Why choosing TONEX as your FEAF training provider?
FEAF Training covers many aspects of Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF). 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.
- Detailed coverage of FEAF : Architecture Drivers, Strategic Direction, –Current Architecture, Target Architecture, Transitional Processes , Architectural Segments , Architectural Models and Standards
- 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, customer focused 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.
