    "Zachman award for Enterprise Architecture"
    John Zachman at the iCMG Awards NightAs you are aware, “We have also instituted the "Zachman award for Enterprise Architecture" which will be awarded every year along with other architecture awards.
    However, this year we felt no company met the benchmark set for the award hence there are no winners in the category. Both iCMG and Zachman International will work closely to ensure that award is managed and delivered with equanimity. Hopefully, with time it should become the Oscar for the Enterprise Architects".
    Our best wishes to all the winners and sincere thanks to all who participated in 4 months long competition.

    We look forward to next year with more interesting and referencable work in the field of IT & enterprise architecture.

    Evaluation criteria for the awards - 19 of them or more! 

    Published on 19th July 2010 11:39 AM  Number of Views: 1283 

    As the evaluation process has started, it's interesting to go through the various submissions. There are several teething issues surfacing as we go on with the process. Of course, they become "to do list" for the next year ;-)

    Interestingly, few nominations are being considered for multiple categories. There are cases wherein submission have been in the wrong category. So, you see so much of work for the jury members ;-)


    Evaluation criteria part 1

    The evaluation criteria are grouped in to 2categories.

    Category I :

    In the first category, we have set of common evaluation checklist:
    1.How do you rate the problem being addressed in this project?
    2. Concerns of different stakeholders are being addresses or not?
    3. Use of framework (de factor or de jure etc)
    4. There is well defined taxonomy ( domain, business, technology)
    5. Well defined architecture centric process
    6. Well defined set of architecture artifacts
    7. Well defined performance indicators & metrics for measurements
    8. Architecture governance
    9. Perceived business benefits
    10. Innovativeness of the Architecture Work
    11. We also look at if the work ( submitted) add to the advancement in Architecture discipline

    Category II - specific to each award

    In addition to the category I, we also have category specific criteria e.g fro SOA award category, jury members will look at issues like:

    1. Process mapping
    2. Service granularity
    3. Service performanceauditing
    4. Standards-based discovery
    5. % Reuse
    6. Estimated cost savings due to reuse
    7. Message-level security, payload inspection
    8. Policy creation,
    management
    9. Use of software componentization for services


    While for ITSM, we will be look for indicators such as :
    1. Support for fully documented SLAs
    2. improvement of incidents solved within SLA time
    3. is it tied to process improvement
    4. reduction in the cost of service
    5. services covered by SLA
    6. services delivered without agreed service targets
    7. Well defined governance objectives

    I know it’s going to be very difficult for the jury members to arrive at the winner in each category. Will keep you updated as the days pass.
