Architected Solution Delivery

Architected Solution Delivery: Enhancing the Service Oriented Process By Paul Allen and Paul Brown SOA Process Report

Introduction
The aim of the CBDI and TIBCO collaboration is to jointly publish a SO Process Framework that
Identifies each of the disciplines (a significant competency which has the ability to perform one or more activities) required to deliver and manage services and solutions
Enables interoperability by identifying the agreed deliverables that are exchanged between disciplines
Is an open published framework that can be adopted by other parties.
The value to user organizations is that as a consequence they should be able to:
Select best practice from either CBDI and TIBCO, or other participants at the discipline level
Better manage outsourcing or distributed development though a sharper focus on the disciplines and deliverables required, without unnecessarily constraining the participants to follow a specific way of working
Improve the interworking and collaboration between SOA efforts and software development projects
Provide a much more practical context for their SOA efforts that is related to the business needs that drive software development projects
Make software development projects more responsive and less costly through practical service reuse.

Improvements to the Consume Track
The consume track has been significantly enhanced with two new disciplines.
These changes allow the full spectrum of solutions to be covered:
from one which actually employs no services at all
to one founded upon existing services.
Solution Architecture Design
To integrate business process architecture and system architecture as smoothly as possible.
To identify the service requirements to enable the solution.
Solution Provisioning
To plan sourcing and usage of a solution
To specify and design the solution
To ensure the solution (as an integrated whole) is fit for purpose; analogous to service provisioning.

Improvements to the Enable Track
We have enhanced the enable track to provide a more complete process framework, running right through to solution operation.
The remaining enable disciplines have been broadened to include solutions and well as services platform design and installation, and operations and management.
Solution/Service Platform Architecture
To design both the solution and the service infrastructure in terms of available processors.
Previously this activity was confined to services; we now broaden the approach to encompass solutions.
Solution/Service Deployment
To install both solutions and services in their target run time environments according to their specifications.
Previously this activity was confined to services; we now recognize deployment as significant in its own right and broaden the approach to encompass solutions.

The Need for Coordinated Architecture Scope
As Solution Architecture & Design progresses so requirements for services emerge.
These service requirements must be assessed with respect to the wider enterprise view.
Hence the need for Coordinated Architecture Scope

Project charters produced by IT Strategy and Architecture that identify expected IT project costs and benefits, including projected Return on Investment from proposed services to be produced and reused by the projects.
The Service Oriented Business Plan output from SO Business Requirements Planning .
The Service Portfolio Plan (SPP) (for the enterprise or part of the enterprise), where this is available. Where an SPP is not available the service requirements must be evaluated with respect to the broader context and SOA policy evolved.
The Service Catalog and IT Inventory
Other outputs from IT Strategy and Architecture such as Enterprise Architecture models.
Assessing the Wider View Coordinated Architecture Scope: Inputs

Solution Provisioning
The Solution Provisioning discipline addresses the following needs:
to plan the sourcing, usage, testing and overall management of solutions
to specify and design the individual solution components
to ensure that solutions actually achieve their purpose.
This discipline recognizes the fact that solutions, no less than services, must be provisioned. In fact, the two disciplines of Solution Provisioning and Service Provisioning work in analogous fashion at different levels of abstraction and in a cyclic fashion.
