3: Initiation
Initiate Enterprise Architecture Program Other Information:
The enterprise architecture is a corporate asset that should be managed as a formal program. Successful execution of the EA
process is an Agency-wide endeavor requiring management, allocation of resources, continuity, and coordination. Agency business
line executives should work closely with the Agency architecture team to produce a description of the Agency's operations,
a vision of the future, and an investment and technology strategy for accomplishing defined goals. Experience shows that obtaining
the needed cooperation among Agency executives is not an easy task. Creating an EA program calls for sustained leadership
and strong commitment. This degree of sponsorship and commitment needs the buy-in of the Agency Head, leadership by the CIO,
and early designation of a Chief Architect.
