In addition to a content metamodel, SSC has established a set of specific artifacts (catalogs, matrices, diagrams) that are required.  In general, these artifacts follow the recommended viewpoints established in the ArchiMate 3.0.1 Specification.  However, in some instances we have chosen diagrams that better suit our particular needs, particularly in respect to project and service governance.

=== SSC Key EA Artifacts Diagram ===
 
[[File:EA_Models_Structure.png|frameless|944x944px]]
 
 
 
=== EA Artifacts definitions ===
 
The following are the required and recommended artifacts for architecture at SSC. 
 
 
 
==== Strategic Architecture ====
 
 
 
===== Strategic Motivation Analysis =====
 
 
 
====== Motivation Diagram ======
 
ArchiMate Viewpoint:  Motivation Viewpoint                  (standard)
 
 
 
Scope/Constraints:  None.
 
 
 
Key Stakeholders: Enterprise architects, business analysts, strategic planning, benefits realization team.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  Used to identify and related the key strategic drivers, goals, outcomes of the organization, and the key strategic stakeholders.  Provides links to identify what existing and planned architecture are supporting the enterprise's desired target direction.
 
 
 
===== Business Capability Map =====
 
ArchiMate Viewpoint:  Capability Map
 
 
 
Scope/Constraints:  Generally limited to identifying capabilities/sub-capabilities, and their association with enterprise strategic outcomes, goals, drivers.
 
 
 
Key Stakeholders:  Senior executives, branches, business managers, enterprise and business architects.  Investment prioritization.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  A primary communication mechanism with SSC executives on the state of the architecture, activities, and progress towards desired target direction.  Helps ensure alignment between current/target activities and the strategic direction/capabilities of the organization.  Investment prioritization.
 
 
 
===== Strategic Business Architecture =====
 
 
 
====== Segment/Service Overview Diagram ======
 
ArchiMate Viewpoint:  Business Process Cooperation Viewpoint
 
 
 
Scope/Constraints:  Uses only business functions, and business functions with categories "SSC Segment", "SSC Client-facing Service", and "SSC Supporting Service".  It does not show detailed information about roles, processes, information, technologies, applications involved in each segment.  One diagram shows all segments, and key high-level associated functions. 
 
 
 
Key Stakeholders:  Enterprise architects/Enterprise Architecture management/executives.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  Enables EA to organize, prioritize and assign architecture work/activities.  In particular, it identifies the segments that will be used to organize EA work, and distributes the key services/functions among them.  Segment diagrams are produced for each segment that provides a more complete definition of what belongs in each segment.
 
 
 
====== Segment Diagram ======
 
ArchiMate Viewpoint:  Business Process Cooperation Viewpoint
 
 
 
Scope/Constraints:  Uses only business functions, and business functions with categories "SSC Segment", "SSC Client-facing Service", and "SSC Supporting Service".  It may begin to associate key high-level roles, information, applications - but generally, it leaves details of architecture to dedicated lower-level diagrams.  One diagram per defined segment. 
 
 
 
Key Stakeholders:  Enterprise architects/Enterprise Architecture management/executives.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  Enables EA to organize, prioritize and assign architecture work/activities.  In particular, it identifies the segments that will be used to organize EA work, and distributes the key services/functions among them.  
 
 
 
====== SSC Service Catalog ======
 
 
 
Key Stakeholders:  SSC executives, service mangement, service inventory, enterprise architects, service leads, service teams, service architects, solution architects.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  Provides a list of the SSC functions designated as "SSC Services" including with key attributes used for service management and service inventory management.
 
 
 
===== Reference Library =====
 
 
 
====== Reference Architecture Catalog ======
 
 
 
Key Stakeholders:  Enterprise architects, service architects, solution architects, engineers/implementers.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  Provides a list of the reference architecture documents available, informing architects of the standard patterns and considerations for preparing architecture in particular defined circumstances.
 
 
 
====== Reference Architecture Diagram ======
 
ArchiMate Viewpoint:  Layered Viewpoint
 
 
 
Scope/Constraints:  Uses any/all required objects, in generic/abstract forms, at any level.   
 
 
 
Key Stakeholders:  Enterprise architects, service architects, solution architects, engineers/implementers.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  Diagrams of reference architecture patterns/options, to illustrate patterns and considerations for preparing new architectures under particular defined conditions/circumstances.  Used to ensure alignment/compliance and consistency of implementations.
 
 
 
====== IT Standard Catalog ======
 
Key Stakeholders:  Enterprise architects, service architects, solution architects, engineers/implementers.
 
 
 
Purpose/Value:  Provides a list of IT Standards to be applied to architectures, designs and implementations at SSC.  Used to ensure alignment/compliance and consistency of implementations.
 
 
 
====== Content Metamodel Diagram ======
 
Lexicon Catalog
 
 
 
==== Service/Solution Architecture ====
 
SSC Project Catalog
 
 
 
===== Project Definition =====
 
Requirements Catalog
 
 
 
Motivation (Benefits Realization) Diagram
 
 
 
==== Conceptual Architecture ====
 
Solution Context Diagram
 
 
 
Solution Conceptual Diagram
 
 
 
===== Logical/Physical Architecture =====
 
Business Process Cooperation Diagram
 
 
 
Implementation and Deployment Diagram
 
 
 
Application Cooperation Diagram
 
 
 
Technology Usage Diagram
 
 
 
Technology Diagram
