Making Architecture Business Value Driven - Dave Guevara
The Denver IASA June 2008 meeting looked at the Business of Architecture. This discussion will look at one part of the broad topic, the business and strategic alignment processes that align IT to be business value driven.
The alignment that we will focus on is between the strategic intent of a company, and the capabilities that are needed to implement the business processes and technologies that will execute that strategic intent. A case study example will be used to illustrate some of the “how to” methods for doing this in your organization. This session will be interactive.
In addition to discussion these new concepts relating strategic intent to capabilities (Business, Organizational, Technical, Integration) we will also take a brief look at getting from capabilities down to User Story inventories and ultimately into services development. Recent feedback from the Agile conference was that these concepts and their use were spot on to where the thought leadership is moving to in the Agile field.
Primavera Unifier: How to Tame Complexity and Achieve Successp6academy
Primavera Unifier is an open and highly configurable business process and workflow management tool that is designed to support capital planning, project delivery and cost control requirements. Achieving a successful Unifier implementation requires strong stakeholder support, a detailed analysis of the supported business processes and a project team that can “think outside the box." In this presentation, we will define and review those key areas that can reduce implementation time and costs. We will also show how to identify and avoid specific issues that could jeopardize the success of a Unifier system deployment.
