企业架构 - 涉众管理(Stakeholder Management)

复杂系统的复杂不仅在与架构开发流程本身,还与是否获得大范围涉众的一致同意有关,涉众管理的好不能肯定企业架构一定做得好,但是涉众管理做得不好,企业架构肯定做不好。对于管理类型项目来说,客户的满意度有时就能体现出我们和客户一开始交流得够不够。在A阶段(架构愿景)中我们需要进行涉众管理,交付类似下图的Stakeholder Map Matrix。本篇介绍一下涉众管理。

好处

  1. 标识重要的涉众,能在早期更好的框定架构需求和范围
  2. 通过重要涉众的支持,可以获取更多的资源
  3. 早期频繁的和涉众沟通,可以确保更完整的理解架构流程

管理流程

  1. 获取涉众列表
    • 谁从项目中收益或遭受损失?
    • 谁控制项目?
    • 谁来设计系统?
    • 谁作出决策?
    • 谁获得IT系统并决定是否购买?
    • 谁控制资源?
    • 谁有项目要求的专业技能?
    • 谁对项目有影响力?
    • 问发起人或客户
    • 检查组织机构
    • 比较类似项目组

  2. 认识涉众的态度
    • 这个人是否准备好了从当前现状改变到目标架构上?如故事,准备怎么改变?
    • 这个人是否有能力作为一个企业架构发动人和推动者?如果是,他有什么能力?
    • 如何参与到企业架构活动中?只是感兴趣了解而已,还是需要详细了解?
    • 对企业架构的开发是否有合约性的承诺?
    涉众分组 涉众 推动力 当前清楚改变 需要清楚改变 当前责任义务 需要责任义务 需要支持
    CIO 张三
    CFO 李四
  3. 知道关键涉众: Power/Interest
    • A 不关注他
    • B 让他知道
    • C 使他满意
    • D 与他协作

  4. 裁剪涉众相关交付视图(ViewPoint)

不同项目中自行进行裁剪,在TOGAF文档中举了一个裁剪示例
