RAPID
DELIVERY OF ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE
Section 1:
Enterprise Architecture for
Managers and IT
This section covers what
is commonly referred to as Business Architecture. One of the biggest
problems in achieving success in Enterprise Architecture is in getting
active participation from business managers and business experts. The
segments in this section demonstrate that business knowledge is vital for
success with EA. This knowledge is not an IT responsibility, but is the
responsibility of business managers and their expert staff. IT staff also
need to take a different approach in systems development, to build support
systems that can be easily changed to support rapid business change.
This course section shows
how business managers and their staff become actively involved, to drive the EA activity to success.
Two White Papers can be downloaded for detailed
reference after viewing the course segments in this section.
The Video column in the following table
provides the duration of each video segment, with the total duration of all
segments for this section also listed. The PDF column refers to the Handouts
(as Two per Page visuals in PDF) that can be downloaded to refer to, while

managers and IT staff.

Section 2: Using Strategy Analysis to
Define the Future
A key requirement for
success with Business Architecture is a focus on the future based on
Strategic Business Plans. Strategy Analysis is a rapid delivery method
for Strategic Planning. The course segments in this section show how to
use Strategy Analysis to develop business plans from scratch if they do
not yet exist, or how to refine existing business plans. Strategy
Analysis can also be used by IT staff to gain a detailed understanding
of the future business needs for inclusion in Project Requirements
Specifications. A Business Planning Questionnaire is provided as a
catalyst to develop new Business Plans from scratch or to refine
existing plans.
This course section
shows how business managers and their staff can become actively involved
in identifying future business needs, to drive
Enterprise Architecture to success. A White Paper
and a Business Planning Questionnaire can be downloaded for detailed
reference after viewing the course segments in this section.

Section 3: Strategic Modelling for
Rapid Delivery of EA
One of the biggest problems in
implementing Enterprise Architecture projects is the amount of
detail that is defined. The course segments in this section show how
to develop a high-level Strategic Model - as a conceptual Enterprise
Model - from Business Plans that focus on the future. It shows how
to analyze the Strategic Model, both manually and also
automatically, to derive project plans from the data model. Segment
3-04 extends the discipline of data modeling with new methods that
have not generally been seen or understood even by experienced data
modeling practitioners. Similarly the identification in Segment 3-03
of business activities and business processes from data models is
not widely appreciated. These new methods enable priority business
processes to be identified and extracted from complex data models -
along with the data that they need - as subprojects for rapid
delivery into production in 3-month increments.
A White Paper
and a Strategic Modelling Questionnaire
can be downloaded for
detailed reference after viewing the course segments in this
section.
This section and the following course sections are expected to be
available around September 2007.

Section 4: Real-World
Enterprise Architecture Projects
This section describes two real-world projects that applied the
methods covered in the previous sections of this webcast course
to develop and analyze a Strategic Model
for a Regional Bank and also for a
Government Agency. These projects documented this analysis in an
Enterprise Architecture Portfolio Plan (EAPP) Report for each
organization, for rapid delivery of priority processes into
production as systems in 3-month increments.
A White Paper on each project can
be downloaded for detailed reference after viewing the course
segments in this section.
