Embedding EAM into the project life cycle - The relevance of embedding EAM in the project life cycle

7 important questions on Embedding EAM into the project life cycle - The relevance of embedding EAM in the project life cycle

Why is it important to embed EAM in the project life cycle?

  1. For bridging the gap between the right strategies and better results
  2. For making EAM fit into the overall planning and control cycle


How can you ensure that your organisation realises the strategy, because blueprints alone will not make this happen.


  • What gets measured gets done.
  • Use of EAM practices that support the target architecture’s realisation by controlling and monitoring project progress, and by escalating project problems.

Why would you want to bridge the gap between right strategies and better results?


1. As with many other management practice, EAM requires controlling and monitoring procedures;
2. Realising a target EA is a challenging endeavour:
  • translating abstract long-term objectives into specific short-term objectives;
  • numerous stakeholders;
  • diverging objectives (personal agendas, etc)
  • complex resource management;

3. On top of existing project management tools, the projects have to be made 'architecture-aware'.

Some projects are more relevant for realising the target EA, we distinguish:

  1. strategic architecture projects (e.g. BPR, application landscape, harmonising IT infrastructure) --> effect several EA layers;
  2. strategic business initiatives, driven by operational demands (new business application or process)

How does EAM alters strategy realisation
processes?

Bij altering and extending the project life cycle with EAM practices an make projects 'archtecture aware'.

What are the EAM Proces cycles?

There are 3 major planning and controlling cycles influenced by EAM:
  1. strategic planning
  2. project life cycle
  3. operations and monitoring

What are the process steps in the project life cycle?


4 process steps:
  1. Project set-up (after defining project portfolio)
  2. Design solution
  3. Implement solution
  4. Piloting and roll-out

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
