UNCLASSIFIEDIntroductionThe aim of today’s presentation is to Acquaint participants with EnterpriseArchitecture in the context of DND/CAF Provide an overview of the DND/CAF EAProgramme enablement and lessonslearned22NationalDefenceDéfensenationale
UNCLASSIFIEDDepartment of National Defence (DND) andthe Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) DND is the largest federal governmentdepartment in Canada. DND and the CAF together have a budget ofapproximately 20 billion dollars, and over 115,000employees, including:- 65,000 Regular Force members;- 25,000 Reserve Force members (including- 4,000 Canadian Rangers); and- 25,000 civilians.

UNCLASSIFIEDEA – A Basic UnderstandingEA – A Basic Understanding Imagine that we find ourselves in a newcircumstance, job, travel, function,situation, environment etc. Q As human beings, what dowe do and why? A Seek understanding by asking: WHO;WHAT; WHERE; WHEN; WHY; HOW44NationalDefenceDéfensenationale

UNCLASSIFIEDDEA MandateTo actively establish, implementand manage a robust EA Programmethat will ensure understanding by; enabling all DND/CAF organizations to employ astandard architecture framework and software tool establishing an integrated repository of DND/CFArchitecture information to permit sharing of acommon set of solutions providing a support capability to advise and assist EApractitioners, i.e. training, helpdesk, SME assistance1212NationalDefenceDéfensenationale
UNCLASSIFIEDBuilding a successful EA Programme for DND/CAFDND/CAFEA ProgrammeVision - The Enterprise Architecture practice is embedded into the DND/CAF daily activities. Theuse of a clear, consistent, communicated and managed architecture provides decision makers atall levels with current information in support of change management and decision making.All these componentscontribute, in varyingdegrees, to providingDND/CAF with theability to do EnterpriseArchitecture.A successful EAProgramme is builtupon a number of“pillars”:DND/CAFArchitectureFrameworkTools, ssion - DEA will develop, implement and maintain the DND/CAF EA Programme to ensuredecision makers and systems developers at all levels are well supported with timely andaccurate architectural information, tools and training.1313NationalDefenceDéfensenationale
