Agile methodologies have gained significant popularity in recent years due to their ability to deliver products quickly and adapt to changing requirements. However, not all projects are feasible, and it's crucial to make informed decisions about whether to proceed with a project or not. The Go/No-Go Checklist combined with a weighted scoring approach can provide a framework for evaluating the feasibility of an Agile project. In this article, we'll discuss the importance of a Go/No-Go Checklist and how a weighted scoring approach can help in making informed decisions. Why A Go/No-Go Checklist for…

In the world of Agile project management, a feasibility study is a critical step towards project success. The Agile approach emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and the feasibility study plays a key role in ensuring that the project is viable and achievable within these parameters. A feasibility study involves evaluating the technical, economic, and operational aspects of the project to determine if it is worthwhile and feasible. This includes assessing the technical requirements, available resources, potential risks and constraints, and estimating the cost and schedule for the project. By conducting a feasibility…

What is a Radar Chart? A radar chart is a graphical representation of data that is used to display performance or comparison of multiple variables on a two-dimensional plane. Also known as a spider chart, web chart, or star chart, a radar chart consists of a series of spokes that radiate outward from a central point. Each spoke represents one of the variables being measured, and the length of the spoke indicates the value of the variable. The data for each variable is plotted on the chart as a series of points, which…

Performance analysis is a critical process for businesses to identify areas where they can improve and stay competitive in their respective markets. One useful tool for conducting a performance analysis is a radar chart, which can help teams visualize their strengths and weaknesses across multiple dimensions. In this article, we will explore how businesses can use radar charts to identify gaps in performance and take action to address them. What is a Radar Chart Radar charts, also known as spider charts or web charts, are useful in the performance analysis domain as they…

Using Radar Charts for Capability-Based Planning Radar charts, also known as spider charts or star charts, can be useful for capability-based planning in The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF). Capability-based planning involves identifying an organization's capabilities and determining how those capabilities can be improved to achieve the organization's goals. Radar charts can help with this process by visually representing an organization's capabilities and their current level of performance. The chart consists of a series of axes that represent different capability areas, such as technology, people, processes, and information. Each axis is divided into…

Capability-based planning is a business-focused approach to strategic planning that aims to deliver the required capabilities to an organization. It brings together all lines of business to achieve a shared goal, and is particularly useful in organizations where resources are involved in multiple capabilities, such as emergency preparedness units. From an IT perspective, capability-based planning is highly relevant, especially when it comes to setting up a data center. This is because IT architects and planners are often involved in managing not just the IT implementation, but also other tasks such as personnel training…

Risk Management in EA Risks are inevitable in any architecture or business transformation effort, and it is crucial to identify, classify, and mitigate them before embarking on the transformation journey. Effective risk management requires a continuous effort to monitor and track the risks throughout the transformation process, even if the risk triggers are outside the scope of the planners. It's worth emphasizing that the Enterprise Architect is responsible for identifying and mitigating risks, but it is within the governance framework that risks are accepted and managed. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a…

Why Validating GAP Analysis For EA Gap analysis is a commonly utilized technique across various industries and areas, particularly in enterprise architecture. This article assumes prior knowledge of gap analysis and does not aim to provide a comprehensive introduction to the concept, as ample resources are available in literature. Instead, the focus is on a crucial aspect of validating an architecture - identifying any omissions. An architecture must effectively address all of the organization's essential information processing needs. To achieve this, it is imperative to consider potential gaps that may have been overlooked.…

Business Transformation Readiness Assessment The successful implementation of architecture transformation requires a comprehensive understanding of an organization's readiness to change. This readiness assessment process involves identifying and evaluating the factors that affect an organization's ability to adapt to new technology, processes, and workflows. The following are the recommended activities in assessing an organization's readiness to address business transformation: Determine the readiness factors that will impact the organization: This involves identifying the various factors that influence an organization's readiness to change, such as its culture, leadership style, structure, processes, and technology infrastructure. These factors…
