9:00 Am – 4:30 pmWs03 Workshop: enabling mission effectiveness—What every eA practitioner should know About implementing the common Approach to federal enterprise ArchitectureToday’s Federal Agencies are fast moving and in a constant cycle of change and adaptation. To meet these challenges, EA Practitioners are required to move beyond just concepts and theories to providing actionable EA products & services.

This workshop is developed by EA Practitioners for EA Practitioners and showcases the use of the Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture. The Common Approach promotes increased levels of mission effectiveness by standardizing the development and use of architectures within and between Federal Agencies. Through real-world scenario driven exercises, workshop participants will have an interactive experience developing and analyzing EA datasets and outputs. As a learning enabler, workshop participants will visualize the Common Approach through In2itive’s Cloud-EA for FEAF Web Applications.

Learning Objectives:Participants will leave the workshop with a clear understanding of how to successfully impact a Federal EA Program with a specific focus on:•Use of the Collaborative Planning Methodology (CPM) to:

− Facilitate identification and validation of architecture project requirements and scope − Identify architecture alternatives and shared services opportunities − Develop a project plan for the implementation of an architecture − Govern the decisions and changes of an architecture − Measure the performance and execution of an architecture

•Use of the FEAF Sub-Architecture Domains to promote consistent views within and between architectures

•Use of the FEAF Sub-Architecture Domain Artifacts to promote interoperability within and between government organizations

•Use of the Consolidated Reference Models as a common language and framework to describe and analyze investments

•Use of the DoDAF v2.02 Change 1 within the Common Approach

Lt Col Marty Gaupp, Deputy Head for Economics in the Department of Economics and Geosciences, US Air Force Academy (invited)

The discipline of Enterprise Architecture continues to mature with the focus moving from compliance to enabling enterprise outcomes. While the value of EA as a planning tool continues to be realized there is more powerful insight to be leveraged. Data locked inside of EA models often goes unused. Analysis of data within EA models provides further insight helping to improve evaluation of alternatives and decision analysis.

John A. Zachman provides the foundation of thought in this closing session addressing the importance of EA and data analytics as a part of improving mission outcomes.

Explore major data analysis techniques used by data scientist to analyze business data as presented by Lt. Col. Marty Gaupp, USAF, Deputy Head for Economics, US Air Force Academy. Examine how to exploit data analysis techniques to unlock insight contained in your enterprise architecture. Gain insight on how to take advantage of all that business analytics offers for leveraging enterprise architecture.

Learning Objectives:•Review the concepts and techniques data scientists use to

analyze enterprise data•Examine how to exploit data analysis techniques in your

enterprise architecture

Track 1: Achieve mission outcomesThis track focuses on applying the EA thinking and approach to achieve an organization’s core mission, whether it's administrating veteran’s healthcare services, securing the country’s border, advancing science and technology, providing social services, promoting US trade, protecting the natural environment, exploring space and cosmos, strengthening global financial systems, or any other mission. This track will share the insights, methods, experiences, solutions, and lessons learned from the front line practitioners who applied the EA management concept and approach to achieve real mission outcomes.

Track 2: strengthen enterprise managementThis track looks at enterprise architecture management from an organization’s internal management perspective—how to use the enterprise architecture thinking and approach to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of an organization’s internal management. The internal management areas of any organization include strategic management, performance and quality management, business operations, resource management, IT management, information and knowledge management, risk management, and more. The EA concept and approach can help organizations strategize, align, and transform any and all of those management areas. This track will allow practitioners to share their insights, methods, experiences, solutions, and lessons learned from applying the EA approach to achieve results in these common management areas.

W01 2015 Target State Architecture: Building a foundation for Interoperability in federal Health IT

Wednesday, october 7, 2015, 10:45 – 11:30am

Gail Kalbfleisch, Health and Human Services Vanitha Khetan, MITRE Corporation

The Federal Health Architecture (FHA) is currently working with its federal partners to understand the “big picture” of the federal health enterprise to advance towards effective, secure healthcare. FHA is tackling this challenge by capturing the current state of the federal health environment in terms of health IT initiatives, business functions and standards. Concurrently, the FHA Target State Architecture is being developed to start to describe the health IT framework captured in various ONC, DoD, VA, Industry and other agency vision, strategy, blueprint and roadmap documents. The FHA Target State Architecture will be an analytical engine designed to support data-driven decision-making to address gaps from the current environment to move to an interoperable learning health system.

Learning Objectives:•Understand the current federal health IT landscape•Know where the gaps exist in what federal requirement are

current met and what needs support•Discuss what 2025 Target State Architecture and how it will

support the nationwide health system

W03 enterprise Architecture: Unraveling Tomorrow's ChallengeWednesday, october 7, 2015, 11:45am – 12:30pm

Michael Fairless, Securities and Exchange Commission

Two major issues are driving organizations today; First, the rapid proliferation and consumerization of advanced technology in a highly connected world; and

second, Strategic execution is often challenged by inconsistent and inefficient practices and approaches, and the Enterprise Architecture discipline is not always aligned to meet the needs of the organization or its critical customers and stakeholders. We have challenges to face and choices to make.

The IT landscape and our customer’s goals are changing. Traditional approaches to delivering technology systems and related services cannot meet the needs of our customers. We need to look for better, smarter, and faster ways to deliver safe, secure, and useful tools. We know that quality, efficiency, reliability, and service will win the day with our stakeholders. We also know we can no longer afford to deliver a one size fits all solution 18 months after it was needed.

EA provides tools and structure needed to improve communication, but as a community of practice we must adopt methodologies that improve the relevance and speed of delivery. Agile and Lean approaches provide the foundation for speed, agility, relevance, and discipline. Agile/Lean EA principles and goals are relevant and align directly with the core EA schools of thought. Applying those practices to EA will improve the speed of delivery, value, and relevance of the services delivered and simultaneously changes some of the underlying views about the inefficiencies.

Learning Objectives:•Learn how Enterprise Architecture Goals directly align with key

Agile/Lean Principles, how those goals and best practices can be used to effectively develop and manage the IT landscape of any organization. Additionally, understand the practical application of Agile/Lean EA to eliminate waste and create an iterative architecture approach that fosters participation of all stakeholders.

•Learn how to describe the challenges of Strategic Execution specifically related to communications in stovepipe organizations, enterprise transformation using agile principles, and the delivery of critical and relevant technologies.

•Learn how to describe the benefits and challenges of the four principle dimensions of EA:

− Perspective − Governance − Strategy − Transformation

t04 Agile Cloud revolution with Actionable enterprise ArchitectureTuesday, october 6, 2015, 11:15am – 12:00pm

Ajay Budhraja, Federal Government

Agile Cloud projects are a revolution since they can result in significant benefits and cost savings. This session goes over Cloud projects that used Agile methodologies such as Scrum, RUP, actionable Agile,

and business driven Enterprise Architecture (EA) for the Government that transitioned entire processes to realize the benefits of rapid provisioning, dynamic scaling and deployment processes were customer management, reporting, authentication, back end processes, etc. Due to the utility aspects of the Cloud, these processes were adjusted based on on-going monitoring and supported rapid deployments to test new ideas and promote innovation. The key was to identify and prioritize the specific processes as migration candidates, prioritize release items, develop key performance metrics with continuous monitoring, automated testing, and workload analysis.

This session goes over Agile approaches, methodologies, tools, and best practices using the Cloud for Government programs. Starting with requirements and working through development, releases were developed and demonstrated to the customer incrementally, iteratively to overcome challenges related to waterfall. Agile

methodologies were utilized during the development of hybrid Cloud solutions, aggregation of Cloud services and for the overall integration with services, data sources and applications. Actionable EA and related artifacts for Cloud projects played a key role and agile updates were effectively controlled.

Learning Objectives:•Approaches, methodologies, tools, and best practices for

Actionable Enterprise Architecture for Agile Cloud projects for Government and other programs.

•Challenges, solutions, tools, and repositories leveraged for Agile Cloud projects in Enterprise Architecture. Utilization of Enterprise Architecture for Agile Business transformation and decision-making.

t08 Disruptive Trends in federal IT and the Changing role of enterprise Architecture

Tuesday, october 6, 2015, 2:30 – 3:15pm

Chris Chilbert, Department of Homeland Security (invited)

The IT ecosystem is in massive flux of late. New technologies and IT management practices are becoming rapidly adopted, and just as rapidly

discarded. Past truths about security, asset ownership, application and service deployment, server and communication platforms, and even “popular” computing device types are being relentlessly overthrown.

Federal CIOs face huge issues in accommodating these changes. At the same time, federal EA teams are uniquely positioned to help CIOs deliver real value from disruptive innovation. To do so, however, EA must acquire new skills, methods, and an ability to continuously reassess and re-envision how IT supports the federal enterprise.

Learning Objectives:•The evolving role of the Chief Architect•New skills need to understand and engage the changing IT

environment•The ongoing value of EA beyond traditional federal IT models

t10 Leveraging eA to Help CIo's with fITArA Compliance

Tuesday, october 6, 2015, 3:30 – 4:15pm

Jim Walterman, Department of Justice Russell Boyd, Department of Justice

The Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) positions CIOs to be held accountable for how well their organization utilizes IT to achieve success in programs and operations. This is a


prime opportunity for EA to drive value and deliver mission outcomes.

DOJ EAPMO supports the CIO with IT Investment Reviews to fulfill CIO responsibilities for managing the IT portfolio, to identify improvements to the IT Portfolios, to develop recommendations, and to comply with OMB and legislative requirements. By standardizing and developing a repeatable process, EA is supporting decisions that help the CIO achieve mission effectiveness, eliminating waste and duplication, increasing shared services, and closing performance gaps.

Learning Objectives:•Describe the steps to implement EA Investment Reviews using an

outcome driven approach•Share standardized, repeatable processes to help others develop

a road map to successful implementation and demonstrable results

•Provide an understanding of how EA can support CIO efforts to comply with FITARA

Architecture helps provide secure, scalable, and holistic models for business capabilities, and then streamline this logic to technology capabilities enabling optimization, standardization, federation, and agility. New business capabilities must be aligned and rationalized with existing capabilities, and with a technical architecture defined to implement them. In many cases, the back-end systems and services can be re-used or refactored to accelerate the move to digital services. The architecture must look at future capabilities to make sure that what is being built will be viable for the long-term, and will allow for new capabilities to be added without significant re-work.

In this panel topic, we will examine industry insights and look at 1-2 case studies describing how federal agencies are leveraging architecture to make their digital strategy a reality.

W04 ePA e-enterprise Case Study—an outcome Driven enterprise Approach to Transform Information SharingWednesday, october 7, 2015, 11:45am – 12:30pm

Speaker To be Announced

SRA (prime) and Binary Group (sub) developed cross-cutting business architecture focused on regulatory burden reduction, knowledge management and open data sharing strategy, and a target technical architecture and preliminary incremental roadmap to achieve the EPA’s mission to modernize IT infrastructure and information sharing. Binary’s transformational Outcome Driven Enterprise Approach™ (ODEA™), an agile planning and delivery methodology used to define mission outcomes and deliver results quickly, is a cornerstone of the contract. ODEA™ was applied to plan how to streamline and modernize EPA’s programs; and speed the integration of new technologies into those processes to achieve the mission goals of improved environmental outcomes and the ability to provide 21st century services to stakeholders.

Learning Objectives:•Learn how to incorporate outcome driven and agile principals into

Enterprise Architecture to achieve mission outcomes •Learn to conduct ‘just enough’ as is architecture to make

effective decisions, versus producing artifacts that become ‘as was’ architecture that becomes shelfware

•Learn how organizations can better leverage Enterprise Architecture to effectively support the mission by defining relevant and realistic outcomes, gaining stakeholder buy-in, and producing incremental results quickly and cost-effectively that move the organization toward mission success

•Learn best practices to define relevant and realistic outcomes, and gain stakeholder buy-in through effective facilitation
