptions Evaluation of Kate/Jim’s systems and retrofit in EA scenarios Explanation of how the EA methodology’s framework to structure DMC EA and guide its various EA modelling/ documentation activities This Meeting’s Goals Achieved: To Agree the proposed EA Methodology & EA Documentation Framework Inferred Business Case Contents Chosen Jim/Kate’s areas as the 2 EA segments because they cover several lines of business (LoB) Analyse DMC’s strategic goals, business activities & technology capabilities Specified the 2 areas’ business and ICT requirements
11
Case Study Qs 1.What are DMC’s EA methodology phases & steps? 2.How does DMC obtain stakeholders’ support? 3.Recommend DMC a schedule for updating the EA
12
What’s involved in the methodology? 1.Develop the business case, which also contain the business & ICT requirements for the 2 proposed systems 2.Modelling phase Inputs: o Business planning & decision making information o Documentation formats Modelling techniques & tools Processes & outputs o Current environment modelling o Future environment scenarios modelling o Future scenario recommendation Clues to the phases & steps involved in EA work Step 1: Identify all stakeholders & form project team Step 2: First meeting with project team to ensure understanding of the EA Methodology Step 1: Identify all stakeholders & form project team Step 2: First meeting with project team to ensure understanding of the EA Methodology Step 3: Stakeholders agree the EA Methodology & expected modelling outcomes

15
How often to change EA models/documentation? Every time one of the following changes: 1.A corporate level strategy, or 2.A business level strategy, or 3.A product level strategy, check if EA changes are also needed Time span may be annually or as when needed within a year.

Tutorial Questions Clues to help deepen understanding of some Qs
17
What is an EA Framework? Zachman EA Framework A Conceptual Framework of TOGAF Architecture Development Method Lecture Slide – EA 3 Framework US Gov’s FEA Framework What is an EA Framework ? Gartner EA Framework
18
Zachman EA Framework Lecture Slide – EA 3 Framework What is an EA Framework ? General Inferred Definition Conceptual frame for structuring and classifying EA “analysis and design” models/artefacts/specs/docs EA 3 definition: Is a structure for organising information that defines the documentation scope of an organisation’s EA
19
A Conceptual Framework of TOGAF Architecture Development Method What is an EA Framework ? Gartner EA Framework Another Inferred Definition Conceptual framework for structuring and classifying EA work processes
20
What is an EA Framework? US Gov’s FEA Framework Another Inferred Definition Conceptual frame for structuring and classifying EA Business Units (US Agencies) & their key mgt functions
21
What is an EA Framework? Zachman EA Framework A Conceptual Framework of TOGAF Architecture Development Method Lecture Slide – EA 3 Framework US Gov’s FEA Framework Gartner EA Framework Conceptual frame for structuring and classifying: 1.EA Products - EA Analysis & Design artefacts and/or 2.EA Processes - EA Work groups or process flows
22
What is a methodology? General Definitions Methodologies are discipline specific approaches and processes (Kinash, 2014)Kinash, 2014 In research, a methodology describes HOW research is systematically conducted, including disclosure of methods, why the methods were chosen and the limitations of the methods (Oregan State University, 2012)Oregan State University, 2012 Research methodology is an approach that systematically solve a research problem (Ansari, 2012)Ansari, 2012
23
What is an EA Methodology? EA 3 Methodology Definition “The EA Methodology defines how the EA will be implemented and how documentation will be developed, archived and used, including the selection of a framework, modelling tools and online repository” = HOW TO guide = Process guide
24
Revitalising an existing EA program Revitalise an existing EA program = improving an existing EA program MCQ6 : When revitalising an existing EA program: a. EA methodology should involve strict/rigid additional steps b. EA methodology should focus on the selections of different frameworks. c. EA methodology should focus on identification of a new Chief Architect d. All of above What do you think is the answer & why?
25
Part B: Discussion Questions Q1. What is an EA implementation methodology? Q2. What is the role of an EA framework within the EA methodology? Q3. What is the purpose of Phase I activities in the EA methodology? Q4. Why are Phase III activities dependent on the completion of Phase II? Q5. Compare and contrast the purpose of Phase II and Phase IV activities. Q6.Can the steps of the EA methodology be changed for different enterprises? Q7.Who is responsible for execution of the EA program and EA methodology? Q8.How often should an EA be updated? Why? Q9.Select a real world medium or large size enterprise and provide: a)The phases and steps of an appropriate EA implementation methodology. b)The way that EA stakeholder support will be obtained. c)The recommended schedule for updating the EA.
26
Role of EA Framework in EA Methodology EA Methodology = HOW to do EA work guide EA Framework Classification structure of EA products (work outputs) in EA3 (and may be process in other EA standards) Input to For the purposes of: 1.Scoping the documentation work involved; 2.Specifying the types and classification structure for organising EA work outputs or products (the EA artefacts) Give example in EA3 text to show how purpose 2 is realised (ORGANISING EA PRODUCTS) (EXECUTING EA PROCESSES)
