7.1: Evolution
Maintain the Enterprise Architecture as the Enterprise Evolves Other Information:
If the EA is not kept current, it will quickly become "shelfware" -- yet another well-intentioned plan for improving the enterprise.
Perhaps even more damaging, if the EA fails to embody the agency's most current strategy it may limit the organization's ability
to meet its goals and achieve its mission. The EA necessitates a specific organizational and process structure that will ensure
the currency of EA content over time. The EA should reflect the impact of ongoing changes in business function and technology
on the enterprise, and in turn, support capital planning and investment management in keeping up with those changes. Consequently,
each component of the EA -- baseline architecture, target architecture, sequencing plan, and all the products that constitute
them --need to be maintained and kept accurate and current. Tasks: 7.1.1. Reassess the Enterprise Architecture Periodically
7.1.2. Manage Products to Reflect Reality
