Architecture Development Standards and Guidance2008 Edition

The 2008 Architecture Development Standards and Guidance employs a modified approach to documenting solution and segment architecture

Recap of updates for 2008 (as presented at March EAWG)• Level of effort and prerequisites are provided for each step.• The Detailed Solution Architecture requirements include two new

templates and an update to the Performance Management Framework.• The Segment Architecture requirements include new templates and

require review & approval of the framework used during 2007 segment reviews.

Additional Information• To minimize the burden placed on personnel, the EA team will be

providing packets with pre-populated templates.• At today’s EAWG meeting, we will review the detailed templates for

collecting this information

Architecture Development Standards and Guidance2008 Distinctions – Solution Architecture

The Performance Management Framework requirement has been updated

• The Performance Management Framework 2.0 has been improved in several ways• The framework is due on May 16, 2008

2008 Information

Requirements

Description of Proposed Template

Performance Management Framework, v2.0

The following adjustment have been made to the 2007 spreadsheet:

• Now links measurement indicators to Strategic Goal(s) supported

• Now links measurement indicators to parent indicators (e.g. Tech. to Process)

6


The Performance Management Framework template snapshot

• This template will be pre-populated with existing information from the Exhibit 300s and last year’s framework

See Handouts

7


Two of the Solution Architecture models have been combined

• The Data Model and System Interface Diagram have been combined into one artifact – the Solution Information Flow & Interface Profile

• The artifact is due on May 16, 2008

2008 Information Requirements

Description of Template

Solution Information Flow & Interface Profile

Complete a table, illustrating the following:• Who provides information to this system?• What information is provided to this system?• How is the information provided to this system?• Where is data stored for this system?• Who uses information from this system?

There is a new Solution Architecture technology focus

• The Solution Architecture Technology Requirements Indicators Crosswalk is a new artifact that the EA team will provide for verification by the Solution Architect

• The crosswalk is due May 16, 2008

2008 Information

Requirements


Solution Technology Requirements Indicators Crosswalk

Capture alignment of your milestones to indicators of technology requirements:• Indicators (pre-populated)• Related Milestone(s) from the 2008 Transition Strategy and Sequencing Plan• Additional details when no milestone relationship exists but there are plans for technology changeCapture changes to your milestones, where applicable:• New milestones• Revised milestones

Architecture Development Standards and Guidance2008 Distinctions – Segment Architecture

There are new segment architecture artifacts that will require verification

• The segment artifacts will be provided to the relevant segment architects for verification, so the burden on the individual, and/or team, will be minimized. Verification and approval will be necessary for the following (by September 30, 2008):



Segment Performance Alignment Framework

Capture relationships between measures and systems in the segment:• Related Goal, Objective, and Sub-Objective• Related Measures (e.g. from the OCFO Performance &

Accountability Report)• Investments System(s) that support the performance sub-objective

chosen for #3 and can be measured using the measure in #4.

Segment EM LoB Partnership Profile

Identify federal partners, indicating the name of the federal agency and whether or not:

• The partner is a supplier or consumer of information• A formal agreement is currently in place (if yes, explain)• There is a system that EPA interacts with at the federal agency (if

yes, explain)

12


Segment Performance Alignment Framework Template

• The framework is due September 30, 2008

See Handouts

13


Segment EM LoB Partnership Profile Template

• The profile is due September 30, 2008

14


There are new segment architecture artifacts that will require verification, cont’d



Document Relationship between Systems in the Segment

Identify relationships between systems in segment’s IT portfolio• Users• Application Interfaces• Data Repositories• Data Application Services• Application Interfaces

Verify & Approve the Business Transformation Framework

Verify/Approve an executive overview, called the “Business Transformation Framework”• Strategic Goals and Drivers impacting the segment• Services provided by the segment• Program budget information within the segment• Key IT investments within the segment• Core data partners• Transformation objectives that are being considered in planning and influencing decision-making across the segment.

• The framework and relationship diagram should be reviewed, approved, and submitted by September 30, 2008

Segment System Interface Diagram Template snapshot

The following diagram will help show each segment’s IT portfolio, and its dependency upon other segments, as well as the Agency’s set of Enterprise Tools. Defining target information in this way allows the segment architect an opportunity to illustrate areas of reuse, consolidation and retirement in their target architecture.
