Presentation
Traceability: The Key
to Enterprise Architecture
The measure of the “goodness” of any particular enterprise architecture
is how well it allows the organization to respond and adapt to change (such
as change in markets, strategy, workflow, system requirements, technology platforms,
trading partners, regulatory oversight). Therefore, one of the key capabilities
that an enterprise architecture provides is the ability to understand and anticipate
the impact of certain types of changes. The mechanism for implementing this
capability is traceability. While traceability is important for requirements
activities, there are many things before and after requirements that also require
understanding traceability. The speaker will review the principles of an enterprise
traceability strategy, how to describe it in the context of standards like
TOGAF and MDA, how to implement it with tools, and lessons learned from real-world
application.
