Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework

The Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework (EAAF) was created by the US Federal government Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to allow federal agencies to assess and report their enterprise architecture activity and maturity, and advance the use of enterprise architecture in the federal government.

The version 2.2 of the framework was released in October 2007, and version 3.1 in June 2009.

The OMB Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework (the Framework) helps OMB and the agencies assess the capability of enterprise architecture programs to guide IT investments. It helps to understand the current state of an agency's EA, and assists them in integrating it into their decision-making processes. By applying the assessment themselves, agencies can identify strengths and weaknesses within their programs, and adjust them accordingly.

Enterprise Architecture Assessment Framework (EAAF) version 3.1 identifies the measurement areas and criteria by which agencies are expected to use the EA to drive performance improvements that result in the following outcomes:

While agencies have demonstrated a degree of maturity and competency in developing and using their EAs, EAAF seeks to advance the practice of EA, particularly through the development and use of agency segment architectures, aimed at driving the kinds of government-wide outcomes.

Government agencies assess current performance, identifying opportunities for improvement, and translate them into specific actions. Enterprise architecture is an integrated management practice that helps the use of an agency's resources to achieve their goals. Architecture describes the pathway from strategic goals and objectives, through investments, to measurable performance improvements for the entire enterprise or a portion.

Continuous performance improvement is the principal driver connecting EA program staff with business stakeholders across each phase of the performance improvement lifecycle. Agency Chief Architects and EA program staff:

Opportunities to improve mission performance are prioritized in terms of their relative value to the agency's strategic goals and objectives in the enterprise transition plan (ETP) and segment architecture.
