Enterprise Architecture in Higher Education

Gene Leganza, Forrester VP Research wrote a post today titled “Babies, Bath Water, and Enterprise Architecture Maturity Models”. He gave an overview of why he discounted capability maturity models in the past as a technique for maturing EA.  In the post, Gene wrote positively about the roadmap approach we use to plan, mature and assess our EA practice – our EA roadmap.  I will keenly follow any comments and feedback from Gene’s blog post.  

Here are the links to my earlier posts on our EA CMM approach that Gene referenced:

• Feb 2008 – How I a CMM to plan, mature and assess our EA practice
• Feb 2009 – EA CMM Revisited and Renewed

Gene, thank you for commenting on our roadmap approach. I will be looking into the “Goal-Question-Metric” technique you mentioned to further refine our approach (and I will blog on it when I am ready!).

If any of you want the templates, just email me at ldesousa12 AT gmail.com and I will be happy to send them to you.
