Presentation
A Framework for Organisation Development and Change using the UP and the UML
Enterprise Architecture (EA) describes the Elements we need to consider in order to build an Automated Information System that supports the Enterprise and how those Elements fit together at various levels. The (extended) Zachman Framework is an example of an EA, TOGAF 8 is another. However the various EA Frameworks are necessarily static models, they don’t in themselves reveal a methodology for developing and changing the EA, which is constantly needed as a response to business pressures. ADM from TOGAF is an example of such a change and development framework, but, in our presentation, we would like to outline an alternative framework based upon extensions to the idea of the Unified Process (UP). UP uses the Unified Modelling Language (UML) as its modelling notation and therefore we also point to appropriate extensions to UML.
