EA Measurement
There are so many different ways in which you can measure the success of Enterprise Architecture. Below are 7 Key Metrics that Simplicable.com lists for Enterprise Architecture.
- IT Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as a Percentage of Revenue
- Total Cost Savings (TCS)
- Percentage Of Spend That's Strategic (PSTS)
- Common Services Compliance Rate (CSCR)
- Architectural Due Diligence Rate (ADDR)
- Sunset Technology (ST)
- Business Specific
All the metrics listed above is good information, but I think there is only one metric that matters more than all the rest.
Did EA help the Business reach it's business goals and metrics? You can meet or exceed every independent EA metric available, but if you didn't help the business meet their goals, the value of EA will be perceived as low. If you have to rely on all the other metrics available to prove the value of EA, you might be doing it wrong.
