Overview

Research shows that top-performing organizations share a number of common success factors in strategically managing their IT assets, including:

• Assigning accountability for organizational change to key solution delivery projects,
• Clarifying how architecturally-significant projects link to business strategy, and
• Learning from each project to further develop internal capabilities to effectively manage architecture assets.

A critical element of making any enterprise architecture (EA) practice viable and sustainable is to clearly define how the EA lifecycle integrates with other processes such as strategic planning, portfolio management, and solution delivery.

This session will discuss how to make EA actionable by integrating the industry leading EA framework – The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF™) and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) – with the IBM Rational Unified Process® (RUP®). The speaker will discuss how to leverage open-source and commercial tools for representing this integration and subsequent organizational tailoring.

Please attend a complimentary APG webinar to learn about two key roles who are the liaisons between enterprise architecture and solution delivery.The Solution Architect helps solution delivery projects understand their enterprise architecture context and requirements, and the disposition of relevant architecture assets – reuse, buy, or build. The Architecture Review Lead helps projects rationalize critical design decisions and demonstrate their compliance with organization standards.
