MODULE 8: SOA Project Management

LZA Homework Exercise #6

Creating a SOA Roadmap & Project Plan

Develop a visual SOA Implementation Roadmap based on the ZapThink SOA Implementation Roadmap poster. (We used the TIBCO implementation map)Include discrete timelines for organisational, architectural, infrastructural, and governance. When possible, be as specific as possible in the determination of timeframe, steps, and ordering for individual SOA implementation components.

We used TIBCO SOA tool foundation to pick the required software/components to satisfy our infrastructure requirements. This is performed in step 3 of the TIBCO SOA Execution Model.

Sketch an outline of the primary iterations your organisation should complete to execute on their SOA vision.

We used the TIBCO Accelerated Value Framework & the SOA Execution Model to guide our SOA project.

- TIBCO Accelerated Value Framework (AVF).

The tasks you will need to complete in this project: Metamodel definition Conceptual Framework Business Capability assessment Technology Maturity assessment Model the baseline (current state architecture) Model the target (future state architecture)

The resources (people) that you will need to complete this project: Project Manager and the Project Management team (5) Enterprise Architect and the Architecture Team (5) Development Manager SOA Developers (3) CRM Consultants (5) MDM Consultants (2) Legacy Specialist (2) Senior Business Analyst and a team of Business Analysts (4)

A Gantt Chart reflecting the project plan. Your Gantt Chart should have tasks along the vertical axis and time along the horizontal axis, with horizontal bars indicating the duration of tasks and dependencies among tasks: (Project plan is highly classified)

So putting it all together, the TIBCO SOA Execution Model consists of these 6 steps:

Step 1. Develop Vision, High-level Architecture and Strategy

Step 2. Define and Implement Organizational Foundation

Step 3. Define and Implement Technical Foundation

Step 4. Decompose Processes into Services

Step 5. Build Services and Composite Applications

Step 6. Operate the Business

NOTE: The SOA initiative is governed by the established Enterprise Architecture capability.
