The synergies between goal sketching and enterprise architecture

Abstract

This paper introduces a pragmatic and practical method for requirements modeling. The method is built using the concepts of our goal sketching technique together with techniques from an enterprise architecture modeling language. Our claim is that our method will help project managers who want to establish early control of their projects and will also give managers confidence in the scope of their project. In particular we propose the inclusion of assumptions as first class entities in the ArchiMate enterprise architecture modeling language and an extension of the ArchiMate Motivation Model principle to allow radical as well as normative analyses. We demonstrate the usefulness of this method using a simple university library system as an example.

Connecting Enterprise Architecture and Project Portfolio Management

“…Requirements management should be integrated with processes, such as goal setting, business processes, project management, enterprise architecture, or solution design (Hiisilä, Kauppinen, & Kujala, 2016). Boness and Harrison (2015) suggested a method for requirements modeling and goal setting using the EA tool ArchiMate (The Open Group, 2017); it supports project managers in scope definition and stakeholder alignment. Werewka (2017) mapped project management concepts (PMI, 2017) to the EA language of ArchiMate (The Open Group, 2017) and suggested alignment of EA and project management notions for developing the governance.…”

An Experience to Design O-DA Knowledge

“…ARMOR is a visual language to describe motivation model of EA by using goals and requirements. Boness et al [36] integrate Goal Oriented method and EA models by using a meta model.…”
