• Technique to validate, elaborate, and/or change the premise behind an architecture

• Used principally in the Preliminary, Architecture Vision and the Business Architecture phases

• Used to help identify and understand business needs, and the resulting business requirements

• REal Bus Problem

• The business and technology environment in which those problems occur

• Value chains enabled by capabilities

• desired outcome(s) of proper execution

• Specific:

• Measurable

• Actionable

• Realistic

• Time-bound

• not limited to IT and focus on business value, value streams, and outcomes

• applied to any industry, not just IT

• relevant to both big and small problem areas

• end goal is achieving desired business outcomes

• should drive architecture work and implementation of solutions

• statements at a specific time and should be updated to reflect significant changes

• Critical source of gaps that should be consider

• In validating an architecture, it is important to consider what may have been forgotten

• Used for evaluating and quantifying an organization’s readiness to undergo change

• major endeavor within an organization

• Done during Phase A of the ADM

• readiness factors that will impact the organization

• readiness factors using maturity models

• readiness factors, including determination of readiness factor ratings

• risks for each readiness factor and identify improvement actions to mitigate the risk

• Phase E and F - Implementation and Migration Plan

• Initial Level of Risk: Categorized prior to determining and implementing mitigating actions

• Residual Level of Risk: Categorized after implementation of mitigating actions (if any)

• Time (schedule)

• Cost (budget)

• Scope

• Risk identification

• Risk classification

• Initial risk assessment

• Risk mitigation and residual risk assessment

• Risk monitoring
