FULL ASSIGNMENT ATTACHED:

As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:

• initiation/planning/concept phase
• requirements analysis phase
• design phase
• development phase
• integration and testing phase
• implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase

 

 

Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and
understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or
the EA program supports the other IT management processes of an organization. This
assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes: describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks,
and an overall ongoing EA program analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence,
support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision
making and to respond and adapt to the business environment apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for
enterprise solutions Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of
information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT
management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each
of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will
write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains
briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of
the phases of the SDLC: initiation/planning/concept phase requirements analysis phase design phase development phase integration and testing phase implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique
qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available
to the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is
required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible
points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than
Wikipedia and author-less website postings). If you need assistance with determining what a
scholarly journal is, the UMUC library is a very good source of information, accessed via the 7/8/2014 1 following link: http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/articles.cfm. Remember to correctly cite
and reference all sources using APA format.
Submit your paper in Word format via your Assignments Folder as an attached document
with your last name included in the filename.
