8.3: Deviations

Take Appropriate Actions to Address Deviations

Other Information:

Management should take quick and decisive actions to correct problems in light of established priorities. Examples of actions include infusion of additional resources (people, tools, or money), establishment of contingency plans, and redefinition of EA purpose and scope, introduction of missing or strengthening of existing control mechanisms, and increased oversight. Any changes to the plans, projects, and/or architecture content to address deviations should be captured in an appropriate documentation trail, and should be justified on the basis of costs, benefits, and risks. Changes should be processed through established change control processes and board authority. The change documentation should characterize the problem, solution, and alternatives chosen and rejected in light of established priorities.
