Managing Enterprise Architecture Federal Enterprise Architecture
Introduction Previously, we introduced the Zachman Framework and TOGAF concepts to aid in understanding how to perceive enterprise architecture and develop specific architectures and solutions within this context. One of the biggest challenges for most organizations, especially if they are functionally-driven, is to ensure every division, line of business, and/or department is participating accordingly. One of the most diverse organizations is the United States Federal Government. For this reason, we will be using their Federal Enterprise Architecture to demonstrate how best to promote collaboration and cooperation across the organization within the context of managing the overall enterprise architecture.
Federal Enterprise Architecture The challenge in enterprise architecture for the federal government is in managing diversity: different agencies, missions, objectives, locations, and structures. Each ‘line of business’ can be autonomous from the other ‘lines of business’. However, government agencies are highly accountable to their customers (taxpayers) and must actively seek out the means of reducing costs, improve service, and manage information. The Federal Enterprise Architecture is a comprehensive approach to identifying and sharing architectures and solutions across the enterprise.
Performance Improvement Lifecycle FEA focuses on created results-oriented architectures, integrating processes to transform strategic goals into strategic results. The Performance Improvement Lifecycle is the foundation for achieving results-oriented architectures. Architect Invest Implement

Making FEA Work The key to FEA is its reference models—the ability to identify and leverage architecture building blocks across the enterprise. Clearly define how business performance is impacted by architecture development. Use the Performance Improvement Lifecycle and the Architecture Development Process to identify the various aspects of the segment architectures, i. e. objectives, work products, roles, etc.
The Toolkit To support the efforts of adopting enterprise architecture at this point, the Toolkit provides the following aids and templates: • Creating a Reference Model
Moving Forward Use the aids and templates to create an effective conversation for enterprise architecture in your organization. The process, Creating a Reference Model, provides the means for identifying, describing, and managing the diverse set of building blocks available to the organization’s enterprise architecture.
