Work instruction project to production

If a project is completed or there is an important release, the generic entities must be transferred from the project package to the production package. This is a controlled step that is carried out in consultation with the model manager. This diagram describes this work process.

Diagram in standard mode

Model manager

Responsible for the use and deployment of the models in the architecture repository. Has a coordinating and controlling task for all modeling roles involved in the architecture. Monitors the consistency of the architecture repository and provides modellers with information and training on the use of the architecture repository.


Details van Model manager

Team manager

Team manager of the architecture team or lead architect, manages the team and is the chairman of the architecture board.


Details van Team manager

Modeller

Creates models in the architecture repository such as building blocks, solution architectures and base plates etc.


Details van Modeller

Domain architects

Domain architects are responsible for the established architecture based on a classification of domains. These can be domains based on domains within the organization or domains within the architectural structuring.

Architecture board

Depending on the type of solution, infrastructure or application architects participate in the architecture board.

Develop solution in workbook

Based on the project template for solutions, the models are developed in EA by the solution architect. Only those diagrams that are relevant to the solution are developed.


Details van Develop solution in workbook

Discuss elaboration with domain architect

Solution architect discusses the elaboration with the domain architect involved and processes any improvement suggestions.

Provide 0.9 version to architecture board

Offering the 0.9 version of the solution architecture/PSA to the architecture board.


Details van Provide 0.9 version to architecture board

Evaluate models and elements in transfer

Evaluation of the models between the modeler(s) and the model manager. This involves examining which elements are generic, which diagrams are relevant as generic diagrams and, if desired, how these elements are integrated with the elements already present in the production package.

Request for material

If no contact has been made by the Solution architect after 1 week, one of the model managers will request that the material be supplied. After no response (approximately 1 week), request again and the team leader will be included in the email exchange. .


Details van Request for material

Communicate changes in production

Informing the relevant stakeholders about the adjustments in the content of the production package in the established new architectural concepts.


Details van Communicate changes in production

Escalation to team manager

The solution architect must offer the solution material to the model manager so that it can be determined what will be part of the baseline architecture. If this occurs after a number of requests to supply the material, it will be escalated to the team manager.


Details van Escalation to team manager

Validate diagrams

Validation of the models based on the reference models and the existing viewpoints for the organization.


Details van Validate diagrams

Models in Project2P production

The solution architect places the diagrams and elements in the project2productie folder.

Place identified entities in package project2production

The modeler places the diagrams, packages and entities that he/she considers relevant for use as generic entities in the production package. This means that the entities can be used by other modelers in their own solutions and diagrams. This makes the elements part of the baseline architecture.

Approval by AB

After approval in the AB Applications, the secretary of the AB App informs the relevant SA with the request to contact the model managers for an appointment to transfer everything to production: with cc to the model managers mailbox.


Details van Approval by AB

Move diagrams and elements into production

Actual transfer of the elements and diagrams to the desired packages and subpackages within the production package. Once a week, the mailbox is actively viewed by the model managers and work is distributed for that week. (weekly stand-up like).
