復雜系統的復雜不僅在與架構開發流程本身,還與是否獲得大范圍涉眾的一致同意有關, 涉眾管理的好不能肯定企業架構一定做得好,但是涉眾管理做得不好,企業架構肯定做不好 。在A階段(架構願景)中我們需要進行涉眾管理,交付類似下圖的Stakeholder Map Matrix 。本篇介紹一下涉眾管理。
好處
標識重要的涉眾,能在早期更好的框定架構需求和范圍
通過重要涉眾的支持 ,可以獲取更多的資源
早期頻繁的和涉眾溝通,可以確保更完整的理解架構流程
管理流程
獲取涉眾列表
誰從項目中收益或遭受損失?
誰控制 項目?
誰來設計系統?
誰作出決策?
誰獲得IT系統並決定是否購買?
誰控制資源?
誰有項目要求的專業技能?
誰對項目有影響力?
問 發起人或客戶
檢查組織機構
比較類似項目組
認識涉眾的態度
這個人是否准備好了從當前現狀改變到目標架構上?如故事,准 備怎麼改變?
這個人是否有能力作為一個企業架構發動人和推動者?如果是,他有什 麼能力?
如何參與到企業架構活動中?只是感興趣了解而已,還是需要詳細了解?
對企業架構的開發是否有合約性的承諾?
涉眾分組 涉眾 推動力 當前清楚改變 需要清楚改變 當 前責任義務 需要責任義務 需要支持 CIO 張 三 高 中 高 低 中 高 CFO 李四 中 中 中 低 中 中
知道關鍵涉眾: Power/Interest
A 不關注他
B 讓他知道
C 使他滿意
D 與他協作
