How the National Enterprise Architecture Methodology handles indicators: tying them to strategic objectives, measuring capability maturity, and tracking what the roadmap actually delivers on the ground.
| Where | Role of the Indicator |
|---|---|
| Strategic Alignment Domain | Indicators are a core component alongside goals, initiatives, and projects. The Strategic Alignment principle ties business architecture components to those indicators so the work stays aligned with the entity’s targets. |
| Current-State Diagnosis | The team reviews the entity’s current targets and the latest readings for indicators tied to business, digital-transformation, or cybersecurity strategies, then builds the recommendations on what it finds. |
| Future-State Design | Objectives are paired with measurable performance indicators, and a target maturity level is set for the capabilities in each domain. |
| Roadmap & Requirements Management | Every initiative and project is mapped to the strategic indicators it serves, and delivery is tracked through periodic reports and dashboards. |
| Data Architecture | Business targets and performance indicators are wired to the right data entities so reports come from one trusted source. |
| Security Architecture | Security performance indicators measure how well the controls work: Mean Time To Detect (MTTD), Mean Time To Respond (MTTR), incident trends, and compliance status. |
Level 1: The business capability is neither documented nor followed in any consistent way inside the entity.
Level 2: Capabilities are documented and followed most of the time, but the outputs and execution evidence are not yet documented.
Level 3: Capabilities are documented, followed, and their execution outputs are documented too.
Level 4: Everything above, plus documented evidence of the capability actually being executed.
Level 5: The top of the scale. The capability is documented, followed, has execution evidence, and carries indicators and targets that are measured and improved on an ongoing basis.
The Strategic Alignment domain documented end to end: goals, indicators, initiatives, and projects, each tied to the business architecture components they belong to.
A central application for producing and managing business reports and dashboards, with the Standard Reporting & KPIs Capabilities inside the business applications themselves taken into account.
Business targets and performance indicators wired to the right data entities in the data architecture.
Performance indicators for the roadmap itself, so initiative delivery can be tracked for both efficiency and effect.
