Step 1 - define a tight scope and goal; specific scope and a part of the business that is critical to the strategy; EBA should leverage EA
Step 2 - organize an EBA core team; archeology work to find the existing models that represent process or organization; extended virtual team; biz process analysts, pm, folks from HR, biz functional leaders + IT strategic planning, CxOs, IT folks; meet regularly with the core team; rotate people on and off the team - keep it fresh; bringing biz and IT together
Step 3 - Future State - leverage the biz capability model; do future state before current state; understand roles and skills associated with the future state; then look at current state
Roles, Skills, Impact, Gaps, metrics, processes, organizations
Step 4 - Current State - where are you today
Step 5/6 - Gap analysis and migration plan; hire new people? change biz process? train people? new apps? tie biz arch view with the rest of EA; technology becomes relevant to biz goals
Step 7 - Iterate and Revise - communicate, communicate, communicate; EBA is an on-going process; get others involved (HR, strategic biz planning, finance, quality teams, compliance and risk; monitor market, economic, social and environmental changes; revise the related principles, requirements and models; rotate and evolve EA core and virtual teams
