IT Function critical capabilities are key areas where the IT function needs to maintain significant levels of competence, skill and experience and practise in order to operate and deliver a service. There are several different IT capability frameworks. The objective of these notes is to assess the suitability and applicability of these frameworks. These models can be used to identify what is important for your IT function based on your current and desired/necessary activity profile. Capabilities vary across organisation – not all capabilities have the same importance for all organisations. These frameworks do not readily accommodate variability in the relative importance of capabilities. The assessment approach taken is to identify a generalised set of capabilities needed across the span of IT function operations, from strategy to operations and delivery. This generic model is then be used to assess individual frameworks to determine their scope and coverage and to identify gaps. The generic IT function capability model proposed here consists of five groups or domains of major capabilities that can be organised across the span of the IT function: 1. Information Technology Strategy, Management and Governance 2. Technology and Platforms Standards Development and Management 3. Technology and Solution Consulting and Delivery 4. Operational Run The Business/Business as Usual/Service Provision 5. Change The Business/Development and Introduction of New Services In the context of trends and initiatives such as outsourcing, transition to cloud services and greater platform-based offerings, should the IT function develop and enhance its meta-capabilities – the management of the delivery of capabilities? Is capability identification and delivery management the most important capability? Outsourced service delivery in all its forms is not a fire-and-forget activity. You can outsource the provision of any service except the management of the supply of that service. The following IT capability models have been evaluated: • IT4IT Reference Architecture https://www.opengroup.org/it4it contains 32 functional components • European e-Competence Framework (ECF) http://www.ecompetences.eu/ contains 40 competencies • ITIL V4 https://www.axelos.com/best-practice-solutions/itil has 34 management practices • COBIT 2019 https://www.isaca.org/resources/cobit has 40 management and control processes • APQC Process Classification Framework - https://www.apqc.org/process-performance-management/process-frameworks version 7.2.1 has 44 major IT management processes • IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) https://ivi.ie/critical-capabilities/ contains 37 critical capabilities The following model has not been evaluated • Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) - http://www.sfia-online.org/ lists over 100 skills

Maximising The Value and Benefits of Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architectures play an important role supporting business transformation initiatives. Enterprise Architecture Governance (EAG) provides a structure for defining relevant strategies and compliance processes. This Level 3 Communications case study presents a detailed framework composed of three essential components of EAG: 1) Organizational Accountability must be clearly defi ned for all EAG aspects, and executive sponsorship is essential. Level 3 formed an executive steering committee with broad representation, preventing EAG from becoming an IT-only initiative. 2) Strategy Defi nition provides the roadmap for business transformation initiatives. Architectural guiding principles defi ne values and offer input into strategies, end states define where the company is going, and roadmaps document how to get there from. 3) Compliance Processes ensure that development initiatives are in alignment with the strategic direction. Level 3 has created a framework that gives each development initiative an architecture rating that indicates its compliance level.

This reviews the Open Group’s IT4IT Reference Architecture (https://www.opengroup.org/it4it) with respect to other operational frameworks to determine its suitability and applicability to the IT operating function. IT4IT is intended to be a reference architecture for the management of the IT function. It aims to take a value chain approach to create a model of the functions that IT performs and the services it provides to assist organisations in the identification of the activities that contribute to business competitiveness. It is intended to be an integrated framework for the management of IT that emphasises IT service lifecycles. This paper reviews what is meant by a value-chain, with special reference to the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model (https://www.apics.org/apics-for-business/frameworks/scor). the most widely used and most comprehensive such model. The SCOR model is part of wider set of operations reference models that describe a view of the critical elements in a value chain: • Product Life Cycle Operations Reference model (PLCOR) - Manages the activities for product innovation and product and portfolio management • Customer Chain Operations Reference model (CCOR) - Manages the customer interaction processes • Design Chain Operations Reference model (DCOR) - Manages the product and service development processes • Managing for Supply Chain Performance (M4SC) - Translates business strategies into supply chain execution plans and policies It also compares the IT4IT Reference Architecture and its 32 functional components to other frameworks that purport to identify the critical capabilities of the IT function: • IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) https://ivi.ie/critical-capabilities/ contains 37 critical capabilities • Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) - http://www.sfia-online.org/ lists over 100 skills • European e-Competence Framework (ECF) http://www.ecompetences.eu/ contains 40 competencies • ITIL IT Service Management https://www.axelos.com/best-practice-solutions/itil • COBIT 2019 https://www.isaca.org/resources/cobit has 40 management and control processes

The role of solution architecture is to identify answer to a business problem and set of solution options and their components. There will be many potential solutions to a problem with varying degrees of suitability to the underlying business need. Solution options are derived from a combination of Solution Architecture Dimensions/Views which describe characteristics, features, qualities, requirements and Solution Design Factors, Limitations And Boundaries which delineate limitations. Use of structured approach can assist with solution design to create consistency. The TOGAF approach to enterprise architecture can be adapted to perform some of the analysis and design for elements of Solution Architecture Dimensions/Views.

Structured Approach to Solution Architecture

As we head into a new year, one thing is for sure, the world of technology and IT will continue to evolve and be disrupted at a frightening pace. The role of the modern IT organisation will thus need to adapt and be agile in order to keep pace with this changing landscape and to continue to be valuable to the organisations that they service. As IT estates become more complex, internal IT functions will need to become more mature and efficient in the way they operate in order to be perceived as a valued asset to the business. The release of IT4IT at the end of last year provides an interesting and potentially highly valuable reference architecture for IT organisations to use to help achieve this level of maturity and efficiency. The IT4IT standard has really started to pick up momentum as we start 2016 and it is great to see the increase in the membership of the IT4IT forum as well as the general interest that is being seen in the industry for this new standard. I recently co-presented a webinar in collaboration with the Open Group where we looked at the potential real-world application and benefits that IT4IT can offer. Mandate and mindset will be critical to the successful use of IT4IT but I am confident that this approach has the potential to be very beneficial for many organisations as the role of the IT function continues to be redefined.

What Is IT4IT? – An Introduction To A New Standard The IT industry has long lacked a complete end-to-end management standard, one that includes architecture, project, portfolio, service, and operations management. It’s a challenge, one that the IT4IT standard has been designed to address. IT4IT is the first end-to-end, vendor-neutral reference model for IT management and its systems. This session will give you a comprehensive overview on the history, positioning, and content of IT4IT and show you how to make it a reality for your organisation. Advanced traditional IT departments, with silos organised around deep disciplines, policies, and processes, won’t work for tomorrow’s world. Most IT departments with specialist groups that speak their own dialect, struggle to agree on shared goals and values. Because of this, it’s hard to deliver optimal business outcomes. This session will help you break down the barriers and harness the power of IT4IT, a high-level standard for managing the whole of IT with an enterprise service-centric architecture.
