3. Background A professional architecture workforce is key to developing quality and effective architectures that enable defense systems.
To enhance the DoD architecture workforce three primary products are required:
DoD Architect's Competency Framework – identifies key tasks and required competencies
DoD Architect's Career Path – describes transitions between different roles and levels
Architect's Certification program – defines minimum demonstrable knowledge and skills for different roles
The DoD CIO published an initial competency framework in 2008 and a revised framework in 2011.
An updated framework is due to be released in the next year or so.
The updated framework will eventually include a career path for DoD architects.
Industry groups representing IT and enterprise architects share a long-term commitment to certifications based on industry-wide standards. 3
