Welcome to the I.T. Architects in Academia (ITANA) wiki.

Face2Face All-Day session at EDUCAUSE 2011

We will have a full day Face2Face meeting at EDUCAUSE 2011.  This will be the same day as the pre-conference seminars.   More information about meeting will be posted here as registration opens.  In the meantime, we are building the agenda.  See the Face2Face page for more information.

Lifecycle Management and Analysis

We are talking about capturing, managing and using lifecycles: Student Lifecycle, Researcher Lifecycle, Instructor and Advisors on our campus. We have started a new repository to capture links and works regarding lifecycle management. See the all new Lifecycle Management and Analysis page.

Architecture reviews

This repository documents conversations and artifacts relating to the Architecture Review process.  Architecture reviews cover everything from business process reviews to technology reviews.  We are at different stages of establishing such processes.  See the Architecture Review Process pages.
