Chief Architect Objectives
• Implement a sustainable Business Enterprise Architecture Governance Program (BEAGP) within current and evolving organizational end-to-end Project delivery
• Build SOA Governance and Unified Operating Models [UOM] • Discuss recommendations to complete the end-to-end Project
delivery together with SOA Unified Operating Models, “tying-together” the IT Strategy & Vision (ITSV) together with a new Business Enterprise Architecture Governance Program (BEAGP)
• Review strategic, tactical and operational recommendations to institutionalize a cohesive blending of IT Strategy & Vision together with Business Enterprise Architecture Governance Program using Pilot Programs and Simulations

Business Architecture currently being defined
Strongly Recommend institutionalizing the Business Enterprise Architecture Governance Program to ensure ongoing alignment with current IT Strategy & Vision processes
Business Enterprise Architecture Governance (BEAGP)
BEAGP processes, structure,s and roles will constantly be proposed, including
recommending on-going Pilot Simulations
BEAGP Vision is a process constantly being refreshed. Goal is to institutionalize this
capability in all BEAGP process, tools, roles, etc.
• E1 Piloting Discovery and reviewing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process, organization and artifacts • E2 Lean ITIL reviewing full SDLC starting at Technical Requirements • QA SDLC Definition driving E1 and E2 recommendations into Unified Process Method Composer • QA User Acceptance Testing (UAT) focused on testing improvements

Business Needs Drive End-to-End Process Update
! Establish Strategic business goals and objectives (e.g. Sustainability, Growth, Health Wellness, Excellence @ Day-to-Day)
! Define macro investments and critical dependencies based on macro business strategy, that feed capability definition in business architecture and other downstream activities (e.g. Solution Shaping)
! Decompose business goals and objectives into actionable business capabilities (i.e. Speed to market, 360 view of customer) with guidance from BEAGP Vision)

Strategy
! As solutions are refined into detailed design and then implemented, Architecture Governance provides
! A vehicle for stewarding the vision in downstream delivery and managing departures from the vision
! A feedback on what is actually being delivered against the vision

BEAGP Strategy provides the linkage to IT Strategy & Vision, and ensures target organization is a key input to Planning and Execution activities

External and Internal Forces Drive Change
• External & internal forces, coupled with complex execution dependencies, will accelerate and amplify the need to periodically update the vision.
Internal Forces • Acquisitions & divestitures • Development of strategies within BUs • Resource constraints
! Business and Operational drivers provide an ongoing need to perform rolling refreshes of the BEAGP vision
1 ! BEAGP vision process uses strategic plans, initiative ideas, planning estimates, and in-flight efforts as inputs
2 ! Prioritization, dependency, and cost analysis are iterated to define the BEAGP vision
! BEAGP vision is composed of business capabilities, timing and sequencing of changes, and an investment forecast

Transition
• Straw-man BEAGP vision frameworks and models (including economic) need to be developed as part of the latest refresh that can be used to maintain vision going forward:
– Activities must be performed by Enterprise Architects who also have delivery responsibilities to ensure the BEAGP vision is feasible and is updated with insights developed in implementation
– Maintenance of BEAGP will require 10-20% of an Business Enterprise Architect’s time.
– Current headcount does not provide the capacity to support vision refreshes in addition to solution shaping, blueprints, and PMO project architecture efforts
– Recommend pulling forward High $ investments from PMO to fund an additionally needed resources on an annual basis to provide the architecture capacity needed to maintain the BEAGP vision on an ongoing basis

BEAGP Vision Strategy & Vision Transition and Roles

• BEAGP is projected to increase delivery process improvements but will take time to reach full effectiveness”
– “X” projects will require “Discovery like” activities in years to come. – Other delivery process improvements will take time to roll-out across the enterprise
• Architecture Governance must place top resources in position to make key decisions that ensure the BEAGP vision is actually being delivered as intended
– Aligns capability delivery to strategies – Improves ROI by focusing IT investment on the right prioritized projects – Ensures compliance to IT standards and best practices – Forces explicit decision making so that if exceptions are made, they are elective
Vision Business Enterprise Architecture Governance Benefits Architecture Governance
Recommend Strategically funding BEAGP definition & pilot Architecture Governance Transition and Roles
• Scope of change in BEAGP effort will require architecture governance to ensure appropriate coordination across systems. BEAGP operating model estimates will include these activities given complexity – Ramp up is incorporating Architecture Governance detailed design
activities and will provide funding to launch the pilot. – CTO Architects (i.e. Enterprise, SOA Services, Information (MDM), etc.)
who understand the BEAGP vision, and have delivery responsibilities, will be required in architecture governance
• Roll out to other major programs, and eventually the full PMO, will require that Architecture Governance be included in estimates going forward – Architecture Governance activities will represent 10% of an Enterprise
Architect Group’s time – Architecture capacity will need to be actively managed to align with
demand for all architecture activities, including Architecture Governance – SOA has its own Architecture Governance and must be included

Next Steps
• Identify BEAGP resources/support/funding and PMO economic models to transition ownership from IT tactical processes currently in place
• Strategically launch Business Enterprise Architecture Governance Program (BEAGP) in conjunction with platform consolidation efforts
