Shared Industry Challenges
The challenge is to demonstrate the Perceived Value and Cost of IT.
The resolution is to optimize the value of IT by translating business value into execution.
4
Shared Industry Challenges
Industry analysts predict the biggest challenges the EA and PPM share;
• Refine your value propositions
• Better translate business and technology strategies into execution
• Increase your understanding of business value
• Link the desired outcomes to the delivered outcomes
5
Shared Industry Challenges
IT will retain and centralize EA teams that are perceived as being immediately valuable and will jettison the rest of EA functions into IT. The focus will be on the Business and Information layers in the Architecture domain stack because this is where EA has the most impact on the bottom line.
How to translate business and IT
strategies into execution?
6
Shared Industry Challenges
For the PMO, the focus is on maturing strategic capabilities and implementing a more robust investment portfolio. Increase knowledge of Business and Information Architecture.
Deliver pragmatic and immediate benefits.
How to deliver projects that are pragmatic
and directly linked to realized value?

Shuffling stewarded data back and forth between systems.

Industry Response- System Integration
Extend and integrate systems for a 360°view of Project and Architecture metadata
Extend EAMS to fully enable the execution of project data and apply
to applications
Extend PPM dimensions to include business capabilities and risk
• Common language/taxonomy - establish consistency.• Leverage system of record data and metrics to improve
portfolio decisions, analysis & execution.• Support integrated bi-directional use cases e.g., compliance,
impact analysis, financial, and demand management

Integrating PPM and EAM systems and best practices will yield improved data and business outcomes
16
Best Practice
Improve project selection decisions• Prioritize by determining which future
business capability is supported and align with strategy and architectures.
Improve strategic leverage of technology• Leverage technologies by linking to business
outcomes.
Increase business value delivery• Reuse of reference models, patterns and
technical standards (assets).
Build a Case for Integration – Focused on Business Value Outcomes
17
Best Practice
• Proposed Project/Business Cases• Project Dependencies Report• Project Fulfillment of EA Requirements• PPM/EA Governance Process• Project Design Reviews• PPM Training for EA staff
Ensure PPM Provides Key Deliverables to EA
18
Best Practice
Actionable and Diagnostic Deliverables; • Enterprise context• Collaborative new project or project
change proposals: • Project architectural assessments• EA road maps • Project Waivers • EA training for PPM staff
Ensure EA Provides Key Deliverables to PPM
19
Devise an Integration PlanIn the short term – • Build relationships across the disciplines. • Secure C-level sponsor support for the integration.• Identify and focus on common ground.• Build the case using the benefits we’ve discussed like
Project Architecture and Architecture Consults• Cross-train teams to build understanding and enable more-
informed working relationships.
In the long term - Define data points in the EA and PPM systems and processes where reviews, interfaces and artifact handoffs should occur to enable integration.

Conclusion
EA and PPM Integration - Translation to Execution
The latest global Gartner EA research study indicated a significant difference in EA and PPM integration by country, with the U.S. lagging the rest of the world.
Those that have already integrated or partially integrated include:
U.S.: 44.4% Brazil: 61.7% U.K.: 64.4%
