Speaker's Bio |
Leading architecture programs implement continuous improvement methods for enterprise architecture (EA), resulting in predictable progress in program effectiveness over time. This workshop is designed to assess the maturity of your company’s architecture programme. An understanding of current progamme maturity is the first step toward accelerating architecture programme improvement.
The best practices and activities of architecturally mature, and effective organisations have been codified into this assessment, and META Group’s knowledge base provides workshop participants with the information to contrast their maturity against Global 2000 organisations.
Benefits of Attending
- Compare your architecture practices with the best practices of Global 2000 companies
- Baseline EA program effectivenes
- Identifying the key constraints that inhibit architecture success
- Focusing architecture program development efforts on the highest value activities
- Determining the target architecture program maturity for the next iteration of the continuous improvement cycle
- Understand the key indicators of architecture success
