2016-2017 Year End Wrap


FALL agenda review

louis: as we move towards the business and become more collaborative as architects, we (ironically) run into barriers or resistance within our IT organizations.

betsy: agree 150%. fall educause.

jim: peer review effort -- is it broad enough? is there an EA component?

jim: business architecture is valued by partners more than IT at the moment.

betsy: don't always have a smooth approach to feed biz arch requirements into IT systems design. encouraging six sigma approach because it is known on biz side. this is a bridging strategy.

jim: we've been trying to use capability maps to bridge, but is challenging when people weren't in room at time of development.

WINTER agenda review

louis: interested in tracking engagements. for an ea practice.

rupert, jim, ray: 2 week sprint cycles have been effective in capacity management.

jose: women in IT increased understanding.

SPRING agenda review



What do people think about recording sessions?

JJ: start small
Betsy: not sure of the value.
Louis: Should be easy to do. Not much risk. Not concerned about conversations being used in a negative way.
Jose: Nice to be able to share presentations.
