This speech presents the summary of many seemingly disparate Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) initiatives now on-going and
explains the presenter's views both in his historical context and with respect to future directions and possibilities for the FEA. It will
open the dialogue to questions like:
Will EA be able to significantly change the Federal Government or government in general if it continues to be narrowly focused on IT?
How can such an expansive program with such potential impact continue to be run by an office with only one permanent FTE and a set of
rotational volunteers with a few contractors?
How will the issued resultant from GAO and the OMB both measuring agencies EAs by different means play out especially with GAO now
starting a new government-wide review?
Can the LoB concept for collaborations across the government work to instantiate the FEA and what will be required to make this
happen?
What are the significances of the new DRM, the various profiles (Geospacial and Records Management) and mechanisms like Core.gov
and certifying Federal components like E-authentication?
What must happen for the FEA to continue as opposed to break under its own weight?
All these questions and more will be asked and discussed in an interactive presentation, with an eye towards what can and should
happen for the FEA to proceed and ultimately succeed.

You may have questions like these?
 Will EA be able to significantly change the Federal Government or
government in general if it continues to be narrowly focused on IT?
 How can such an expansive program, with such potential impact,
continue to be run by an office with only one permanent FTE and a
set of rotational volunteers and a few contractors?
 How will the issues resultant from GAO and the OMB both measuring
agencies EAs, by different means, play out especially with GAO now
starting a new government-wide review?
 Can the LoB concept for collaborations across the government work
to instantiate the FEA and what will be required to make this happen?
 What are the significances of the new DRM, the various profiles
(Geospacial and Records Management) and mechanisms like
Core.gov and certifying Federal components like E-authentication?
 What must happen for the FEA to continue, as opposed to break
under its own weight?

Federal Enterprise Architecture - What is it?
Some terms Enterprise architecture – A management process that uses an
analytical approach to develop an enterprise-wide knowledgebase
used in decision making to, among other things, ensure IT alignment
in support of business/mission functions. It typically has an As-Is, ToBe and a Transition Plan.
FEA Reference Models – A set of five modeled views of the federal
enterprise used to determine alignment and compliance. They are the
PRM,BRM,SRM,DRM and TRM. Now also added are the growing
number of profiles including Security and Privacy, Geospacial and
Records Management .
 FEAPMO - The Federal EA Program Management Office (Richard
“Dick” Burk is the Chief Architect) in the OMB under the Deputy
Administrator for E-government (Karen Evans).
 Chief architect – The manager usually in the Agency’s Office of the
CIO, responsible for EA program development and management.
Most every agency has one.

FEA – What is it…more terms.
 Exhibit 300 – Information OMB requires to be filed for each
major IT investment with the budget, every year. Also it is referred
to as the investment business case. Every major agency was
required to submit a consolidated EA Program Exhibit 300
(identifies funding department-wide) last year.
Lines-of-Business – Crosscutting business areas or support
functions where the government is beginning to consolidate
functions, systems or technology or all three. Current LOBs are:
 National Health Architecture
 Financial Systems
 Grants
 Human Resources
 Case Tracking
 Two new LOBs – Security and Information Sharing

Terms…cont.
 E-Gov Initiatives – 25 E-Gov or IT systems initiatives, also
referred to as the presidential or quicksilver initiatives, covering
collaborative services or capabilities and public access. Agencies
are compelled to participate or use these systems. They include:
E-Grants, Recreation One Stop, E-Travel, E-Authentication, E-Pay
and others.
 CPIC – Capital Planning and Investment Control – The process
that compliments EA and is focused on management of the
agency IT Portfolio and ensuring appropriate project management
and performance controls and reviews. Theoretically, projects
perpetually 10% behind schedule or over costs should be
terminated. This past year 342 of 11087 IT investments were
put on OMB’s watch list (total worth $15B).

Federal EA Reference Models
Business-Driven Approach
Component-Based Architecture
Performance Reference Model (PRM)
• Inputs, outputs, and outcomes
• Uniquely tailored performance indicators
Business Reference Model (BRM)
• Lines of Business
• Agencies, customers, partners
Service Component Reference Model (SRM)
• Service domains, service types
• Business and service components
Data Reference Model (DRM)
• Business-focused data standardization
• Cross-agency information exchanges
Technical Reference Model (TRM)
• Service component interfaces, interoperability
• Technologies, recommendations
The FEA was established by OMB, with support from
the Federal CIO Council.

So what about EA in the Federal Government?
 Last year over $500 million dollars programmed in the budget




for EA work (not including CPIC support) just on the Civilian
side.
More than that on the Defense side (Army, Navy, AF & DoD).
Beside EA work, much related work in areas touching EA –
SDLC, Security, Privacy, Accessibility – CPIC Investments
Management.
Congress decreed that DoD’s failure to align major investments
to its EA is anti-deficiency (miss appropriation of funds)
potentially punishable by jail time!!! Comptroller’s seek out the
EAs in DoD.
The FEAPMO Plans will further ramp up the requirements to
show EA Alignment of Investments with EAAF 2.0.

Early Benefits of EA to the Government




Identification of vast array of IT resources and
opportunities for consolidated purchasing and
management of infrastructures
Ability to question whether consolidation or
coordination in Lines-of-Business or e-Gov
services makes sense
In the Case of Homeland Security - EA has
postured them to more quickly move forward
with restructuring and realignment of major
systems and to let key procurements
(UICDS,IWINS)
DoD has made significant strides in
modernization and transformation of warfighting
supported by their DoDAF based EAs

GAO Last Year found
Agency EA Progress Limited
 Very few agencies have reached above
level 3 (of 5)in EA Maturity
 Many regressed based on newer
maturity framework and survey
information validation requirements
 On average the results were not
significantly different-lack of support,
expertise, and funding all still
problematic to progress on EA
 No Cabinet Department made it above
level 3 maturity
 What will they find this time?

High Level Business Proposition




Government Requirement – ALL AGENCIES
MUST HAVE EA’s and their Major Investments
(IT Projects) must be aligned to the EA
Infrastructure and Large Systems Projects not
aligned may be turned down
Increasingly Government Agencies will be
asked to develop common solutions within
Federal Lines of business (Justice, healthcare,
case tracking..etc)
Projected Savings, Lowered Costs, Higher
Performance are critical factors for Agency
EAs…so EA will be tightly coupled to the
PART management Scores by OMB-ongoing.

So what are the FEA-PMO’s Objectives
and what do they believe are the challenges?





Need to focus on Outcomes of Government
Business/Mission
Need to emphasize and measure use of the
EAs in decisionmaking and holding agencies
accountable
Looking for more Lines of Business
Have to find ways to help agencies transform
and perform
Must see (make visible) the benefits of EA…

OMB EAAF Results 24 of 25 Major agencies
scored 3.0 or higher…
 GAO just started a review using its EAMMF which will
show different results than OMB…because the two
frameworks are different and scored differently.
 OMB is changing the EAAF to version 2.0 in the fall
reframing focus on the results that EA is or is not
achieving rather than on the Completion of the EA.
 This will cause confusion…again.
 In the next few months there will be a number of new
issuances- DRM, Records Management Profile,
Geospacial Profile, EA Glossary – lots of changes
