If a PM makes design decisions and a Solution Architect makes manage decisions, this creates "Noise"..." Solution Architecture Overview  Definition - TOGAF 9.1 3.65 Solution Architecture  "A description of a discrete and focused business operation or activity and how IS/IT supports that operation. A Solution Architecture typically applies to a single project or project release, assisting in the translation of requirements into a solution vision, high-level business and/or IT system specifications, and a portfolio of implementation tasks." usually a technology specialist in a particular technology. responsible for determining the applicability of the technology, for defining the best possible architecture using that particular technology, and also for guiding the team in implementing the solution. expected to know the various vendor tools in the technology area and the latest trends in the market There could be more flavors of this role—infrastructure architect, integration architect, BPM architect, .NET architect, J2EE architect, and so forth.

Solution Architecture EPCOT

Transcript: Solution Architecture EPCOT As the arbiter and team providing oversight to the organizational entities, the role of the EGPT is to: Provide an agency perspective on the identified practices. Charge EPCOTs with subject matter expertise to develop and mature their practices for the benefit and representation of the agency as a whole. Provide guidance and arbitration in defining practices roles and responsibilities. Provide guidance and arbitration in reconciling competing roles and responsibilities for the identified practices. Ensure the work of the practices is broadly distributed and accessible. Create the process for how the EPCOTs bring issues for arbitration to the EGPT. Present enterprise-level issues that may impact, but nonetheless be beyond the scope of this charter, to the sponsors or other executives as needed. Define a common template for Community of Practice Approve practice standards Initiate and sustain change management strategy No, a trip to the sunshine state is not on the itinerary. But to explain EPCOT I need to tell a little story. EGPT identified the following agency practices related to software development: nterprise EGPT Develop, mature, maintain, and evangelize the practice for the benefit and representation of the agency as a whole. Create and continuously improve a knowledge base to include Solution Architecture standards, best practices, tools, methods, and templates Identify a communications strategy to disseminate information contained in the knowledge base to practitioners within the agency. Advocate for the practice and provide guidance on its application relative to software application lifecycle management. Support the growth and development of a related Community of Practice (CoP), suggest learning events and opportunities, monitor activities, and provide guidance as requested. Work with other EPCOTs to identify and reconcile differences, as they emerge, between the practices of software application lifecycle management. Resolve problems and create solutions for practice challenges. Maintain and provide documentation of EPCOT meetings and activities. Report issues, resolutions, and successes on a quarterly basis or as directed by EGPT. Escalate concerns that cannot be resolved within or among EPCOTs to the EGPT eam hartered This task force consisted of 4 IT staff, 4 web services staff and 5 business area staff. • Business Analysis • Project Management • User Centered Design • Solution Architecture • Product Management • System Development • Application Testing Management met for months and month trying to resolve the issue ractices Role of the EGPT EGPT is chartered to provide governance and oversight for the development and maturation of the practices associated with the software product lifecycle management.

EPCOT Responsibilities Once upon a time there was unclear boundaries of duties on development project. ractice EGPT is authorized by and accountable to the agency Deputy Director and is responsible for oversight of the EPCOTs. EGPT will be the arbitrator for review and decision making for the EPCOTs. Solution Architecture EPCOT Team Structure Each of these practices have been assigned a Lead Practitioner and directed to form an EPCOT Team This caused angst between staff and threatened derailment of projects The Distant Past They failed!
