SOA Symposium


What is Governance?

Establishing chains of responsibility,authority and communicationto empower people (decision rights)

Establishing measurement,policy, standards and control mechanisms to enable people to carry outtheir roles and responsibilities

What is Management?

Governance determines who is responsible for making the decisions; Management is the process of making and implementing the decisions

SOA Symposium


SOA Governance is a catalyst for improving overall IT governance

It’s all part of Corporate Governance

What is IT governance?

Establishing decision making rightsassociated with IT

Establishing mechanisms and policies used to measure and control the way IT decisions are made and carried out

What is SOA governance?

A specialization of IT governance focused on the lifecycle of services to ensure the business value of SOA

Compliance Check Point

Vitality Check Point

•If a project is compliant it can move onto the next phase

otherwise changes may be necessary.

•Each check point process defines the different

documentation required for that review.

•Compliance at project inception deals with design direction

decisions and funding.

•Vitality check points help ensure the SOA architecture stays

current.

Lessons Learned

17

SOA Symposium


SOA Governance Requires a Methodological and Rigorous Approach to be Successful

A comprehensive approach is needed to implement effective SOA

governance that will:

Assess the current organizational context of your organization

Define a governance model that the organization will accept and embrace

Leverage tooling to make governance operational and automatic

Function based on best practices, processes, principles, policies and a methodology

Watch out for some potential traps in implementing SOA governance:

SOA governance is not “one size fits all”

SOA governance is not driven by tools

SOA governance addresses the uniqueness of service orientation. Leverage and

extend IT governance to achieve SOA governance

SOA governance requires a non-siloed, consistent approach

SOA Symposium


SOA Governance Factors to Consider MUST DO’SIt’s More about Organizational Change and Processes, Less about Tooling

1. Garner C-level backing across the board

3. Establish an SOA funding model for the long term

4. An enterprise architecture facilitates initial establishment of SOA governance

5. Commit to roles, responsibilities and resources

6. Socialize the governance model

2. Engage the business and drive business value

7. Be Ready for SOA

18

SOA Symposium


Lesson #1 – “C-level” Backing Across the Board

SOA Governance absolutely requires buy-in and active support from the CxO level. It’s not enough to have the CIO on-board; the other CxO’s need to bring home the priority of SOA efforts to LOBs (where the funding often is).

Lack of real “C-level” understanding, commitment, and active support for SOA leaves governance efforts impotent, as incentives and enforcement for SOA on LOB projects are lacking.

With large-scale projects, SOA is often a sidecar to a bigger program effort; it will dwindle and eventually fail if the program is focused on “core” BAU functions that are challenging enough. CxOs can ensure that SOA stays center stage (or at least on it!).

Leadership absolutely must participate in the early stages of governance to clearly define the strategy, vision, principles, and processes for business to IT processes like funding.

This doesn’t mean that the CEO needs to be thinking about SOA every day; but they do have to lay down the law for compliance and back it up, even at the cost of short-term project delays.

SOA Symposium


Lesson #2 - Engage the Business and drive Business Value

An effective governance organization will have representation from both IT and the business.

This business participation is crucial so that business needs / requirements can be properly represented.

Avoid “this is how it was done …”.

Many times LoB’s will also own the various applications that provide required business functionality and which may be the foundation for many services

By focusing on driving business value SOA and the need for SOA governance becomes contagious across the organization. A dedicated focus on value will promote and facilitate LOB buy-in

19

SOA Symposium


Lesson #3 – Establish SOA Funding Model for the Long Term

There must be commitment to funding the dedicated resources necessary for SOA

stewardship (COE & Gov.). While “doing” SOA doesn’t necessarily mean wholesale

organizational change, there will need to be resources dedicated to SOA.

Roles and responsibilities (short & long term) for the COE in particular must be carefully

planned and funded. Understaffing SOA Governance or the COE as a token nod to

their importance is an SOA killer.

Some Governance roles will need to be permanent, and possibly full-time – plan and

fund accordingly.

Centralized, deep-skill SOA resources with an enterprise view for SOA are often

planned for at the start. In most cases, however, some subset will need to continue to

play an active role – perhaps as a shared pool that projects can leverage.

Funding for projects must be linked to the governance processes so that there is no

way around them. If there’s any way to shortcut the process, projects will take it.

Funding for SOA should seem to LOB projects like an advantage – not a penalty. A

creative model that rewards the LOB for serving the enterprise at large is

essential.

SOA Symposium


True SOA isn’t a departmental effort; it spans the enterprise*. Without access to an enterprise-level view of data, processes, interfaces, systems, service consumers, etc., it’s impossible to plan for enterprise-level reuse.

Project members usually don’t have visibility to entities and processes of other LOB’s nor the time to hunt them down to design every service for reusability. So, SOA becomes SOI – Services are used as EAI glue only; little to no reuse or business relevance. EA artifacts provide the necessary cross LOB visibility required by all parties.

SOA Governance needs a baseline to manage to; without EA, there is no foundation to govern against.

Lesson #4 - An Enterprise Architecture facilitates initial establishment of SOA governance

20

SOA Symposium


All too often, SOA roles and responsibilities are just piled on top of client personnel’s “day job”, so commitment to SOA falters. Clients often assign only 1-2 resources to participate in the governance design part-time, so the effort takes much longer and ends up a poor, ineffective fit for the organization.

There’s no getting around it: for SOA Governance implementations, some dedicated SOA resources will be necessary. We need to understand the existing roles & responsibilities of the folks tapped to participate to know how much time they will be able to commit to SOA.

Leadership must understand the level of effort required and enable enough key resources to make governance effective.

Lesson #5 – Commitment to Roles, Responsibilities, and Resources

SOA Symposium


Too often, SOA fails because the right people don’t understand the “So what” for SOA relevant to them and the enterprise at large. An SOA evangelist, someone in leadership with influence, deep business knowledge, and a keen understanding of the value in SOA can make a big difference in getting and keeping buy-in.

Communication of SOA concepts, efforts, governance how-to’s, and COE offerings is often the difference between SOA success and failure. Involve some folks (S&C) skilled in formal communication and education campaigns.

Metrics are the key to knowing the effectiveness of any effort. Collect dataperiodically to make sure SOA is gaining traction in projects, that it’s widely understood conceptually, that folks know where to turn, etc.

The COE’s role(s) must be understood, documented, and propagated so that it can play an effective role across LOBs. With deeply skilled resources, the COE can be a massive influence on the success of SOA in projects – but people have to know it’s there and what it does.

Lesson #6 – Get the Message Out

21

SOA Symposium


SOA requires a certain level of IT maturity. Likewise, SOA Governance requires a certain level of business and IT governance maturity. Take the time to make an impartial evaluation of readiness and start at the right level.

Environment overhaul and wholesale outsourcing introduce substantial chaos in the transition period. Establish some stability first, or address SOA foundation efforts and areas that are relatively stable for SOA. Otherwise, to ensure the success of SOA in the storm, significant project oversight and a deep commitment to SOA aspects is required.

If we’re boiling the ocean, and SOA is to stay afloat, it’s crucial that we don’t just replicate “business as usual”. Silo-oriented LOBs need to be evaluated and possibly restructured to enable enterprise-wide efforts and cooperation. Involve some Change experts from the beginning to facilitate this.

Lesson #7 – Be Ready for SOA

SOA Symposium


Summary

SOA Symposium


Summary

Governance is about establishing chains of responsibility, policies and control points.

The execution of key governance processes can be vastly improved through the use of software

The SOA Governance and Management Method offers a comprehensive methodology for formally establishing SOA Governance in an orgnization

Center of Excellence is a proven organizational structure often used to establish governance and realize an SOA roadmap

Always consider the following SOA Governance factors:

– C-level sponsorship

– Engage the business

– Define a Funding Model

– An EA facilitates the initial establishment of SOA governance

– Commit to roles, responsibilities and resources

– Get the message out

– Be ready for SOA
