4. EA Implementation Methodology

5. Phase 1: EA Program Establishment
Step Activities
Establish the EA
Management Program and
identify a Chief Architect
• Executive sponsor (ES)
• Identify Chief architect (CA)
• EA team – e.g. EA consultants, architects, rep from stakeholder
Establish an EA
Implementation
Methodology
• CA and EA team
• Steps
• Public or private methodology
• Guide implementation and documentation activities and reduce risk.
Establish EA governance
and links to other
management programs
processes
• ES and CA
• Enables effective policy, planning and decision making
• Strategic, capital, workforce skills planning, project management
Develop an EA
Communication Plan and
gain stakeholder
• Contains the purpose and vision of the EA, how the EA will bring
value, EA documentation access, schedule and others.

6. Phase 1 Activity
Duration: 10 minutes
Write the response as post the EA Implementation forum on
Ulearn. Name the post as Phase 1 Acitivity
1. Who do you think would initiate the EA project?
2. Why is establish an EA implementation methodology is
important?
3. What is the output of Phase 1?

7. Phase 2: EA Framework and Tool Selection
Step Activities
Select an EA Documentation
Framework
Identify the EA Line of Business
and Crosscuts and the order of
their documentation
• Vertical and horizontal LOB
Identify the EA components to be
documented
Select documentation methods
appropriate for the framework
Select software / applications /
tools to support automated EA
documentation
• The choice of tools depends on the above steps
Select and establish an online EA
repository for documentation

8. Phase 2 Activity
Duration: 30-40 minutes
Write the response as post the EA Implementation forum on
Ulearn. Name the post as Phase 2 Activity
1. Give one example of an EA framework. Google it.
2. Give one example of a software / applications / tools to
support EA documentation. Google it.
3. Give one example of an online EA repository for
documentation. Google it.

9. Phase 3: Documentation of the EA
Step Activities (Your Notes)
Evaluate existing business and
technology documentation for use in
the EA
Document current views of existing
components in all framework areas
Develop several future business and
technology operating scenarios
Identify future planning assumptions
for each future scenarios
Use scenarios, program inputs and
scheduled updates to drive
documentation of structure
components all framework areas.
Develop an EA Management Plan to
sequence planned changes in the EA

10. Phase 3 Activity
Duration: 10 minutes
Write the response as post the EA Implementation forum on
Ulearn. Name the post as Phase 3 Activity
1. Summarize the activities in this phase.
2. What is the output of this Phase?

11. Phase 4: Use and Maintain EA
Step Activities (Your Notes)
Use EA information for
resource planning /
making
Regularly update current /
future views of EA
components
Maintain the EA repository
and modeling capabilities
Release yearly updates to
the EA Management Plan.

12. Summary
• A methodology consists of
• The EA methodology has four phases.
– Phase 1 – EA Program Establishment
– Phase 2 – EA Framework and Tools Selection
– Phase 3 – Documentation of EA
– Phase 4 – Use and Maintain EA
