US 2010/0250314 A1 · SERVICE PORTFOLIO APPROACH FOR SOA GOVERNANCE

Abstract

Methods, including service methods, articles of manufacture, systems, articles and programmable devices are provided for implementing a business services portfolio-centric, service-oriented architecture governance framework. Business stakeholders are enabled to manage a business services portfolio, and information technology stakeholders are enabled to manage realization components of the business services portfolio through a service-oriented architecture governance framework. The business stakeholders influence the service-oriented architecture governance framework through interaction with the business services portfolio and an enterprise business portfolio. Some interactions with business services and enterprise business portfolios include establishing a current state of organizational processes of the service-oriented architecture governance framework, assessing a strategic need for enablement of the business services portfolio as a function of the current state, defining a management construct for the business services portfolio as a function of the strategic need, and defining measurement criteria for the business services portfolio as a function of the construct.
