Embedding EAM into strategic planning - Leveraging EAM for strategic planning - Assessing and prioritising the project portfolio through EAM

3 important questions on Embedding EAM into strategic planning - Leveraging EAM for strategic planning - Assessing and prioritising the project portfolio through EAM

Describe the project demand proces in an EAM supported process

Strategic project demands evolve from strategic business and IT initiatives, as well as from strategic architecture  initiatives.
Emergent and operational project demands develop bottom-up from operational needs in the business and IT areas.
The project demands must be aligned in the project portfolio.

How does EAM supports the assessment and prioritisation of projects in the project portfolio?

  • Assessing the projects’ strategic contribution and conformance with the target architecture. EAM helps to ensure that projects align with the architecture vision and that resources are assigned in a way that moves the organisation towards the desired target state.
  • Identifying and resolving interdependencies and implementation conflicts in project portfolios. For example, architects can identify critical enterprise architecture components that have been changed by several projects and rethink the portfolio
  • Identifying potentials for shared developments. EAM reveals redundant activities.

Describe Management recommendations for Assessing and prioritising the project portfolio through EAM

Manager should:
  • Motivate enterprise architects to participate in the project portfolio management processes in order to apply EA methods and analysis techniques effectively, and to ensure conformance with the defined roadmaps.
  • Oversee all strategic and operational project demands that have a critical size or significant impact on the EA.
