Major business change initiatives often fail because there is a gap between leadership's stated vision and strategy and what is ultimately delivered. This can be addressed through developing a business architecture, which bridges this gap by providing a common framework that aligns people, processes, technology, and other assets to achieve the desired outcomes. An effective business architecture increases the chances of implementing major changes successfully in one try. It should be used for large, complex changes but may not be needed for small, routine improvements.
The Business Analysts Role in Agile Software Developmentallan kelly
The document discusses the role of business analysts in agile software development. It argues that the product owner role is often filled by a business analyst. While business analysts take a backseat in early agile adoption, their role becomes more important as teams become more effective in delivering business needs. Specifically, business analysts are key to reducing unnecessary work through improved analysis and requirements. The document recommends a ratio of one business analyst for every 3-7 developers, depending on how stable the product is and how rapidly requirements change.
MEGA Webinar - PwC - Baker/Tong - EA & GRC, Separated at BirthDavid Baker
1. The document discusses the similarities between enterprise architecture (EA) and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) approaches and how EA techniques can help address complications that arise in implementing GRC programs.
2. Key issues that GRC programs face include fragmented risk views, work performed in silos, ensuring compliance with boundaries, and overreliance on checklists.
3. EA can help with these issues by linking risk management to strategy, providing a holistic operating model, establishing an "EA constitution" to guide compliance, and managing by outcomes rather than checklists. The document argues that GRC and EA ultimately work toward the same goals.
iBusiness Solutions uses a 3-step approach to project delivery that focuses on planning, visualizing, and building. It turns the typical project model on its head by focusing on what can be accomplished within budget and using budget and time to identify the highest value scope items. The approach involves detailed planning, creating visual models of requirements and processes, and building the solution through iterative development while resisting jumping to technology too quickly. This accelerated approach aims to deliver benefits faster by avoiding rework through early testing and improved responsiveness to changes.
Business architecture is a disciplined approach to creating and maintaining a set of business-owned information assets that serve as a blueprint for planning and executing strategy. Organizations can take a top-down or bottom-up approach to business architecture. A bottom-up approach focuses on techniques and best practices among operational teams but may lack strategic alignment. A top-down approach ties documentation to strategic goals but can lack tactical execution. Most organizations get stuck taking both approaches without integrating them, failing to connect strategic goals to operations. To be successful, an organization needs both senior leadership buy-in and skills in business architecture modeling, bringing together strategy and analysis.

Enterprise Business Architecture in Practice -- Leveraging EBA for Success on...SteveMelville
Pragmatic recommendations for leveraging Enterprise Business Architecture (EBA) to avoid common pitfalls of ERP/CRM projects. While there is ample literature on the theory and concepts of Enterprise Business Architecture, this talk distills recommendations gleaned from actually having tried to apply EBA on Sun Microsystems "IBIS" project. This multi-year, multi-deployment program impacted more than 250 business processes spanning virtually all of Sun\'s core value streams: Concept-to-Offering, Campaign-to-Sales Order, Order-to-Cash, Supply Chain Plan-to-Stock, Issue-to-Resolution, and Financial Accounting-to-Reporting. It targeted more than 50% of Sun\'s entire application portfolio for replacement. The presentation describes how EBA can be leveraged to avoid the cost overruns, schedule slips, and missed business expectations that are often encountered on ERP/CRM implementation efforts.
This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on successful IT business integration. Some key points:
1. It discusses the challenges facing IT and business executives in a difficult economic environment with flat IT budgets and increased pressure to demonstrate value.
2. Statistics are presented on top business and technology priorities from a Gartner survey, showing business process improvement and business intelligence as the top priorities.
3. An approach is outlined to transform organizations through self-assessment, defining strategic outcomes, and using balanced scorecards to drive change and close competency gaps.
4. The importance of IT business alignment, governance, and moving from an operational to strategic focus is emphasized to support business goals.
Enterprise architecture (EA) addresses problems caused by increasing IT system complexity and poor business alignment. EA frameworks provide guidance for developing an organization-specific architecture that embodies best practices and ensures all domains are adequately addressed. The most commonly used EA frameworks are the Zachman Framework, TOGAF, FEA, and Gartner Methodology. TOGAF provides both a framework for architectural content and an iterative architecture development method (ADM) comprised of phases to develop the EA. EA benefits include more efficient IT operations, reduced investment risk, and return on investment through greater flexibility, reduced complexity, and faster delivery.
The document discusses using business capability analysis to provide a lean-agile approach to enterprise analysis. It describes modeling business capabilities to present a graphical view of the business value stream and specify value through a relative assessment of capabilities. The value of capability analysis is that it can provide business context, facilitate discovery of good answers quickly, and promote feedback to focus on business value.
