This document, authored by Nancie L. Imler, provides a detailed exploration of Enterprise Architecture (EA) and its critical importance to federal agencies. It addresses the "who, why, what, how, when, and where" of EA, outlining key business dimensions and strategic goals. The text draws parallels between EA and the design of the interstate highway system, emphasizing performance and strategic architecture, business and data frameworks, and service design. Recommendations for future improvements and efficient practices in architecture management are also highlighted.

What is EA? • Template to describe key business dimensions: • Who? • Why? • What? • How? • When? • Where? • Describes today and makes recommendations for the future • Required of all Federal Agencies
Chapters within the EA • Introduction • Strategic Architecture • Performance Architecture • Business Architecture • Services Architecture • Data Architecture • Technology Architecture
EA Analogy • The Interstate System of Highways • Began in late 1930s • First envisioned as a 3 toll roads East/West and 3 toll roads North/South • Determined toll roads would not be self-supporting
Strategic Goals • Full control of access • Design for speeds of 50 to 70 miles per hour (depending on type of terrain) • Minimum of two travel lanes in each direction • 12-foot lane widths • 10-foot right paved shoulder • 4-foot left paved shoulder. • Initially, had to be adequate to meet the traffic volumes expected in 1975. • Later, the requirement was changed to a more general 20-year design period to allow for evolution of the System. • Interstate Route Numbering – N/S lowest number in West; E/W lowest number in the South • Interstate Exit Numbering • Auxiliary 3-digit interstates
Performance Goals • Desire for 40,000 miles of interstate highway • Longest Interstate Routes, Shortest Interstate Routes, Transcontinental Routes (N/S; E/W), States with most interstate mileage, Most costly routes, Routes traversing the most states, State Capitols accessible by interstate, Populations not served • Traffic volume • Impact on safety • Impact on the Economy (money and time) • Impact on the quality of life (time savings, mobility) • Impact on National Defense
Activities • Funding construction of eligible highways • Establishment of rest areas • Added lanes • Added or modified interchanges • Interstate maintenance program • Signage • Adopt a highway program • Interstate highway patrol • Tollways • Maps
FEA Lines of Business • 103 – Defense and National Security • 104 – Homeland Security • 105 – Intelligence Operations • 106 – Disaster Management • 107 – Transportation
118 Transportation’s Sub-Functions • 060: Air Transportation • 061: Ground Transportation • 062: Water Transportation • 063: Space Operations
061 Ground Transportation’s Activities • Transit and safe passage of passengers over land • Transit and safe passage of goods over land
Taking it back to the Bay!! • Strategic and Performance Architectures are written but in flux. • The Business Architecture has been matched to the Federal Lines of Business
