Week 15 - Course Wrap Up

So many Enterprise Architecture artifacts 
and toolkits, so little time.


     There is no shortage of artifacts and toolkits to describe your Enterprise Architecture initiatives.  EA 872 exposed us to a plethora of Gartner Toolkits that allow for analyzation, justification and communication of solutions for enterprise architecture problems.  Artifacts in this course were presented in a order to reflect how a typical EA initiative may evolve.

  • Launching Enterprise Architecture Initiatives
  • Understanding the Business Context
  • Future-State Architecture: Conceptual Level
  • Future-State Architecture: Implementation Level
  • Current State Documentation
  • Gap Analysis, Migration Planning, and Creating the EA Roadmap
  • EA Governance
  • EA Measurement
  • IT Strategy
     
     The challenge I often face with any EA initiative is that there is only so much time to spend on creating artifacts and leveraging toolkits.  Given real-life time constraints, I select a few artifacts (on average five) that are the most beneficial to EA initiative.  This course expanded my knowledge of available artifacts and toolkits.
