5.1: Completion

Completion of an agency’s EA artifacts in terms of performance, business, data, services, and technology. The agency’s baseline and target architectures are well-defined, showing traceability through all architectural layers. Using its transition strategy and sequencing plan, the agency is able to achieve its desired target state.

Other Information:

Outcomes: o Identifies specific outputs (artifacts for each architectural layer) the agency needs to maintain and monitor its EA. o Describes the future capabilities (via sequencing plan and target architecture) to enable the agency to achieve its performance goals. o Identifies the magnitude of the gap between the baseline and target architectures and possible improvement strategies to realize its target state. o Integrates relevant cross-agency initiatives into the agency’s target architecture and transition strategy. o Produces segment architectures describing agency lines of business to be used to assist agency managers in decision-making tasks. o Identifies unnecessary duplication and opportunities for consolidation and reuse of information and technology within and across agencies. o Provides a framework and a functional view of an agency’s lines of business (LoBs), including its internal operations/processes.
