DoDAF V2.0 Focus
Focus: architecture DATA,
not Products
Results: Better ANALYSIS and
Decisions.
DoDAF V2.0 provides overarching architecture concepts, guidance, best practices, and methods to enable and facilitate architecture development.
• DoD must identify Architect’s opportunities for Education & Training
• Identifies core KSAs Architects must have to be able to design, develop, and deliver DoD architectures that enable senior leader decision making and engineering design
• Analyze and define the types of architecture training at different levels of architecture
• DoD – IT Architects Career Path–Architects Series
• Define a certification requirement and process
White Paper: Outline
• Preface
• Introduction
• Purpose, Scope, and Approach
• Findings
• Recommended Way Ahead
The DoD Architect Competency Framework– A culmination of input gathered
through research, interviews, and workshops on the standard knowledge, skills, and abilities DoD Architects should obtain at varying levels of maturity.
Primary function is to develop architectures based on user requirements and input from subject matter experts
Level 2 Analysis
Primary function is to analyze architectures for the purposes of integration, interoperability, gap analysis, risk assessment, leveragability, compliance, and business decision making
Level 3Management
Primary function is to lead and manage an architecture effort through its entire lifecycle, from development to execution/implementation
White paper identifies the functions and associated KSAs for each level. These KSAs are independent of educational degree, working domain (contractor, civilian, military), or career title (GS level, rank, or role).
Roadmap to the Future
• Deliver an IT EA Education & Training Strategic Plan
• Deliver an architect careers plan
• Establish architecture specialties in Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
• Formalize a Architect’s Competency Framework
• Implement certification across architecture specialties
• Work with academic and educational institutions to enhance their curricula
