This guidebook will help the staff members of education agencies gain an understanding of what Education Enterprise Architecture (EEA) is and how it can help an agency accomplish its vision and goals. The audiences for this guidebook include agency staff already charged with leading agency-wide planning and implementation that encompasses the program side as well as data and technology elements. It may also be used by Chief information officers (CIOs) and agency chief executive officers (CEOs). Program staff can read this guidebook to learn about EEA fundamentals and the importance of their roles in defining the business goals, strategies and processes that determine the data and technology requirements. Section 1 describes the components and processes necessary to develop and implement an EEA blueprint. Section 2 examines how an agency would go about establishing a foundation for an EEA implementation. It explains the four "architectures" that are components of EEA. It then considers establishing a vision and architecture principles to guide EEA implementation and define its scope. This is followed by a more detailed look at the steps of the process, including documenting the current and future states, conducting a gap analysis and devising the implementation plan. Lastly, the section considers several forms of governance for EEA. Section 3 walks through one example of a segment architecture approach to EEA, beginning with determining scope, creating a project plan, and documenting current and future states.
