The purpose of this volume is to present a framework for incorporating architecture based DOTMLPF assessments into the JCIDS and DoD acquisition processes. It presents a recommended set of assessments across the seven domains, describing the information and data needed to conduct each assessment, the standard architecture products that may contain the required information and data, the expected output of the assessment, and the general nature of the assessment (i.e., Objective or Subjective). The presentation is not meant to be inclusive of all potential DOTMLPF or architecture related...

An addendum to "Architecture Development Made Easy, Second Edition," that provides comprehensive checklists for the development of each DoDAF enterprise architecture product.

An updated and improved version of the previously well-received First Edition, that provides step-by-step instructions for developing and using enterprise architecture products in accordance with the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DODAF). The Second Edition adds new modeling types and methodologies, to include Object Oriented (OO) models and the Extensible Markup Language (XML). A separately available addendum provides development checklists for each product.

This sourcebook addresses a critical shortcoming in the body of architecture related guidance and instructions available to the architecture community-the lack of a single, comprehensive document that describes how to execute an enterprise architecture project from conception to completion and through post-development maintenance. It provides the basic description of an end-to-end architecture process that will help users greatly shorten the time required to master the art and science of becoming an expert enterprise architect.
