Citizen-Centered, Results Driven Government 11 Steps for Measuring EA Program Value Step 1: Define Value Measurement Areas –Identify Stakeholder Communities –Identify EA Program Value Goals (Outcomes) –Common Value Indicators Step 2: Identify Measurement Data Sources Step 3: Execute Value Measurement –Establish Baseline –Establish Target Measures –Measure Actual Value Results

Citizen-Centered, Results Driven Government 12 Common Value Indicators Measurement Area StakeholdersTypeCommon Indicators Agency Enterprise Architecture  Senior Leadership  CIO Objective  Total EA Assessment Score (including completion)  % of baseline and target architectures modeled within EA repository Subjective  % of surveyed respondents indicating EA work products are useful to support decisions for strategic, IT and performance planning IT Investment Portfolio  IT Portfolio Managers  Budget Planners Objective  % of IT investments compliant with agency transition strategy Subjective  % of surveyed respondents indicating EA work products are useful to support decisions for IT portfolio selection, control and evaluation Operating Environment  CIO  Architects  IT Managers Objective  Total cost savings/avoidance as a percentage of the total IT budget.  Number of cross-agency service level agreements  Number of common/shared business processes, data entities, and service components.  % of IT systems complaint with agency technical standards profile Subjective  % of surveyed respondents indicating EA work products are useful to support decisions for managing agency IT environment Segment Architecture  Line of Business Owners  Senior Leadership  CIO Objective  Number of enterprise segments with an assigned IPT  Number of approved segments reconciled with agency EA  Utilization of cross-agency architecture and E-Gov initiatives Subjective  % of surveyed respondents indicating EA work products are useful to support decisions for lines of business and cross-agency collaboration IT Investment Business Case  Budget  Capital Planning  CIO Objective  Allocation of investments by segment type (core, business or enterprise)  Consolidation resulting in fewer Exhibit 300 submissions Subjective  % of surveyed respondents indicating the architecture supports investment decisions Example

Citizen-Centered, Results Driven Government 13 Using EA Program Value Measures Continuous improvement Answering EA value questions –Are stakeholders satisfied with the content and level of detail of the EA? –Does collaboration between EA staff and business owners increase satisfaction? –Does the EA have a measurable impact on the IT investment portfolio? –Does the EA lead to measurable improvements of agency performance? –Is there a clear relationship between EA and business services? –Does the agency EA result in measurable cost savings/avoidance?
