Assessing EA's Role in IT Investment Maturity PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Capability Maturity Model (CMM) - Enterprise Architecture PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for assessing the influence of Enterprise Architecture (EA) on IT Investment and Acquisition Strategy, structured into 5 maturity levels. Each level outlines the degree of integration and governance of EA within the IT acquisition process, providing a clear progression from minimal to optimal engagement.

At the "No Architecture" level, there is a complete absence of EA consideration in strategic IT acquisition. This indicates a lack of alignment between IT investments and overarching business strategy, which can lead to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

The "Initial" stage shows some involvement of strategic planning,, but it remains informal. There’s little adherence to established standards, suggesting that the Operating Unit operates in a reactive manner rather than proactively aligning IT investments with business objectives.

As we move to the "Repeatable" level, there’s a slight improvement. While governance remains informal, there is some adherence to existing standards. This indicates a growing awareness of the need for structure in IT acquisition, but still lacks comprehensive integration.

The "Defined" stage marks a significant advancement where an IT acquisition strategy is established. Compliance measures are in place, and the Operating Unit begins to align more closely with EA standards. This level reflects a more systematic approach to IT investments, with the inclusion of EA considerations in Requests for Quotation (RFQ) and Requests for Information (RFI).

Finally, the "Managed" level signifies a fully integrated approach where all IT acquisitions are governed by EA. This ensures that all evaluations and planning activities are aligned with EA principles, leading to more strategic and efficient IT investments. The slide effectively illustrates the importance of EA in shaping IT acquisition strategies, highlighting the need for organizations to progress through these maturity levels for optimal results.
