The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

Even though the field of enterprise architecture (EA) has matured many organisations still struggle with its development and implementation particularly those organisations involved in continuous transformational cycles and subjected to different environmental trends. This book is intended to assist organisations in getting a grip on the factors influencing EA implementation and gaining a deeper understanding of why things happen the way they do in the practice of EA. It is a comprehensive and definitive resource that is useful to both business professionals and academics. The book presents an approach for the development implementation or institutionalisation of EA that is independent of any method or other architecture frameworks. It can be applied directly using a realistic selection of organizational variables. The approach has two distinctive features that support EA even in complex environments: From both technical and non-technical perspectives it identifies influencing factors and how they manifest in the practice of EA in an organization It offers linear and practical mechanisms for developing and implementing EA to fortify the practice of the concept in an organisation This approach represents a significant contribution to EA. Starting with descriptions for EA the book offers deepened models and frameworks for the development and implementation of EA at the domain level. It also covers factors upon which a model is built for the institutionalisation of the concept. Additionally the book discusses the implications of EA for sponsors architects and other stakeholders responsible for EA development implementation and institutionalisation. | The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

Business Analysis Requirements and Project Management A Guide for Computing Students

Business Analysis Requirements and Project Management A Guide for Computing Students

IT projects emerge from a business need. In practice software developers must accomplish two big things before an IT project can begin: find out what you need to do (i. e. analyse business requirements) and plan out how to do it (i. e. project management). The biggest problem in IT projects is delivering the wrong product because IT people do not understand what business people require. This practical textbook teaches computer science students how to manage and deliver IT projects by linking business and IT requirements with project management in an incremental and straightforward approach. Business Analysis Requirements and Project Management: A Guide for Computing Students presents an approach to analysis management that scales the business perspective. It takes a business process view of a business proposal as a model and explains how to structure a technical problem into a recognisable pattern with problem frames. It shows how to identify core transactions and model them as use cases to create a requirements table useful to designers and coders. Linked to the analysis are three management tools: the product breakdown structure (PBS) the Gantt chart and the Kanban board. The PBS is derived in part from the problem frame. The Gantt chart emerges from the PBS and ensures the key requirements are addressed by reference to use cases. The Kanban board is especially useful in Task Driven Development which the text covers. This textbook consists of two interleaving parts and features a single case study. Part one addresses the business and requirements perspective. The second integrates core project management approaches and explains how both requirements and management are connected. The remainder of the book is appendices the first of which provides solutions to the exercises presented in each chapter. The second appendix puts together much of the documentation for the case study into one place. The case study presents a real-word business scenario to expose students to professional practice. | Business Analysis Requirements and Project Management A Guide for Computing Students

The Complete Guide to Cybersecurity Risks and Controls

The Complete Guide to Cybersecurity Risks and Controls

The Complete Guide to Cybersecurity Risks and Controls presents the fundamental concepts of information and communication technology (ICT) governance and control. In this book you will learn how to create a working practical control structure that will ensure the ongoing day-to-day trustworthiness of ICT systems and data. The book explains how to establish systematic control functions and timely reporting procedures within a standard organizational framework and how to build auditable trust into the routine assurance of ICT operations. The book is based on the belief that ICT operation is a strategic governance issue rather than a technical concern. With the exponential growth of security breaches and the increasing dependency on external business partners to achieve organizational success the effective use of ICT governance and enterprise-wide frameworks to guide the implementation of integrated security controls are critical in order to mitigate data theft. Surprisingly many organizations do not have formal processes or policies to protect their assets from internal or external threats. The ICT governance and control process establishes a complete and correct set of managerial and technical control behaviors that ensures reliable monitoring and control of ICT operations. The body of knowledge for doing that is explained in this text. This body of knowledge process applies to all operational aspects of ICT responsibilities ranging from upper management policy making and planning all the way down to basic technology operation.

Practical Guide to IT Problem Management

Practical Guide to IT Problem Management

Some IT organisations seem to expend all their energy firefighting – dealing with incidents as they arise and fixing or patching over the breakage. In organisations like this restarting computers is seen as a standard method to resolve many issues. Perhaps the best way to identify whether an organisation understands problem management is to ask what they do after they have restarted the computer. If restarting the computer fixes the issue it is very tempting to say that the incident is over and the job is done. Problem management recognises that things do not improve if such an approach is taken. Such organisations are essentially spending their time running to stay in the same place. Written to help IT organisations move forward Practical Guide to IT Problem Management presents a combination of methodologies including understanding timelines and failure modes drill down 5 whys and divide and conquer. The book also presents an exploration of complexity theory and how automation can assist in the desire to shift left both the complexity of the problem and who can resolve it. The book emphasises that establishing the root cause of a problem is not the end of the process as the resolution options need to be evaluated and then prioritised alongside other improvements. It also explores the role of problem boards and checklists as well as the relationship between problem management and Lean thinking. This practical guide provides both a framework for tackling problems and a toolbox from which to select the right methodology once the type of problem being faced has been identified. In addition to reactive methods it presents proactive activities designed to reduce the incidence of problems or to reduce their impact and complexity should they arise. Solving problems is often a combination of common sense and methodologies which may either be learnt the hard way or may be taught. This practical guide shows how to use problem solving tools and to understand how and when to apply them while upskilling IT staff and improving IT problem solving processes.

Enterprise Agility A Practical Guide to Agile Business Management

Enterprise Agility A Practical Guide to Agile Business Management

Despite the astonishing technological developments in our times it is surprising how little has changed in the way organizations are structured and managed. However organizations are finally changing as they embark on agile transformations. Agility concepts emerged from the dynamics of project management and have evolved as they are being applied to organizational structure and operations. This phase of the agile evolution is known as enterprise agility. Filled with real-world scenarios and company case studies Enterprise Agility: A Practical Guide to Agile Business Management covers the evolution of agility including applied processes lessons learned and realized outcomes. The book starts with the initial phase of the agile evolution project agility and describes how waterfall project management is transformed into scrum which can have positive effects on project timelines scope and budget as well as team motivation. The second phase of agility organizational agility is the evolution of the agile principles from temporary projects to permanent organizational structures. The book explains the main components of organizational agility including structures roles and ways of organizing work. It emphasizes the advantages of transitioning from traditional organizational management to agile. Finally the latest phase enterprise agility transforms each function of the organization. The book acts as a guide and describes the change through the lens of each managerial domain (sales marketing HR finance etc. ) and by presenting the positive impact generated on the company’s overall performance based on case studies. The last chapter illustrates the enablers of this transformation and how they can help the change to be internalized so that the enterprises realize improvements. The book is based on the author’s over 15 years of experience of supporting more than 25 companies in varied sectors on their transformational journey with the last 5 years concentrating on agility. By combining business management trends and principles of agile business development it shows managers how to lead the transformation to enterprise agility by following the path from project agility to full enterprise agility. | Enterprise Agility A Practical Guide to Agile Business Management

C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework

Using the implementation of a deep learning framework as an example C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice: A Deep Learning Framework explains the application of metaprogramming in a relatively large project and emphasizes ways to optimize systems performance. The book is suitable for developers with a basic knowledge of C++. Developers familiar with mainstream deep learning frameworks can also refer to this book to compare the differences between the deep learning framework implemented with metaprogramming and compile-time computing with deep learning frameworks using object-oriented methods. Consisting of eight chapters the book starts with two chapters discussing basic techniques of metaprogramming and compile-time computing. The rest of the book’s chapters focus on the practical application of metaprogramming in a deep learning framework. It examines rich types and systems expression templates and writing complex meta-functions as well as such topics as: Heterogeneous dictionaries and policy templates An introduction to deep learning Type system and basic data types Operations and expression templates Basic layers Composite and recurrent layers Evaluation and its optimization Metaprogramming can construct flexible and efficient code. For C++ developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming the main difficulty in learning and mastering C++ metaprogramming is establishing the thinking mode of functional programming. The meta-programming approach involved at compile time is functional which means that the intermediate results of the construction cannot be changed and the impact may be greater than expected. This book enables C++ programmers to develop a functional mindset and metaprogramming skills. The book also discusses the development cost and use cost of metaprogramming and provides workarounds for minimizing these costs. | C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework
