Where does PEAF Fit?
This graphic illustrates where PEAF fits with respect to the Enterprise
Transformation Stack and with respect to the
Pragmatic Enterprise Family of Frameworks.
PEAF recognises that EA is only one part of the
Transformation domain and that there are problems in
that larger Transformation domain that need
addressing. In order to do that we need to define
the wider Transformation domain hence
(The Pragmatic Enterprise Transformation Framework).
Having defined this wider Transformation domain, we
then recognise that PETF needs to be put into
context in terms of how the Transformation domain
relates to the other domains of the Enterprise hence
(The Pragmatic
Enterprise Family of Frameworks).
What is PEAF?
PEAF is a
vendor and consultancy independent, technology neutral,
Enterprise Architecture Framework which allows organisations
to kick start or re-start an EA initiative and provides a
comprehensive set of Products and Processes of everything
required to hit the ground running. It is FREE for
use by End-User Organisations, Government Bodies and
Academic Institutions.
PEAF
bridges the gap between minimal "EA Frameworks" which do not
provide a complete set of what is required or huge
monolithic “EA Frameworks” that are too difficult to
understand and difficult to use.
PEAF
achieves this by “Cutting EA to the Bone”, and
providing everything you need, and nothing you don’t. PEAF
is composed of two fundamental parts; Products and
Processes.
The
Products section provides all the products required to
undertake and sustain an EA initiative split into 4
sections; Foundation, Culture, Model and Governance.
The
Processes section provides all the processes required to
undertake and sustain and EA initiative split into 3 phases;
Prepare, Implement and Operate.
NEWS
Ovum
Study finds that PEAF and TOGAF share the
top-spot for the EA frameworks that respondents
most frequently mention.
Ovum - Hybrid enterprise architecture
frameworks are in the majority
According to the study, three enterprise
architecture frameworks have gained a
reasonable degree of traction in this
field, but it should be noted that none
can yet be considered to have broad
adoption within the overall population,
and to provide a complete answer to all
requirements.
TOGAF, PEAF, and Essential Project are
the most frequently mentioned frameworks
by respondents. Other
frameworks adopted by organizations
include DoDAF and the UK equivalent
MoDAF, as well as Zachman and FEAF.
