Structures - Fundamentals and Composites






























PEAF>Items>Section ◄◄◄           .           ►►► PEAF>Culture>Section

To carry out the work of the EA Capability (Roadmapping) effectively and efficiency, tools are mandatory.

There are two fundamental domains (types) of information that any tool needs to be able to work with (Structural and Transformational) and this information is consumed and produced by various Disciplines.

In general (because of their history and initial focus) tools operating primarily on Structural information have tended to be called EA Modelling tools and tools operating primarily on Transformational information have tended to be called EA Planning Tools. This is not a hard and fast rule though as many tools describe themselves using various adjectives - it’s not what they call themselves, it’s what information they manipulate.

Keypoint

Adopt this component by...

Any EA Tool must integrate with other tools.

EA Project Team: Make sure your EA Tool can deal with Structural (MACE) and Transformational (MAGMA) information and that it integrates with other related tools.

Questions to ponder...

Which tools do you currently use for Enterprise Architecture?

What domains (Structural/Transformational) do they cover?

Are they adequate?

If not, does this present any issues or problems?

What will you do to alleviate or solve them?
