Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework
The US Federal Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework (EAAF) was created by the US government Office of Management and Budget to allow federal agencies to assess and report their enterprise architecture activity and maturity.[1] Version 2.2 was released in October 2007.[2] Version 3.0 is to follow.
The OMB Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework (hereafter called the Framework) helps OMB and the agencies assess the capability of EA[3] programs to guide and inform strategic IT investments. It also helps to better understand the current state of an agency’s EA, and assists agencies in integrating their EA into their decision-making processes. By applying the assessment themselves, agencies are able to identify strengths and weaknesses within their EA programs and adjust them accordingly. As a result, the agency’s enterprise architecture will help improve the performance of Information Resource Management (IRM) and Information Technology (IT) investment decision-making.
