The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) is an advanced, generic, and commercially oriented architecture framework developed by the Object Management Group (OMG). It is based on the Unified Profile for Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and Ministry of Defense Architecture Framework (MoNAF).
UAF aims to provide ways of representing an enterprise architecture that enables stakeholders to focus on specific areas of interest within the enterprise, while also maintaining an overview of the enterprise as a whole.
UAF categorizes its extensive set of considerations into 9 distinct domains to cover all aspects of enterprise architecture:
1. Strategy Domain
2. Capability Domain
3. Operational Domain
4. Services Domain
5. Standards Domain
6. Personnel Domain
7. Security Domain
8. Projects Domain
9. System Domain
UAF is a valuable tool for managing the complexity of systems of systems engineering within organizations, providing a structured approach for understanding the complex relationships between organizations, systems, and systems-of-systems. The UAF Domain Metamodel is a rigorous and expansive framework designed for modeling enterprise architectures across various domains—benefiting both military and commercial applications.
This PowerPoint presentation breaks down these systems for the common understanding and analysis in order to facilitate collaboration across different disciplines and departments—ensuring alignment between business strategies and technology implementations.
This PowerPoint presentation also includes slide templates for you to include in your own business presentations.

This PPT slide outlines the "Projects Domain" within the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), emphasizing its role in managing projects that align with strategic objectives. The purpose is clear: it ensures that projects are not only aligned with the organization's architectural goals, but also with broader business objectives.
The components of this domain are systematically detailed. Project Portfolios are highlighted as collections of projects and programs that facilitate strategic management. Resource Allocation is crucial, focusing on the optimal distribution of resources across projects to meet strategic goals efficiently.
Schedule Management is another key area, which involves developing and maintaining project timelines to ensure timely delivery of outcomes. Budgeting and Cost Management are also critical, overseeing financial aspects such as budgeting and cost estimation, which are essential for financial reporting.
The slide also discusses the Project Planning and Execution Process, which provides a framework for the entire project lifecycle, incorporating methodologies like Agile or Waterfall. This is complemented by Stakeholder Communication, which ensures that effective communication strategies are in place to engage all relevant parties throughout the project.
Performance and Quality Measurement is emphasized, detailing the implementation of metrics and KPIs to assess project success and quality. Change Management is addressed as well, focusing on managing adjustments to project scope and resources without negatively impacting outcomes. Finally, Risk and Issue Management is highlighted, stressing the importance of proactively identifying and addressing potential risks to ensure project success.
Overall, this slide serves as a comprehensive overview of the Projects Domain, underscoring its importance in linking strategic planning with execution.
