Workshop Description:
SOA introduces many independent and self-contained moving parts — components which are reused widely across the enterprise and are a vital part of mission-critical business processes. The goal of SOA Governance is to manage the quality, consistency, predictability, change and interdependencies of services. SOA Governance strives to blend the flexibility of service orientation with the control of traditional IT architectures.
This workshop builds a comprehensive understanding of how to best address the challenges associated with the expansion of SOA with a focus on helping a firm to optimize their SOA investment and accomplish SOA business goals such as increasing business agility.
- Define the function of SOA governance in your organization
- Differentiate the various roles involved with supporting and making decisions
- Develop design and runtime SOA governance policies and their implementations
- Develop an approach to service life-cycle management
- Construct a decision making process
Any implementation of governance should be centered on the four pillars of an enterprise architecture: people, processes, technology, and services. One mechanism to implement an enterprise IT and SOA governance is by establishing a center of excellence (CoE) for IT and SOA governance that would enable a shared resource and capability center to function as a resource pool as new business application needs arise. This workshop develops the essential elements that are needed to successfully justify, launch and to then evolve the SOA CoE in your organization. Emphasis on establishing credibility and delivering tangible value shape the basis for the session.
- Build a Mission and a Charter for the SOA CoE
- Determine how best to fund the SOA CoE and how to measure its successes
- Identify the specific services that will deliver the greatest value to your organization
- Establish where the SOA CoE fits within your organization and who should manage it
