Federal Segment Architecture Methodology
 Issued By: AIC - Effective Date: 12.09.2008, 2.477K, pdf
Abstract: On behalf of the Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC), we are pleased to announce the completion and release of the Federal Segment Architecture Methodology v1.0. In January 2008, the Federal Segment Architecture Working Group (FSAWG) was formed as a sub-team of the Federal CIO Council’s Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC). The FSAWG consists of federal agency architects who volunteered to leverage existing enterprise architecture (EA) best practices to develop a standard methodology for creating and using segment architectures. The FSAWG developed the Federal Segment Architecture Methodology (FSAM), a step-by-step process that includes best practices from across the federal EA community. The FSAM features easy-to-use templates that expedite architecture development and maximize architecture use. The FSAM includes step by step guidance based on business-driven, results-oriented architecture. Here you will find the FSAM guidance documents in advance of the more formal FSAM web site, which will include an online toolkit with analytical techniques and training materials.
