Creating Enterprise Architecture Roadmaps

While there are dozens of activities within an enterprise architecture effort, there is only one primary outcome - an enterprise architecture roadmap. Roadmaps describe what efforts (i.e., projects) need to be done to meet a specific objective, the dependencies between those efforts, and the prioritization of those efforts. In this session I'll cover the four main models that make up an EA roadmap and show you techniques for how to identify projects, classify projects, prioritize projects, and finally illustrate these efforts through consolidated roadmap views. By the end of this session you'll have a clear view of why enterprise architecture is needed, the purpose behind it, and how to create an effective and clear enterprise architecture roadmap.
