Road map: A tool depicting the steps to close the gap
between the current and future state.
We are more than halfway into EA872 summer course. So
far we’ve navigated the Common Requirements Vision document which assists in
understanding the business context, strategies, environmental factors, and the
implications to the enterprise architecture initiative. We have mapped out the
future state architecture, current state architecture and performed gap
analysis to understand the initiatives needed for the enterprise to reach the
future state.
The focus for our class readings this week is on
migration plans to map out the steps needed to evolve the enterprise from the
current state to the future state. An EA Road map is an excellent tool
for communicating the steps needed to close the gap between the current and future
state. Weiss and Robertson (2006) provide several road map examples in the
Gartner article Enterprise Architecture Road Maps: Closing the Gap to the
Future State. A very informative article I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
