Guiding Agile Solution Delivery with the ArchiMate Language
Solution Architects can develop clear and actionable guidance for Agile development teams using the ArchiMate language. They can rapidly leverage Enterprise Architectures, and specify just the right amount of detail to constrain the solution while leveraging developers' expertise, initiative and creativity. As solutions are developed, architectural models can be enriched with additional implementation details, enabling Solution Architects to contribute high-quality baseline architectures and reusable building blocks to their enterprise repositories. This presentation prepares Enterprise and Solution Architects to lead Agile implementation of their architectures and roadmaps.
TOGAF 9 Architecture Partitioning
The document discusses different ways to partition and organize enterprise architectures. It states that architectures need to be partitioned because addressing all problems within a single architecture is too complex, different architectures can conflict over time, and different groups need to work on different elements simultaneously. However, there is no definitive partitioning model as each enterprise will adopt a model that reflects its own operations. The document then discusses several dimensions for partitioning architectures, such as by subject matter, time period, maturity/volatility, viewpoint, level of detail, level of abstraction, and accuracy.
Solution Architecture
The document defines the roles of solution architect, enterprise architect, and technical architect. It states that a solution architect is responsible for converting business requirements into an architectural design and blueprint for a solution. The solution architect needs input from stakeholders and provides outputs like application, database, infrastructure, and implementation designs. It also outlines the differences between the roles, noting that an enterprise architect focuses on enterprise-wide strategy, a solution architect focuses on delivering a specific solution, and a technical architect specializes in particular technologies within a solution. Finally, it shows how a solution architect contributes throughout the total life cycle of a solution.
The ArchiMate Language for Enterprise and Solution Architecture
The ArchiMate standard provides:
* A language with concepts to describe architectures
* A framework to organize these concepts
* A graphical notation for these concepts
* Guidance on visualizations for different stakeholders
* An open standard maintained by The Open Group
This presentation illustrates the value of ArchiMate modeling with a Big Data case study.

Digital strategy is a statement about the organisation’s digital positioning, competitors and customer and collaborator needs and behaviour to achieve a direction for innovation, communication, transaction and promotion. Digital strategy needs to be defined in the same framework structure as the proposed digital architecture platform.
Achieving the target digital organisation means deploying solutions that enable the digital architecture. Solution architecture needs to design solutions that fit into the target digital architecture framework. This requires:
• Solution architecture team operating in an integrated manner designing solutions to a set of common standards and that run on the platform
• Solution architecture team leadership ensuring solutions conform to the common standards
• Solution architecture technical leadership to develop and maintain common solution design standards
• Solution architecture updates the digital reference architecture based on solution design experience
Digital solution design requires greater discipline to create an integrated set solutions that operate within the rigour of the digital architecture framework. The solution architecture function must interact with other IT architecture disciplines to ensure the set of solutions that implement the digital framework operate together. This requires greater solution architecture team leadership. This needs to be supplemented and supported by a well-defined set of digital solution design standards.
This follows-on from the previous presentation: Digital Transformation And Enterprise Architecture
https://www.slideshare.net/alanmcsweeney/digital-transformation-and-enterprise-architecture.
Bringing Architecture Thinking to the People - An introduction into the PEOPL...
The successful implementation of an architecture plan or blueprint is often challenged not in the efficacy of the design elements of the architecture, but in its implementation by people in business operations. Transformation programs will often struggle as a consequence of the failure to consider the issues impacting and the role of people in supporting the target operating state of the architecture once implemented, it is therefore imperative that when architects innovate, model and design to solve business problems, that they equally consider the people dimension. Capability based planning is incomplete unless we address the optimum mix of people, process and tools to drive out the target outcome of that capability. This presentation will look at a case study from within the Australian market in which Business Capability Based Planning was applied to assess people capabilities and organisation preparedness to support a target business model. It will also discuss some of the more effective people levers that can be applied to deliver more impactful and long lasting architectural change.
Digital Transformation And Enterprise Architecture
Digital transformation - extending and exposing business processes outside the organisation - by implementing a digital strategy – a statement about the organisation’s digital positioning, operating model, competitors and customer and collaborator needs and behaviour through the delivery of digital solutions defined in a digital architecture – a future state application, data and technology view to achieve digital operating status - is potentially (very) complex.
Digital architecture does not exist in isolation entirely separate from an organisation’s overall enterprise architecture. Digital architecture must exist within the within the wider enterprise architecture context.
Enterprise architecture provides the tools and the approaches to manage the complexity of digital transformation.
The management function that drives digital transformation needs to involve the enterprise architecture function in the design and implementation of digital strategy and organisation, process and policies and the creation of a digital architecture. Management must appreciate the technology focus and the benefits of an enterprise architecture approach.
The early involvement of enterprise architecture increases successes and reduces failures. Management must trust and involve enterprise architecture. The enterprise architecture function must accept and rise to the challenge and deliver. The enterprise architecture function must allow its value to be measured.

Furthermore, the consistency and structure of the language have been improved, definitions have been aligned with other standards, and its usability has been enhanced in various other ways.
Modeling and Evolving a Web Portal with the TOGAF Framework and the ArchiMate...
Today's enterprise web portals are complex beasts. Leading portals deliver fresh and relevant personalized experiences to multiple audiences, each with their own branding, content, and interactions. They aggregate content from multiple sources and present it using components, some of which are are reused across audiences. They make users productive by interacting with core transactional systems, and secure themselves with role-based access control. Web portals require careful management to ensure they deliver robust, personal, agile, and sustainable experiences in the face of continuous change.
The ArchiMate language is ideal for elucidating the structure and function of web portal applications and infrastructure, and linking them to the consumer experiences and internal operations they support. Modelers can also link critical business stakeholders, drivers, and goals to requirements for new investments, link these requirements to changes in applications and infrastructure that satisfy them, and show how these changes can be implemented over time.
Join practicing Enterprise Architect and ArchiMate Forum Vice Chair Iver Band and portal expert Ryan Kennedy to learn how to use the TOGAF Framework and the ArchiMate language to depict complex architectures and the changes they require.
Using the TOGAF® 9.1 Framework with the ArchiMate® 2.1 Modeling Language
This White Paper describes the TOGAF®
9.1 framework and the ArchiMate®
2.1 modeling language, showing at a high level how these two open standards from The Open Group can
be used together.
The main observations are:
The TOGAF framework and the ArchiMate language overlap in their use of viewpoints, and the concept of an underlying common repository of architectural artifacts and models; i.e., they have a firm common foundation.
The two standards complement each other with respect to the definition of an architecture development process and the definition of an Enterprise Architecture modeling language.
The ArchiMate 2.1 standard supports modeling of the architectures throughout the phases of the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM).
The combined use of the TOGAF framework with the ArchiMate modeling language can support better communication with stakeholders inside and outside organizations supporting The Open Group vision of Boundaryless Information Flow™.

investments, assume that on-time and on-budget
programs1 are also on-value, and are forced to shut
down programs after they disrupt or disappoint their
intended beneficiaries.
From Capability-Based Planning to Competitive Advantage: Assembling Your Bus...
Many organizations are investing in capability-based planning, portfolio management, architecture and agile development processes. While they derive value from each practice, many struggle with getting all of them to work together. In rapidly evolving industries such as healthcare, businesses need to change continuously. Instead of programs and projects, they need transformation value networks that adapt to dynamic organizational and external drivers.
This presentation will use a unified framework and method to define and relate the ingredients for continuous transformation. The presenters will also demonstrate the value of standards-based visual modeling for integrating, expressing and improving business transformation practices. Visual models will show how American and European healthcare payers are improving quality and efficiency in response to demographic, economic and regulatory pressures.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand how to integrate capability-based planning, portfolio management, architecture and agile development processes
• Identify and position key frameworks for capability-based planning, portfolio management, architecture and agile development processes
• Understand core concepts and key applications of the ArchiMate language for visual modeling, an Open Group standard
• Understand the basics of visually modeling business strategy and organizational transformation
• Become familiar with the objectives and methods for an example of business transformation
• Understand how and when to integrate strategic guidance into agile development processes

architectures. Solution Architectures may occur at the segment and capability level. Enterprise Architectures are used for high-level direction setting and strategic planning, while Solution Architectures guide lower-level individual project efforts.
The ArchiMate ® visual modeling language standard is a natural choice for Enterprise Architectures while, for Solution Architectures, the Unified Modeling Language ® (UML ® ) provides a wide range of views, concepts, and relationships. When architects make these
common and workable choices, understanding how to use the ArchiMate language and UML together is necessary for efficient and precise alignment between the Enterprise and Solution Architectures.
This White Paper focuses on the use of the ArchiMate language for Enterprise Architectures and UML for IT Solution Architectures, even though both languages have other uses. However, this White Paper is also relevant to other uses of these languages. It explores several
ways of using the two languages together.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of Time
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications

Observability For You and Me with OpenTelemetry
Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data.
The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution!
Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.
