31 Jul Class: Information Systems Enterprise Architecture Homework
WOU Enterprise Architecture Kick-Off
Current Context
You are the new chief architect for WOU. You will use the EA3 framework and methodology (from the text). Do not be concerned (yet) with governance. While there are a wide range of IT projects that are important to the university, President Fuller has tasked you to focus primarily on the student-centric IT systems and services that WOU provides to its students. Your first assignment is to document our current architecture.
Iteration 1 Assignment – Due 4pm on April 26
- Document the WOU mission statement and key objectives under the core themes for the university. Organize this in a way that will make it easy to reference these objectives – use a spreadsheet with unique IDs for each objective.
- Think in terms of four primary lines of business for WOU: undergraduate education in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), undergraduate education in the College of Education (COE), graduate education in the COE, and research. Think of a good way to visualize these three LOBs, and call out that for this initial EA project you will focus on the CLAS undergraduate education LOB.
- Please draft an initial communication plan. A good first step would be to document how this initial work you are focused on is due on Wednesday, April 26, at 4pm. You should also identify other suggested communication ideas.
- Finally, perform an inventory of the high-level IT systems and services that currently serve our undergraduate students. For example we have Gmail, Moodle, the WOU Portal, and the online library tools. There’s probably quite a bit more! Create a graphical illustration that identifies this inventory of services – try to fit it on one page if possible! You might find that using a modeling tool like Visio or Archi will help. Please use a digital tool for this – no hand-drawn diagrams!
Additional guidance and requirements:
- You may work with others (such as your initial group) to put together the pieces above. For example, 6 of you brainstorming together the inventory of systems will yield better results than you doing this yourself!
- However, the work you submit must be your own independent work! No copy/paste, no sharing diagrams. One example workflow might be to sketch out a high level system model on a whiteboard, take a picture of it, then each individual go off on their own to turn this into a digital model.
- Submit a single PDF for the entire assignment.
