00 PM-4 : 30 PM Project Management for Enterprise Architecture Evaluation
The paper supports the thesis that EA is a complex of information communication technology projects and as such should be evaluated by deployment of cost-benefit investment evaluation methods usually applied for project management.
Abstract
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) describes overarching designs of individual physical and logical components, so that they assembly results in a complete and working product. The designs are developed within any projects. The designs concern computer systems and network implementation, software development and installation, data migration and business processes reengineering. The paper supports the thesis that EA is a complex of information communication technology (ICT) projects and as such should be evaluated by deployment of cost-benefit investment evaluation methods usually applied for project management. The main goal of the paper is to present opportunities of enterprise architecture evaluation by project evaluations. In the paper, different projects, i.e., multiproject, project portfolio, project programme, roll-out projects, large project, are discussed in the aspect of their value creation in the Enterprise Architecture development process.
