Creating an SOA Pipeline
In
the second keynote of
the SOA Consortium’s
June meeting in Ottawa,
Jim Johnson, Chairman of
The Standish Group,
shared the results of a
research study on the
top 10 drivers that are
influencing decisions on
how IT implements SOA.
These drivers are
increased business
agility, business
process modeling,
fear/fashion/peer
pressure, staff
coercion, investment
reuse, readiness
assurance, architecture
flexibility/scaling,
regulatory compliance,
security promise and
vendor hype.
For
each of the 10 drivers,
Jim describes the
underlying survey
analysis; pointing out
related statistics and
considerations around
investment, risk, yield,
project scoping,
resourcing and success
and failure rates.
Citing The Standish
Group’s 10 Laws of
Chaos, Jim provides
insight on how to
proactively recognize
and prevent situations
that typically cause
projects to fail. Such
as, the law of the empty
chair, which states your
best possible person,
will leave at worst
possible time.
Throughout
the presentation, Jim
shares how applying
pipelining techniques
– micro-project
stacks, portfolio
baselines and resource
pools – can increase
an organization’s SOA
project success rate.
