4. Enterprise Architecture Shared Interest Group (EA-SIG) REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE No. 2010-01 The ACT/IAC rules regarding what is appropriate for our members governs what SIGs do in support of the Government. The EA-SIG has implemented this Request for Assistance (RfA) to be used by the leadership team to identify and document specific requests for assistance (and what activities, tasks or projects its is committing to support, by when and how). This is not a contract and because all of the work is voluntary, it is specifically not enforceable. It is, however, a record of the commitment made and will be used to track and to some extent measure the SIGs Government engagements, involvements and accomplishments. For further guidance on what the SIG can and should support, see the SIGs SOP. Please complete all information, as follows: Name for Request: Unified Government Enterprise Architecture Framework (UGEAF) Sponsoring and/or Requesting Organization: AIC and DoD Short description of the support activity or Tasking:Based on the attached Snip-It (EASIG 10-1) establish a working group that will investigate, analyze and research the drivers for, considerations of, pieces and parts included in, support and resources required , a structured plan and timeframe for a collaborative effort to consolidate, combine, redefine and reissue a single Unified Government Enterprise Architecture Framework (UGEAF) for the US Federal Government (and potentially other governmental entities, as well). Expected deliverables: Organized workshop(s) between government EA and LoB leaders, industry participants and stakeholders, to collaborate, ideate, create and develop a whitepaper for a draft conceptual approach, program plans and presentation on a set of recommendations as to how UGEAF can be created and evolved into the single Government EA Framework, merging the DoDAF 2.0 and the FEA (including the Practice Guide, Reference Models, FSAM and other aspects) into a single approach advocated and used throughout the government. Targeted Milestones/ Completion Date: Quarter 4 (FY 2010) – Establish team, project plan, develop target list of components and parts to be fitted into the new Framework, determine initial set of issues. Quarter 1 (FY 2011) - Plan and hold workshops, and interviews to discuss issues, best practices and develop focused recommendations for UGEAF and establish collaborative writing project teams to revised, consolidate and integrate the various components of the UGEAF into a consolidated set of guidance. Quarter 3 (FY 2011) – Draft and process comments and release approvals for UGEAF Guidance. Quarter 4 develop communications plan and issue instructional training aids. Sponsor POC and contact information: Walt Okon (DoD) and Diane Reeves (and OMB FEAPMO) Other supporting information or documentation (Please attach or give web reference): CEOG, EA Practice Guide, DoDAF 2.O, FEA Reference Models, FSAM, GAO EAMMF V 2.0 – all available on the web.

5. Attachment to RFA 2010-1 EA Snip-IT 10-01 Unified Government Enterprise Architecture Framework With the publication and release of DoDAF 2.0 and its concept of fit for purpose, and the FSAM Methodology and FEA segment approach, Government EA has enter a new period of reassessment regarding how it is used to support and achieve the governments citizen enabled open government transformation. For almost 15 years the U.S. Federal government has been evolving and revising its EA approach and guidance and has been doing so on the civilian and DoD sides mostly separately, in parallel. Other pockets of related EA approaches have been contributed by various other entities (DNI and NIEM, for examples) and now are parts of the uncoordinated and non-integrated whole sets of seemingly disparate EA frameworks, approaches and constructs used in the development of EA’s in the government. It has been discussed that a consolidated, combined and fully rationalized single Unified Government EA Framework would be beneficial to many of the governments transformational and collaborative sharing activities. For architecture-driven modernization and transformation to happen efficiently and effectively all facets of governmental planning from process enablement utilizing newer technologies to, services and capabilities sharing, to collaborative communities of interest and a variety of other facets (further described in the CEOG Paper), a new paradigm for the FEA and its use must happen. It must be both increasingly robust and commonly and consistently used at the same time, so that communications and understanding of the purposes and plans can be achieved. This is made difficult by the rapidly expanding role of government and its increasingly complex and complicated responsibilities to its citizens and the public. Give us your feedback .
