                  Overview of the FSAWG Charter Purpose
                  and Scope

Purpose
  FSAWG is a cooperative effort with the federal architecture community to develop a
  government-wide guidance document and training materials that describe a step by
  step process for developing and using segment architectures. This guidance will
  leverage existing “best practice” architecture analysis, techniques, artifacts and
  methodologies.



Scope
  The FSAWG segment architecture guidance will include process steps to identify and
  validate the business need and the scope of the architecture to be defined (e.g., new
  initiative or integration / consolidation of existing initiatives).
  The scope includes guidance related to establishing an appropriate segment
  architecture governance structure and interfaces to other processes including
  performance / investment management, enterprise transition planning, solution
  architecture development, and system lifecycle management.




                                                                                     2

                  FSAWG has reviewed the best practices and agency
                  “slice and dice” of tools and techniques to determine
                  the breadth and scope of segment architecture
                  analysis and synthesis activities

•   Completed briefings on EA best practices by:
     o   DOI – Methodology for Business Transformation

     o   DOJ – Integrated Sharing Segment Architecture

     o   PM-ISE – Information Sharing Environment Framework and Profile

     o   HRLOB – HRLoB Approach to Architecture Development

     o   Treasury – Segment Architecture Methodology

     o   EPA – OSWER Segment Architecture

     o   DOL – STREAMLine Methodology

     o   DoD – DoDAF Version 2.0

•   Developed the Catalog and Analysis of Documents workbook to “slice and dice”
    the best practices presented by FSAWG members
•   Input provided to the Analysis of Documents “slice and dice” exercise by DOI,
    HUD, DOJ, Treasury, HHS, PM-ISE, DoD, DOL and EPA.

                                       Results thus far using the Catalog and Analysis
                                       of Documents to dissect and identify analysis
                                       techniques used in best practices

Based on the best practices, FSAWG has proposed
the following Top Level steps for the FSAM




                                              7
                FSAM deliverables will promote consistent
                artifact development and reusability. Look for
                the next generation guidance and a Segment
                Architecture “Tool Kit” this Fall

• Index of Researched Best Practices and Methods: This index
  will demonstrate the depth and breadth of segment architecture best
  practices and provide traceability that demonstrates the progress
  from disparate approaches to a best-of-bread approach.

• Segment Architecture Guidance Document and Website: The
  guidance will document the methodology, including the development
  of as-is, target and transition plans for the performance, business,
  data, services, and technology architecture layers. Templates and
  case examples will also be included.

• Training and Outreach Materials: These items will provide the
  background and instruction necessary to inform the community and
  encourage public use of the guidance.

                                                                     8
        FSAM is currently undergoing final preparations to
        prepare for the federal-wide review/comment period
