Enterprise Architecture Management with ARIS

Dear Stein,
My question is , enterprise architecture management include governance, if there is no EA governance in a company, its EA should fail despite how nice the framework is. it is difficult to fulfilled by architecture tools, did ARIS can do this and do this in practice and real customers?

Hi Samsonren,

you are absolutely right here: A tool like ARIS can only support you in doing EA governance, but EA governance is first of all the task of management. So if you don’t put measures for EA governance in place, the best tool and framework will not be able to support you. However, a tool like ARIS can support you in establishing EA governance. For example, it can provide the necessary data to the involved stakeholders like having an overview of the IT landscape. Also, currently IDS is working on a general governance engine, which will help you to describe governance processes for your modelling artefacts. For example, in case a new model of your IT landscape must be approved, the governance engine will route it to the responsible manager and ask for approval.

Hi Sebastian,

I would like to understand the 4 Phases ARIS Value Engineering (AVE) In details.

Do you know of any Source (maybe a book)i can get in order to understand how to apply AVE in various Projects?

Thanks In Advance

Dear Rahab,

The 4-phased AVE procedural model is in fact a meta model.http://www.ids-scheer.com/ave.

This means, you can only apply AVE by its usage in a specific scenario, which we call ARIS Solution Scenarios, such as Business Process Transformation (http://www.ids-scheer.com/en/ARIS/ARIS_Solutions/Enterprise_BPM_Scenario/45470.html) or Process-Driven Business Intelligence (http://www.ids-scheer.com/en/ARIS/ARIS_Solutions/Process_Intelligence__Performance_Management_Scenario/7722.html).

From that perspective some Expert papers might help you to better understand AVE when seeing how our ARIS Solutions build their roadmap and deliverables by applies the AVE concept and principles:

Hope this helps.

Hi

From Bahram Najedy

If it's possible please guide me how can i take some info about ARIS Value Engineering in DETAIL

i tried to download Agility Book about AVE but aufortunatly i couldn't get more detail about it.here at now i'm working BPM for IKCO company

PLEASE GUIDE ME

best regards

Dear Bahram,

I appreciate your hunger for ARIS Value Engineering.

But the book you are referring to wouldn't provide with details about ARIS Value Engineering (AVE). It contains a bunch of articles where AVE could be applied and which customers achieved success using it.

You probably have read on our web site that AVE is a reference model of IDS Scheer, which we apply in our projects. But the downside is, that we don't sell that knowledge, because it is one of our most valuable assets.

So my suggestion for you is to either join IDS Scheer, as BPM consultant you are very welcome. Or let's work jointly in a project, so that you gain that know-how you are seeking for in the daily project work.

Cheers
Rune

Sebastian:

Thank you for the update.

"Dirk also shows new functionalities for analysing key performance indicators (KPI). In addition, requirements can be grouped into projects, which can be related to programs and measures. Even though ARIS is not a project management tool, it allows planning projects by modelling the overall project plan in a time-line."

Does this imply KPIs analysis can be done inside IT Architect now?  Which version is this feature available in? How I can invoke this functionality within IT Architect?

I'm also interested in learning more about the requirement bundling and project timeline modeling capabilities (other than the project schedule model).

Thanks.
