1. George Thomas, GSA Enterprise Chief Architect, FCIOC-AIC Service Subcommittee Co-chair, OMG GovDTF Steering Committee OMG GovDTF Model Based Acquisition RFIOMG Gov Info Days, 3/11/08

2. OMG GovDTF MBA RFI Model Based Acquisition (MBA) Is the application of MDA standards and related practices to the sourcing and procurement of IT in the Federal Enterprise Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Context, Challenge, Action, Result (CCAR) Office of Management and Budget Federal Enterprise Architecture Program Management Office (OMB FEA-PMO) Enterprise, Segment, Solution Architecture Baseline, Target, Transition Strategy, Sequence Plan Object Management Group (OMG) Business Modeling and Integration Domain Task Force (BMIDTF) Business Motivation Metamodel (BMI) : SWOT assessment, goals and objectives, strategies and tactics MDA : CIM, PIM, PSM, PSI Community Correlation (OPM/OMB/OMG)‏ Context = baseline = SWOT assessment Challenge = target = goals and objectives Action = transition strategy = strategies and tactics Result = sequence plan = desired (results) outcomes

3. BMI BMM Terms and Concepts Assessments are judgements of influencers affects on the FEA-CoP A strength is an assessment that an influencer is positive, an advantage that can be exploited A weakness is an assessment that an influencer is negative, a disadvantage that may need to be corrected An opportunity is an assessment that an influencer is positive, a chance that can be seized in the evolution of transformational Government A threat is an assessment that an influencer is negative, a danger that may need to be averted A goal is something the FEA-CoP is trying to achieve A course of action is something the FEA-CoP does to achieve a desired result (effect) A strategy is a broad, lasting course of action, a tactic is a narrow, fleeting course of action An influencer is something that can affect the FEA-CoP ability to achieve its goals or implement its strategies An actuator is an influencer that is can be considered as a quantity that may increase or decrease over time A desired result is a generalization of FEA-CoP goals and objectives An objective quantifies a goal by specifying timing and measurement

4. OMG BMI Business Motivation Metamodel Enables Performance Improvement Lifecycle (PIL) traceability Architect/Completion/Publish, Invest/Use/Assess, Implement/Results/Validate : machine navigable : actionable -> executable

5. Context – MBA Baseline SWOT • Strengths • Technology Trends • Mashups, SaaS, Model Driven SOA and BPM • FEA-PMO • FEA, FTF, PIL • OMG • MDA, GovDTF – FTF, RMS • Weaknesses • Identification/Specification/Realization/Implementation • Enterprise/Segment/Solution Architecture • MDA CIM, PIM, PSM, PSI • Traceable Results • PRM line of sight through the PIL • KPI's and metrics • OMB and GAO maturity assessments are ‘what’ with no ‘how’ • Sourcing • Insource – build, buy, adapt • Outsource – SaaS, MEO

6. Context – MBA Baseline SWOT continued Opportunities FEA-PMO Execution Agenda EA in the FAR Segment Architecture Tiger Team guidance FEA for eGov results SSP's in Fed LoB's FEA for Program Performance Improvement IPM = (PART, EA, CPIC, SDLC, EVM) OMG MDA maturity Standards coverage and cohesion SOAPro/UPMS, UPDM, TOGAF/MDA Synnergy, BMI BPMN 2.0, more! Threats EA Continuity Show results! Institutional Memory and Succession Planning The ‘silver tsunami’ and ‘millenial challenge’ FEA-CoP KSA's Workforce assessments and training often out of date wrt MBA

7. Challenge – MBA Target Goals Articulate and establish MBA best practices in the FEA-CoP Community Correlation (notional example) (Enterprise) Business Architecture = CIM (Vocabulary, Process, Policy, Service) Identification (Domain Segment/Mission) Reference Architecture= PIM (Message, Policy, Process, Service) Specification (Enterprise and Domain Segment) Solution Architecture= PSM (Message, Policy, Process, Service) Realization (Enterprise and Domain Segment) Reference Implementation= PSI (Message, Rule, Process, Component) Implementation Prescriptive Sourcing Architecture assets used for each architectural concern Insourcing Buy : apply to COTS gap and fitness analysis Build : apply Model Driven Development/Engineering, collapse the SDLC Adapt : merge ADM bottom up with MDA top down to meet in the middle Outsourcing SaaS and Competitive Sourcing MEO We have ‘frameworks’, organizing but not specifying ‘what’

8. Challenge – MBA Target Goals Continued Explicit Traceability - demonstrate how; Software module M implements (using some TRM technology)‏ Service component C that realizes service specification S (SRM++) To enact Activity A in business process P (BRM++) By exchanging message payload P (DRM) In enumerated value stream V across all Fed LoB collaborations Line of sight auditable results are a side effect MDA/MDD/MDE as enabler Federal Target Architecture (FTA) programmableagency.gov, a directory of Agency API's Test Compatibility Kits and FTA Test Harness Proven COTS/GOTS RI’s, leading indicators, progression testing eGov Factory MDA/MDD/MDE based software factories Contracting styles and vehicles How to best apply PBC, FFP, T&M and IDIQ to GWACs and Schedules Training Position Descriptions as culmination of Business Process Activities Institutional Memory and Succession Planning

9. Action – MBA Transition Strategy I am because we are We are all the FEA-CoP Tell us how to do this! Show us how you're doing some or all of this now, or plan to be doing this in the future Tell us the problems you've experienced and foresee What is a realistic transition strategy to engage these? Come one, come all Large, medium and small contributors to the FEA-CoP Industry tool and product providers and professional service organizations Government Agencies and consortium's (FCIOC, FCAOC, NASCIO, etc.), FFRDC's Other VCO's

10. Results – MBA Sequence Plan Desired Results – THINK BIG! Leverage VCO Authoritative Reference Architectures managed by VCO, cross fertilize FEA-PMO and FCxOC Inform agendas, tiger teams, guidance Agency RA/API -> FTA -> FTSSP -> FTH Invert 80/20 O&M to DM&E Extend FTA to GTA as public/private marketing plan and product roadmap MBA in the FAR and PBC to realize/implement the FTA and FTSSP 21st century procurement practices eGov Factories apply MDD and collapse the SDLC Try before you buy!!! Test driven, pass the FTA RA TCK for certified RI Semantic Interoperability across CoI's BA -> RA -> SA -> RI harmonization supporting competitive differentiation Emergent structure and behavior by embracing social media Objectives Determine KSI's and metrics for goals and desired results by 2010...

11. Summary GovDTF MBA RFI Purpose is to solicit YOUR views, opinions and solutions as expert practicioners supporting the FEA-CoP PLEASE respond to the asserted baseline context and proposed target challenges Get involved in the GovDTF! Member driven Your challenge is our action
