Description
The Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) is an initiative of the US Office of Management and Budget that aims to comply with the Clinger-Cohen Act and provide a common methodology for information technology (IT) acquisition in the United States federal government. It is designed to ease sharing of information and resources across federal agencies, reduce costs, and improve citizen services.
The FEA is entirely business-driven. Its foundation is the Business Reference Model, which describes the government’s Lines of Business and its services. This business-based foundation provides a common framework for improvement in a variety of key areas such as:
Budget Allocation
Information Sharing
Performance Measurement
Budget / Performance Integration
Cross-Agency Collaboration
E-Government
Component-Based Architectures
FEAF training covers four main aspects of the FEA including:
A high-level overview of EA concepts and principles.
Segmenting Architecture covering architecture concepts, the content included in segment architecture, and how to use segment architecture.
Developing Segment Architecture and how to develop segment architecture, when one should be developed, and who should participate in its development.
Enterprise Architecture Transition Strategy and what is included in an EA transition strategy and provides guidance on developing and using an EA transition strategy.
Measuring EA Program Value - Describes a continuous, customerfocused
process relying on feedback from EA stakeholders and other value
measures to increase the quality and effectiveness of EA products and services
to support business decisions.
