Information Technology: Enterprise Architecture Use Across the	 
Federal Government Can Be Improved (19-FEB-02, GAO-02-6).	 
								 
An enterprise architecture includes descriptive models to aid	 
decisionmakers in understanding how an entity operates today and 
in the future. Although 52 percent of federal departments and	 
agencies report that they have satisfied at least those 	 
management practices for developing, completing, and leveraging  
architectures, only four percent report that they have satisfied 
the management practices necessary for an effective enterprise	 
architecture manager. As an advocate of enterprise architecture  
development and use, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)	 
has begun to address this area in its budget interactions with	 
major departments and agencies. Nevertheless, OMB could improve  
its oversight approach by measuring agency progress in a more	 
structured manner and advancing the state of enterprise 	 
architecture maturity, expanding the number of agencies subject  
to its oversight, and focusing on governmentwide actions to	 
assist agencies in meeting common enterprise architecture	 
challenges.

Effectively and efficiently designing and erecting a modern building
requires construction blueprints that define, among other things, the
building?s features, functions, and systems, including applicable building
codes, rules, and standards, as well as the interrelationships among these
components. Effectively and efficiently transforming an entity?s operational
and technology environments also requires a blueprint-

commonly referred to as an enterprise architecture. Such an architecture
includes descriptive models (defined in both business and technology terms)
to aid decisionmakers in understanding the complexities around how the
entity operates today and how it wants to operate in the future. It also
includes a roadmap for transitioning to this future operational state.

Our experience with federal agencies has shown that attempting to modernize
information technology (IT) environments without an enterprise architecture
to guide and constrain investments often results in systems that are
duplicative, not well integrated, unnecessarily costly to maintain and
interface, and ineffective in supporting mission goals. Managed properly,
architectures can clarify and help optimize the

interdependencies and interrelationships among related enterprise operations
and the underlying IT infrastructure and applications that support them. The
development, implementation, and maintenance of architectures are a
recognized hallmark of successful public and private organizations. Further,
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A- 130, 1 which implements
the Clinger- Cohen Act of 1996, 2 requires executive branch agencies to use
them.

Because of the importance of these architectures, we reviewed the state of
their use in the federal government. Our objectives were to determine (1)
the status of federal agencies? efforts to develop, implement, and maintain
enterprise architectures and (2) OMB?s actions to oversee these efforts. To
accomplish these goals, we surveyed 116 federal agencies using a
questionnaire that was based on the core elements of effective enterprise
architecture management as defined in the Chief Information Officers (CIO)
Council- published Practical Guide to Federal Enterprise

Architecture. 3 We did not independently verify the data that the agencies
provided. Details of our objectives, scope, and methodology are discussed in
appendix I.

Results in Brief The state of the federal government?s use of enterprise
architectures is a work in progress, with much left to be accomplished.
Although about 52

percent of federal departments and agencies report that they have satisfied
at least those management practices that provide the foundation for
developing, completing, and leveraging architectures, only about 4 percent
report that they have satisfied the management practices that, in our view,

are necessary to be an effective enterprise architecture manager. The state
of enterprise architecture use in the federal government can be attributed
to several related factors. Specifically, agency executives have
historically not understood the purpose, content, and value of these
architectures, a misunderstanding that in turn has not allowed these
management tools to receive the executive sponsorship they need to be

treated as a funding priority and to overcome the embedded cultural
resistance to the non- parochial, entitywide approach that enterprise
architectures promote. Further, skilled human capital in the discipline of
enterprise architecture is a scarce resource. Accordingly, most federal
agencies currently do not have the architectural context and enforcement

mechanisms needed for making informed IT investment decisions, thus
increasing the risk that these agencies will build and modernize systems
that are duplicative, poorly integrated, unnecessarily costly to maintain
and interface, and ineffective in optimizing agency mission performance.

OMB has been an advocate of enterprise architecture development and use.
Building on this advocacy, the agency has, among other things, begun to
address this important area in its budget interactions with major
departments and agencies. We support OMB?s attention to this vitally
important area. Nevertheless, we believe that OMB?s existing oversight
approach can be improved by using a more structured means of measuring
agency progress in advancing the state of enterprise architecture maturity,
expanding the number of agencies subject to its oversight approach, and
focusing on governmentwide actions needed to assist agencies in meeting
common enterprise architecture challenges. We are providing the OMB director
with the baseline data, improvement framework, and recommendations for
making these improvements.

In commenting on a draft of this report, officials from OMB?s Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs generally agreed with our findings and
conclusions and stated that they would consider our recommendations. They
also provided additional information about recent and planned OMB enterprise
architecture initiatives, which we have incorporated in the report.

Background Enterprise architectures (EA) provide a clear and comprehensive
picture of an entity, whether an organization (e. g., federal department,
agency, or

bureau) or a functional or mission area that cuts across more than one
organization (e. g., financial management). The concept of such
architectures first emerged in the mid- 1980s, and over the years various
frameworks for defining the content of EAs have been published. Our

work in the early 1990s identified architectures as a critical success
factor for organizations that effectively leveraged IT in meeting their
mission goals, and it advocated federal agency use of architectures. Since
then, we have worked with the Congress, OMB, and the federal CIO Council to
recognize the importance of architectures and assist agencies in developing

and using them. Nevertheless, our reviews of agency IT management practices
and major systems modernization programs continue to identify the lack of
architectures as a major IT management weakness, and they have produced
numerous recommendations to address this important area. In some cases, most
notably the U. S. Customs Service, our work has shown that EA management has
improved significantly.

effectively and efficiently A Brief Description

engineering business processes and for implementing and evolving their
supporting systems. In the simplest of terms, an enterprise is any
purposeful activity and an architecture is the structure (or structural
description) of an activity. More specifically, EAs are systematically
derived and captured descriptions- in useful models, diagrams, and

narrative- of the mode of operation for a given enterprise, which can be (1)
a single organization or (2) a functional or mission area that transcends
more than one organizational boundary (e. g., financial management,
acquisition management, logistics management). The architecture describes
the enterprise?s operations in both (1) logical terms, such as interrelated
business processes and business rules, information needs and

flows, and work locations and users, and (2) technical terms, such as
hardware, software, data, communications, and security attributes and
performance standards. It provides these perspectives both for the
enterprise?s current or ?as is? environment and for its target or ?to be?
environment, as well as a transition plan for moving from the ?as is? to the

?to be? environment. EA development, implementation, and maintenance is a
basic tenet of effective IT management. Managed properly, these
architectures can clarify and help optimize the interdependencies and
interrelationships among an organization?s business operations and the
underlying IT infrastructure and applications that support these operations.
Employed in concert with other important IT management controls, such as
portfoliobased capital planning and investment control practices, EAs can
greatly increase the chances that organizations? operational and IT
environments will be configured in such a way as to optimize mission
performance. Our

experience with federal agencies has shown that attempting to define and
build major IT systems without using a complete architecture often results
in systems that are duplicative, are not well integrated, and are
unnecessarily costly to maintain and interface.

Enterprise Architectures: The concept of EAs dates back to the mid- 1980s.
At that time, John A Brief History of

Zachman, widely recognized as a leader in the field, identified the need to
Frameworks and use a logical construction blueprint (i. e., an architecture)
for defining and controlling the integration of systems and their
components. 4 Accordingly, Management Guidance Zachman developed a
?framework? or structure for logically defining and capturing an
architecture. Drawing parallels to the field of classical architecture, and,
later, to the aircraft manufacturing industry, in which different work
products (e. g., architect plans, contractor plans, shop plans, bills of
lading) represent different views of the planned building or aircraft,
respectively, Zachman?s framework identified the kind of work products
needed to understand and thus build a given system or entity. In short, this

framework provides six perspectives or windows from which to view how a
given entity operates. The perspectives are those of the (1) strategic
planner, (2) system user, (3) system designer, (4) system developer, (5)
subcontractor, and (6) system itself. Associated with each of these
perspectives, Zachman also proposed six abstractions of the entity, or
models covering (1) how the entity operates, (2) what the entity uses to
operate, (3) where the entity operates, (4) who operates the entity, (5)
when entity operations occur, and (6) why the entity operates.

Zachman?s framework provides a way to identify and describe an entity?s
existing and planned component parts and the parts? relationships before the
costly and time- consuming efforts associated with developing or
transforming the entity begin.

Since the late 1980s, architecture frameworks have emerged within the
federal government, beginning with the publication of the National Institute
of Standards and Technology framework in 1989. 5 Subsequently, we issued EA
guidance, 6 and our research of successful public and privatesector

federal entities have issued EA frameworks, including the Department of
Defense, 8 Department of the Treasury, 9 and the federal CIO Council. 10
Although the various frameworks use different terminology and somewhat
different structures, they are fundamentally consistent in purpose and

content, and they are being used today to varying degrees by many federal
agencies. The emergence of federal frameworks and guidance over the last 5
years owes largely to the Congress?s passage of the Clinger- Cohen Act in
1996. 11 This act, among other things, requires the CIOs for major
departments and

agencies to develop, maintain, and facilitate the implementation of
information technology architectures as a means of integrating business
processes and agency goals with IT. In response to the act, OMB, in
collaboration with us, issued guidance on the development and implementation
of EAs. 12 More recently, OMB issued additional guidance directing that
agency investments in IT be based on agency architectures. 13 Similarly, the
CIO Council, in addition to publishing a federal enterprise

architecture framework, recently collaborated with us in issuing two
additional EA guidance documents. The first addresses EA enforcement and
describes how an organization should go about assessing whether its proposed
IT investments are compliant with its EA. 14 The second

addresses development, maintenance, and implementation, describing in
practical terms an end- to- end set of steps for managing an EA program. 15

incomplete, and we made recommendations that they develop and

implement complete EAs to guide their modernization efforts. Since then, we
have reviewed architecture management at other federal agencies, including
the Department of Education, 19 Customs Service, 20 Immigration and
Naturalization Service, 21 and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,

agency functional areas, such as DOD financial management, 23 logistics
management, 24 and combat identification. 25 These reviews have continued to
identify the absence of complete and enforced EAs, which in turn have led to
agency business operations, systems, and data that are stovepiped,
duplicative, and incompatible, and have forced agencies either not to share
data or to depend on expensive, custom- developed interface systems to do
so.

In response to our recommendations, some agencies have made progress,
particularly those at which our recommendations were made many years ago.
However, this progress has taken considerable time to achieve. Other

agencies have yet to make much progress. The most notable exception to this
is the Customs Service, which completed an EA as well as the management

Their EA Efforts time has existed. Accordingly, we have developed an initial
version of an EA management maturity framework to serve as this standard
that is based

on the core elements from the CIO Council- published practical guide for EA
management. Specifically, we arranged these core elements into a series of
five hierarchical stages based on the implicit dependencies among these
elements addressed in the guide. We also categorized these core elements
into attributes associated with effectively discharging any

management function- namely, elements that demonstrate organizational
commitment, such as policies and approvals; elements that provide the
capability to satisfy the commitment, such as assignment of organizational
roles and responsibilities; elements that demonstrate satisfaction of the

commitment, such as EA plans and products; and elements that verify
satisfaction of the commitment, such as measurements. This framework
construct is consistent with other maturity frameworks, such as our
Information Technology Investment Management framework. 26

The framework?s five stages of EA management maturity are depicted in figure
1 and constitute an initial version of our EA maturity framework (version
1.0). Associated with each stage is a description of EA management core
elements, categorized as discussed above. All of the elements associated
with a particular stage must be met in order to achieve that stage of
maturity.

Stage 1: Creating EA Awareness is characterized by either no plans to
develop and use an EA, or plans and actions that do not yet demonstrate an
awareness of the value of having and using one. While Stage 1 agencies may
have initiated some EA core elements, these agencies? efforts are ad hoc and
unstructured, and do not provide the management foundation necessary for
successful EA development.

Stage 2: Building the EA Management Foundation focuses on assignment of
roles and responsibilities and establishment of plans for developing EA
products. Specifically, a Stage 2 agency has designated a chief architect
and established and staffed a program office responsible for EA development.
Further, a steering committee or group that has

responsibility for directing and overseeing the development has been
established and the membership of the steering committee is comprised of
business and IT representatives. At Stage 2, the agency either has plans for
developing or has begun development of at least some of the necessary EA
products. This stage also requires the agency to have selected both a
framework that will be the basis for the nature and content of the specific
products it plans to develop, and an automated tool to help in the
development.

Stage 3: Developing Architecture Products focuses on actual development of
EA products. At Stage 3, the agency has defined the scope of its EA as
encompassing the entire enterprise, whether organizationbased or function-
based, and it has a written and approved policy demonstrating institutional
commitment. Although the products may not

and Improving Process Maturity (Exposure Draft, GAO/ AIMD- 10.1.23, May
2000).

yet be complete, they are intended to describe the agency in business, data,
applications, and technology terms. Further, the products are to describe
the current (i. e., ?as is?) and future (i. e., ?to be?) states and the plan
for transitioning from current to future state (i. e., sequencing plan).
Also, as

the architecture products are being developed, they are to be subject to
configuration control.

Stage 4: Completing EA Products is characterized by complete and approved EA
products that the agency can use to help select and control its portfolio of
IT investments. The complete products describe the agency in business, data,
applications, and technology terms. Also, the products are

complete in that they describe the agency?s current and future states and
the transition plan for sequencing from the current state to the future
state. Further, the agency?s CIO has approved the EA and the agency has a

written policy requiring that IT investments comply with the EA.

Stage 5: Leveraging the EA for Managing Change entails evolving the products
according to a written and approved policy for EA maintenance. Also at this
stage, either the steering committee, investment review board, or agency
head approves the EA. Finally, the agency has incorporated the EA into its
corporate decisionmaking and has established and is using metrics to measure
the effectiveness of its EA.

of federal agencies? EA efforts have matured to the point that they can be
considered effective, 27 with only one agency, the Customs Service,
attaining the highest stage of maturity. This overall state of maturity is
consistent for each of the three components that make up the 116 federal
agencies that we surveyed: departments (e. g., Department of the Treasury),
department component agencies (e. g., Internal Revenue Service), and
independent agencies (e. g., Social Security Administration). (See figure

Despite this less- than- mature state of affairs, our survey revealed some
signs of progress. For example, most agencies are performing certain core
elements of our maturity framework, such as using a specific EA

framework and automated tool. Moreover, about 82 percent of those agencies
at a given maturity stage are also reportedly performing one or more core
elements associated with a higher maturity stage. Other

relevant EA management information, such as costs and benefits, was also
reported by agencies that we surveyed. Each of these areas is discussed in
greater detail below. It is extremely important that federal agencies
advance the state of their EA maturity. Without well- defined and used
architectures, agencies will likely continue the same IT investment
practices of the past, practices that have

produced nonintegrated, duplicative, and suboptimized agency operations and
supporting IT environments.

Most Agencies Are Regardless of individual agencies? maturity levels, most
agencies (75

Performing Certain Maturity percent or more) report performing certain core
elements related to stages Framework Core Elements 2 and 3 of our framework,
and thus the prospects for future improvements in the state of the federal
government?s EA maturity are promising. For

example, at least three out of four agencies are performing four core
elements related to Building the EA Management Foundation (stage 2).
Specifically, 75 percent of agencies have established a program office

responsible for EA development; 75 percent of agencies have selected an
architecture framework and an automated development and maintenance tool; 81
percent of agencies plan for their architecture products to describe the
enterprise in one or more of the following terms: business, data,
applications, or technology; and 82 percent of agencies plan their
architecture products to describe one or more of the following: the ?as is?
environment, the ?to be? environment, or the sequencing plan. Most agencies
also report performing three core elements related to

Developing Architecture Products (stage 3). Specifically, 76 percent of
agencies have scoped their EA to cover the entire enterprise; 77 percent of
agencies plan for their EA products to describe the enterprise in all of the
following terms: business, data, applications, and technology; and 77
percent of agencies plan their EA products to describe all of the following:
the ?as is? environment, the ?to be? environment, and the sequencing plan.

survey results shows that this is frequently the case. In fact, 82 percent
of agencies in stage 1 through stage 4 are performing at least one core
element above their current maturity stage. In particular, of the 56
agencies at stage 1, 35 are performing core elements that meet at least one
of the criteria in stage 2 through stage 5.

Moreover, some of these agencies need to satisfy only one additional core
element in order to advance one or more maturity stages, meaning that the
opportunity exists for some agencies to quickly advance their respective EA
maturity levels. About 46 percent of the agencies (53 out of 115) need to
satisfy only one additional core element to advance to at least the next
maturity stage. 28 Moreover, 8 of these agencies could advance two stages by

satisfying just one additional core element, and one agency, the Defense
Contract Audit Agency, could climb three stages (from stage 2 to stage 5) by
satisfying just one additional core element. About 9 percent of the agencies
(10 out of 115) need to satisfy only two core elements in order to advance
two maturity stages, and 3 percent (4 out of 115) need to satisfy three
additional core elements to advance three maturity stages. One agency, the
Defense Legal Services Agency, could advance from stage 1 to stage 5 by
satisfying only two additional core elements. As noted above, the Food and
Drug Administration and the

International Trade Administration, which are currently stage 1 agencies,
could advance to stage 5 by satisfying a total of four additional core
elements, one at each of stages 2 through 5. Departmental Leadership Of the

component agencies; 8 have not. Our analysis of the maturity level of
component agencies, using resampling methods, provides statistical evidence
that the average maturity level of component agencies in departments with an
EA policy is higher than the average maturity level of component agencies in
departments without an EA policy. Specifically, the 28 One of the 116
agencies included in our analysis has achieved stage 5 of our framework (i.
e., satisfied all the core elements).

average maturity level of the component agencies within departments that
have departmentwide policies is 1.9, while the average maturity level of the
component agencies within departments that do not have a policy is 1. 5. The
Departments of Commerce and the Treasury, for example, which both have a
departmentwide policy, have average EA maturity levels of 2.2 for their
component agencies. In contrast, no department that lacks a policy has an
average EA maturity level higher than 1.7.

Available Agency EA Cost As discussed in the CIO Council- published EA
management practical Data Show Variability

guide, the scope and nature of the enterprise and the extent of enterprise
transformation and modernization envisioned will dictate the depth and
detail of the architecture to be developed and maintained. Thus, the EA has
to be tailored to the individual enterprise and that enterprise?s intended
use of the architecture. Accordingly, the level of resources that an agency
invests in its EA is likely to vary. Our survey data showed considerable
variability among agencies in the

cost to develop and maintain EAs. For those agencies that reported having
completed an EA, the actual development costs that they reported ranged from
$70, 000 to $18.2 million. (See table 1.) In developing this range, we only
included those 14 agencies that satisfied our maturity framework?s
definition of a complete EA (i. e., the EA products describe the
enterprise?s business and the data, applications, and technology that
support it; the EA

products describe the ?as is? environment, ?to be? environment, and the plan
for sequencing from the ?as is? to the ?to be?; and the agency CIO has
approved the EA). In doing so, we did not include EA development cost data
reported by 31 other agencies because they did not satisfy our maturity
framework?s definition of a complete EA. For the 14 agencies that had
completed EAs, the annual costs reported for architecture maintenance ranged
from $30,000 to $1.5 million. (See table 1.)

For agencies that reported not having completed an EA, 32 reported the
estimated costs associated with completing one. These estimated EA
completion costs ranged from $100,000 to $25.3 million. (See table 2.)
Generally, the variability in the reported EA costs can be attributed, at
least in part, to differences in the respective agencies? size and
complexity.

multiple benefits of developing EAs, including avoiding duplication between
IT systems, promoting integration of systems, reducing systemrelated costs,
and optimizing mission performance. The agencies? responses to our survey
echoed these and offered additional benefits associated with developing and
using an EA. Specifically, the most frequently cited EA benefit was lower
system- related costs, which was

identified by 53 percent of agencies. Benefits related to enhanced
productivity and improved efficiency were cited by 49 percent of agencies,
while improved organization and change management was another frequently
identified benefit, cited by 41 percent of agencies. Improved

systems interoperability was a benefit cited by 24 percent of agencies. (See

Agencies Cite Similar EA Effectively developing, implementing, and
maintaining an EA is a Management Challenges

challenging endeavor. As discussed in the CIO Council- published EA
management practical guide, factors critical to the successful use of EAs
include obtaining top management support and commitment, ensuring that the
scope of the architecture is enterprisewide, and having the requisite
resources (financial and human capital) to get the job done.

The agencies that we surveyed affirmed these critical success factors by
identifying them as significant EA management challenges. Specifically,
about 39 percent of the agencies stated that getting top management to

understand the purpose, content, and value of these architectures was a
challenge. According to the CIO Council- published EA management guide, such
understanding is critical to architecture programs receiving executive
sponsorship. Without executive understanding and support, obtaining

sufficient funding and overcoming agency component organizations?
parochialism and cultural resistance to introducing change that attempts to
optimize the enterprise, rather than the ?stovepiped? enterprise components,
can also be a significant challenge. The agencies we surveyed agreed, with
about 50 and 39 percent reporting funding and parochialism, respectively, as
challenges. Additionally, 32 percent of the agencies surveyed reported that
obtaining skilled staff is also a challenge. (See figure 4.)

Customs Service Is a Model In 1998, we reported that the Customs Service
lacked a complete EA and

EA Management Agency the management controls to effectively enforce one, and
we made

recommendations to correct these problems. 29 Customs agreed with our
findings and recommendations, and it made addressing them a top agency
priority. In April 2000, we reported that Customs had developed a complete

EA. 30 We have since cited Customs as an example of a federal agency with an
effective architecture management program. The results of our survey and
analysis of survey responses against our maturity framework affirm Customs
as a role model agency for EA management. According to the survey results,
Customs is the only agency that has achieved stage 5 maturity, meaning that
it has satisfied all the core elements of the framework. In particular,
Customs? EA is agencywide in

scope, and it has been approved by the Customs CIO, Investment Review Board,
and commissioner. Its EA program includes a program office and an executive
steering committee responsible for EA development and

maintenance. It also includes descriptions of the agency?s ?as is? and ?to
be? environments, as well as a sequencing plan for moving from the former to
the latter. Customs has also developed qualitative and quantitative

metrics for measuring benefits derived from using its architecture. In
addition, Customs has written and approved policies and associated
management processes to ensure that IT investments are compliant with the
EA, and to ensure that it is proactively maintained.

OMB recognizes the importance of EAs and, since the 1996 passage of the
Clinger- Cohen Act, has acted to promote them. For example, OMB (1) issued
guidance on the purpose and use of enterprise architectures shortly after
the act was passed, 32 (2) issued subsequent guidance directing

that agency investment in IT be based on agency EAs, 33 and (3) beginning
with the fiscal year 2002 budget cycle, required agency budget submissions
to show IT investments in several areas, including architecture development.
34 Beginning with the fiscal year 2003 budget cycle, it also required the
departments and major agencies that are CIO Council members to address how
IT investment decisionmaking addresses

architecture alignment and, in cases in which an agency does not have an
architecture, to provide a plan for developing one. 35 In this latter case,
OMB officials told us, they are also holding meetings with agencies to
ensure that

proposed IT investments are justified until an architecture is completed 31

and integrated into the agency?s capital planning and investment control
processes. Other steps that OMB has taken are: (1) to assess the status of
major department and agency architectures against selected CIO Council
guidance; (2) to elevate the CIO Council?s level of focus and attention on

EA management by, for example, establishing an enterprise architecture
committee; and (3) to begin developing business- level architectural views
of certain governmentwide missions or functions, such as disaster
preparedness, grants and loans, and law enforcement.

OMB?s increased attention to and oversight of federal enterprise
architecture are central to advancing the federal government?s state of
architecture maturity. However, OMB?s existing oversight approach

focuses on major agencies and relies largely on unverified agency
submissions. This approach can be strengthened by using a more structured
means of measuring agency architecture status and progress, expanding the
number of agencies covered, and identifying and pursuing governmentwide
solutions to common enterprise architecture challenges that agencies face.
Without enhancing its governmentwide approach to overseeing EA use and
employing a standard that systematically specifies the core elements of
architecture management success and a practical way to measure agency
efforts against this standard over time, OMB will be challenged in leading
and attaining governmentwide maturation in this important area.

Conclusions The current state of the federal government?s use of EAs is
mixed, but overall it is not sufficiently mature to support well- informed
IT investment decisionmaking. As a result, most federal agencies currently
run the serious risk of investing in IT solutions that will not overcome but
will, rather, perpetuate longstanding incompatibilities and duplication
within agency operational and systems environments. With recently issued

federal guidance and increased OMB attention to EA management, however, the
outlook for advancement in federal agency EA maturity holds promise.
Nevertheless, opportunities exist to significantly improve this outlook by
OMB?s adopting a governmentwide, structured, and systematic approach to
promoting EA use, measuring agency progress, and identifying the need for
governmentwide EA management challenges. The EA maturity framework and the
survey results contained in this report provide OMB, possibly in
collaboration with the federal CIO Council, with the foundation for adopting
such an approach.

Recommendations for To assist in its oversight of federal agencies? use of
EAs, we recommend

Executive Action that the OMB director, in collaboration with the federal
CIO Council, use the maturity framework and agency baseline information
provided in this report as the basis for helping agencies to advance the
state of their respective EA development, implementation, and maintenance
efforts, and for measuring agency progress. In doing so, we further
recommend that the OMB director require each of the agencies discussed in
this report to

(1) submit to OMB an annual update of the agency?s satisfaction of each of
the core elements contained in the maturity framework, and (2) have this
update verified by the agency?s inspector general or comparable audit
function before it is submitted to OMB. Additionally, we recommend that the
director, in collaboration with the CIO Council, develop and implement a
plan to address governmentwide impediments to greater agency use of EAs. At
a minimum, this plan should

include the two primary challenges identified in this report- agency
executive management understanding of EAs and availability of EA human
capital expertise.

Further, we recommend that the director report annually to the Senate
Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government
Reform on the results of its annual update of the state and progress of
federal agencies EA efforts.

Agency Comments In oral comments on a draft of this report, officials from
OMB?s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, including the
Information Policy and Technology Branch chief, generally agreed with our
findings and conclusions and stated that they would consider our
recommendations. The officials also provided information on recent OMB
actions intended to advance enterprise architecture use in the federal
government. We have

incorporated this information in the report. We view these recent OMB
actions as positive steps. Nevertheless, we also believe that OMB can
improve on these actions by implementing the recommendations in this report.

Unless you publicly announce the contents of this report earlier, we plan no
further distribution of it until 30 days from the date of this letter. We
will then send copies to the OMB director. Copies will also be available at
our Web si te at www. gao. gov.

Objectives, Scope, and Methodology Our objectives were to determine (1) the
status of federal agencies? efforts to develop, implement, and maintain EAs,
and (2) OMB?s actions to oversee these efforts.

To address our objectives, we obtained and reviewed relevant guidance on
EAs, such as OMB Memorandum 97- 16 (now rescinded), entitled

Information Technology Architecture; OMB Circular A- 130, entitled

Management of Federal Information Resources; and federal CIO Council-
published guidance, including the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework
Version 1.1 and A Practical Guide to Federal Enterprise

Architecture. We also researched past GAO reports and guidance on management
and use of enterprise architectures, and identified and reviewed relevant
private- sector research on EA frameworks and management, as well as federal
agencies? EA frameworks, including the

Treasury Enterprise Architecture Framework and the Department of Defense?s
Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and
Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Architecture Framework.

Next, we used the CIO Council- published practical guide to develop a series
of questions to determine the extent to which an agency was meeting the core
elements of the guide, and to determine agencies? experiences in pursuing
their respective EA efforts. We then incorporated these questions into two
data- collection instruments- one for federal departments (see appendix VI)
and one for agencies that were either components within a

department or independent agencies (see appendix VII). We pre- tested our
survey instrument at one federal department and one component agency.

Prior to distributing the survey instruments, we identified 116 executive
branch federal agencies to include in our survey population. These agencies
consisted of all cabinet- level departments and agencies, major component
agencies or bureaus within departments, and other

independent agencies. To identify the 116 agencies, we reviewed federal
departments? organizational charts and other information, such as component
agency fiscal year 2002 budget requests. We limited the selected agencies to
those identified in the United States Government Manual and the Budget of
the United States Government (Fiscal Year 2002) as having budget requests in
excess of $100 million. The 116 agencies

are identified in appendix II. For each agency to be surveyed, we identified
the CIO or comparable official and notified each of our work and distributed
the appropriate survey instrument to each via e- mail. In addition, we
discussed the purpose

and content of the survey instrument with agency officials when requested.
All 116 agencies responded to our survey. Also, timing of agency responses
varied, ranging from June 2001 to October 2001, and thus the determinations
in this report regarding the state of EA maturity at specific agencies and
groups of agencies are linked to particular points in time. Appendix III,
appendix IV, and appendix V, which contain the results of our analysis of
each agency?s response to our survey, identify the date that each agency
responded. We did not verify the accuracy of the data that the agencies
reported or the effectiveness of any agency?s efforts that satisfied an EA
core element. However, we did contact agency officials when necessary to
clarify their responses.

Next, we developed an EA management maturity framework to use in analyzing
agency responses to our survey instrument. To do so, we categorized each
core element of the CIO Council- published practical guide for EA
management, which formed much of the content of our survey instrument, into
a series of five related and hierarchical stages. In developing this
hierarchy, we drew upon the core elements? implicit dependencies and
sequence of presentation as presented in the guide. We also categorized
these core elements into those attributes associated with

effectively discharging any management function- namely, elements that
demonstrate organizational commitment, such as policies and approvals;
elements that provide the capability to satisfy the commitment, such as

assignment of organizational roles and responsibilities; elements that
demonstrate satisfaction of the commitment, such as EA plans and products;
and elements that verify satisfaction of the commitment, such as
measurements. We validated our framework with CIO Council and GAO officials
who were the principal authors of the CIO Council- published practical guide
on which the framework is based.

We then analyzed agency responses against the maturity framework?s core
elements to determine whether the element was satisfied. In conducting this
analysis, we considered all agency responses related to a given core element
of the framework. For example, if an agency reported that it had developed
an EA, we reviewed responses to other survey questions to determine whether
the EA had included requisite components for a complete architecture, such
as the target architecture and sequencing plans for transitioning to the
target environment. In instances in which agencies reported that their EAs
did not include major components or did not meet the core element as defined
in the framework, we placed the agencies? efforts relating to that core
element at the next lowest stage of framework maturity.

After compiling agency responses and determining agencies? respective
maturity stages, we analyzed responses across different slices of our agency
population to determine patterns and issues. Finally, we reviewed

OMB efforts to oversee federal agency EA development, including analyzing
relevant policy guidance and interviewing OMB officials about ongoing and
planned management actions.

We conducted our work at the 116 identified federal agencies headquarters
offices in Washington, D. C., and Arlington, Virginia, from May 2001 through
December 2001, in accordance with generally accepted government auditing
standards.
