5. FEA Context – Reference Models
This diagram shows the FEA Context Reference models. It runs as follows:
Performance Reference Model to Business Reference Model to Service Component Reference Model to Data Reference Model to Technical Reference Models. These are business driven approaches to component based architecture.

6. FEA Context – Architecture Levels
This slide shows the FEA Context Architecture levels. It breaks it diwn for EA, SA and Solutions Architecture. It outlines Scope, Detail, Impact and Audiences.

7. Transition Strategy / Federal Transition Framework
The primary challenge of EA value measurement is to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship between actions within the EA program and improvements to agency performance. In some cases, there may be many contributing factors resulting in a specific performance improvement, of which the EA program is only one. Moreover, cause and effect may not always be proximate in time. The EA program may identify opportunities to make IT investments influencing agency performance in subsequent fiscal years

The Framework consists of three sections:
Completion - Evaluates the existence and maturity of the as-is architecture, to-be architecture and transition planning
Use - Evaluates the maturity of the processes that support or are supported by EA
Results - Evaluates the results being achieved from the EA
