Embedding EAM into operation and monitoring - Monitoring the EA
3 important questions on Embedding EAM into operation and monitoring - Monitoring the EA
What is the problem with monitoring the EA?
EA KPI monitoring is still in its infancy. Two major challenges: (1) struggle to define appropriate EA metrics, and (2) the information base is not sufficient for ongoing monitoring of EA-related KPI's.
Why should we monitor EA?
If monitoring is not undertaken, little can be said about the EA’s development or current state, and whether these (still) fit the architecture vision and principles. Furthermore, monitoring also provides an important feedback loop to identify systematic EA-related issues and to initiate architecture initiatives.
Which aspects should be monitored in the EAM cockpit?
The EAM cockpit should monitor three complementary aspects: EA impact in business terms (efficiency and effectiveness at achieving business and IT goals, e.g. balanced scorecard), EA status (conformance with target architecture and architecture principles) and EAM adoption (EAM activities in the organisation).
