ZACHMAN FRAMEWORK 102 - IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

Purpose

This course is directed at those in the management group who need to have a good understanding of The Zachman Framework™ in order to direct an implementation of enterprise architecture. Those with an information resource management and data administration background will find this course essential to fitting their skills into the enterprise jigsaw puzzle. Object-oriented people will find the modelling construct changes refreshing while at the same time be challenged by the binding issues. Project managers on the other hand will find the some unique ideas of architecture and delivery. Business managers will find their role as fundamental to the architecture process. All in all we have attempted to meet the management needs of those serious about the Zachman™ architecture.

Course Description

This course explores how to strategically implement Enterprise Architecture. It will look at how to bring together two apparently opposing conditions –the short term need to deliver a solution on time and within budget, and the long term adaptability requirements of the enterprise. The course examines the underlying constructs of The Zachman Framework™ and the implications of "Thinking Zachman™" to give a more balanced view of the entire enterprise.

Given that architecting an Enterprise is fundamental to the ongoing success of an organisation, this course has attempted to bring real world examples of what to do and not to do. The blending of consulting situations with the theory of the Zachman™ approach yields a most interesting set of practical guideposts to those working on engineering the enterprise.

Course Content

ZACHMAN FRAMEWORK 103 - ENTERPRISE MODELLING

Purpose

This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between the conceptual and the practical. The concepts presented in the Zachman Framework courses provide the bedrock for understanding Enterprise Architecture and The Zachman Framework™, however the catalyst for bringing these concepts together is application. The modelling workshop is designed for just that - applied knowledge. For instance, it's great to know that a Primitive model of the Enterprise exists, but what does one look like and how do you build one? How do you use a Primitive Model, derive Composite models and then ultimately manage your Enterprise with them? These are the issues that have plagued management for years, and these are the issues we will address in this workshop.

Course Objectives

• Build primitive models for every Cell of The Framework.
• Build the Enterprise’s Architecture piece by piece.
• Integrate the Enterprise implementation by (horizontal) associations.
• Ensure alignment and transformation Quality through the (vertical) associations.
• Define implementation phase boundaries (Enterprise Architecture planning).
• Use Enterprise Architecture in the day-to-day management and operation of the Enterprise.

Course Content

• Associations
• Methodology Observations
• Compliance Tests
• Zachman Framework2™
• Case for Creating Primitive Models for Composite Solutions
• Cases to Classify (Parse) the Composite Models
• Case for Implementation Governance
