From MIKE2 Methodology

This article is currently Under Construction. It is undergoing major changes as it is in the early stages of development. Users should help contribute to this article to get it to the point where is ready for a Peer Review.

This deliverable template is used to describe a sample of the MIKE2.0 Methodology (typically at a task level). More templates are now being added to MIKE2.0 as this has been a frequently requested aspect of the methodology. Contributors are strongly encouraged to assist in this effort.

Deliverable templates are illustrative as opposed to fully representative. Please help add examples to this template that are representative of the proposed output.

Overview

The Programme Charter states the overall scope of work for the project. While for many projects this may be poorly defined in the early stages, some level of charter should be defined from the onset. This can be then be refined in the production of the Business and Technology Blueprint.

Example 1- An Information Management Center

Scope Statement

The Vision for this programme is to formulate an Enterprise program for Information Management facilitate its ongoing implementation. To realize this approach, this worksteam would move to a new organizational model which is known as an Information Development Center of Excellence. This Center of Excellence will have the following responsibilities:

• Create an overall process in which all stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities for information management

• Define a Business Strategy for Information Management

• Define a Technology Strategy for Information Management

• Set the standards and guidelines for FR&C program-wide information architecture deliverables

• Build and assemble, based upon proven experience, a set of architecture best practices

• Define a training and educational program which will provide the people the necessary skill sets around information management

• Define a set of metrics which will measure progress toward goals of the Information Development program

• Lead up changes to Information policy, compliance and metrics to improve the overall information management process

• Provide central SDLC functions around discovery of data quality issues and resolution of data quality issues

• Lead up aspects of the information modeling process, including definition of data standards, data modeling and metadata management

• Assess information management industry trends on an ongoing basis for impacts within the enterprise

• Find the ‘low hanging fruit’ process issues that cause data quality problems – Fix the Root Causes!

The approach will concentrate on using a relatively small core of senior staff to leverage the ongoing work across the enterprise. The core staff will facilitate, synthesize, mentor, communicate and create where appropriate and necessary.
