PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Operate enterprise architecture software tools |
1.1 Enterprise architecture software tools are selected and used in accordance with organisational requirements. 1.2 The enterprise information technology support system is used to operate the selected enterprise architecture tools as required. |
2. Use enterprise architecture operational tools |
2.1 Descriptions are prepared for high level operational concepts and operational node connectivity. 2.2 Operational information exchange matrices are prepared. 2.3 A command relationship chart is prepared and agreed upon. 2.4 Business activities, relationships between activities, inputs and outputs are modelled. 2.5 Business activity sequences and timings are prepared in accordance with the organisation’s business rules, business activity reforms and critical sequences. 2.6 A logical data model of business activity is prepared for submission to stakeholders. |
3. Use enterprise architecture systems tools |
3.1 Systems descriptions are prepared and agreed with stakeholders. 3.2 Systems matrices are developed to meet project requirements and agreed with stakeholders where required. 3.3 System technology forecasts are prepared and agreed to. 3.4 System rules for the business architecture are modelled. 3.5 The physical implementation of the logical data model of the business activity is modelled to capture systems requirements. |
4. Use enterprise architecture technical tools |
4.1 A technical system profile is created, and support levels required for the development of the intended system are gauged in consultation with stakeholders. 4.2 An information technology strategy is developed for intended system development. 4.3 Enterprise information technology performance requirements from enterprise business requirements are derived so that appropriate standards, configurations and products relevant to the intended system are developed. 4.4 a technology standards report is created in which standards are described and forecast in accordance with business guidelines. |
