5. IT Drivers(Demand Driven IT) EA @ NASA —5— August, 2010

6. The IT Lifecycle • Strategic -determine business needs and evaluate technologies, innovations, and optimizations to create a strategic future-state vision • Planning – evaluate future-state vision against the current-state to rationalize a transition plan that will transform the current-state over time • Implementation - use transition projects from the Transition Plan to transform to the future-state vision • Operations - assume responsibility for maintaining changes to the current-state environment implemented by the transition projects and operate and improve them over their useful lifetime • Continuous Improvement- Evaluate all process groups looking for opportunities to improve value and to make sure everything remains aligned with business goals Strategic Process Group Planning Process Group Continuous Improvement Implementation Process Group Operations Process Group EA @ NASA —6— August, 2010
