EA vs PPM
Business Expectations EA & PPM Challenges
• Increase focus on Business Value
• Increase knowledge of Business &
Information Architecture
• More collaboration, less silos
• Focus on prioritization
• Focus on delivering pragmatic &
immediate benefits
• Must understand & translate
business value into execution
• Soft skills are critical
• Understand enterprise
strategic priorities
• Architect for the business
• Work differently
5
EA vs PPM
The driver is “perceived value and cost.”
Add soft skills to express business
strategic priorities
Upskill talent and apply
collaboration models
Add technical knowledge of
business and information
architectures.

EA vs. PPM
Project and Portfolio Management is
driving the enterprise strategically forward.
Enterprise Architecture is the navigator, guiding
the enterprise forward towards the target state.
EA vs. PPM
The reality is both organizations have functional
differences but share ….
• The concept of strategies, portfolios, projects
• The goal to translate business and technical
strategies into high performance results.
Question? How can EA be the instrument by
which the PMO steers the portfolio?

Preliminary
Business
Case.
1. Determine the
architectural complexity
(e.g., services, business
and technical capabilities,
governance and risk
levels)
2. Identify candidate
architecture and
recommended approach
3. Define infrastructure
needs.
• Project risks assessed across architectural
domains
• Project reviewed and assessed for alignment
with capability and application target roadmaps
• Services identified and assessed for
correctness and potential reuse
• Business and technical capabilities assessed
for suitability and reuse
• Architectural options reviewed and assessed
across all architectural domains for
 pros/cons, benefits, business impacts
 technology impacts, standards,
dependencies
• Architectural recommendation on approach

Key Decision
Checklist from EA
(Enter a check mark for each EA decision met)
□ Alignment with the Target Architecture and Business Process Model
□ Alignment with the Enterprise Application Standards
□ Alignment with Architecture Components (Reference Architecture,
Patterns, and Guidelines)
□ Key architecture risks and options for mitigation have been identified
□ Opportunities for value addition to the existing solution architecture
have been identified
Promotion
□ Yes/No promote to Leadership Committee
□ Yes /No promote to the Enterprise Architecture Review

Conclusion
The key takeaway for today is that the EA
and PPM view portfolios and projects from
different but complimentary perspectives.
Both are critical to executing IT’s ability to
translate strategy into realized value.
The opportunity lies in working differently –
yet together..
