EA Reports and Outputs

The National Enterprise Architecture Methodology calls for a defined set of reports and documents produced across the development cycle and the requirements management work. This page lists the outputs the methodology names directly, without adding report lists it does not call for.

Overview

  • 7Stages Producing Outputs
  • 6Domains Covered per Report
  • 8States per Requirement
  • Where this page sits: the periodic reports the practice produces (status, gap analysis, roadmap, requirements log, and others).
  • Each of the seven stages produces a document or report that feeds the next stage and updates the requirements register.
  • The outputs include: development cycle charter, current-state documentation, future-state documentation, gap report, roadmap, and requirements register.
  • Exception decisions are captured in the temporary exemptions record produced by the procedure for Managing Temporary Exemptions for Non-Compliance with Defined Standards.

Outputs of the Seven Stages

StagePrimary OutputContent
Stage 1EA Development Cycle CharterScope, domains, viewpoints, levels of detail, stakeholders, and timeline.
Stage 2Current-State EA DocumentationComponents of each of the six domains, current viewpoints, and a strengths and weaknesses analysis.
Stage 3Future Trends DocumentBenchmark experiences, global standards, and national requirements that influence each domain.
Stage 4Future-State EA DocumentationThe future vision for the components, the approved viewpoints, and the cross-domain alignment.
Stage 5EA Gap Analysis ReportThe gaps between the current and future states, an estimate of their impact, and the proposed solutions.
Stage 6Roadmap to Achieve the ObjectivesList of initiatives and projects, their priorities, capital and operational costs, and the quick wins.
Stage 7EA Requirements RegisterApproved requirements with their eight fields, their eight states, and the impact of incoming changes on them.

Records That Span the Cycle

Records Maintained by the EA Team
1

EA Requirements Register: a central reference holding every requirement with its code, text, source, domain, affected domains, related requirements, state, and priority.

2

Temporary Exemptions Record: captures every exception or exemption granted under the procedure for Managing Temporary Exemptions for Non-Compliance with Defined Standards, with the justification and the validity scope.

3

Requirements Change Log: records change requests, their reasons, and the team decisions on the development cycle scope: keep, adjust, or halt.

4

Output Approval Minutes: a record of approving each output between stages, following the governance model and the responsibilities matrix roles.

Reference Note

This list follows the outputs that the National Enterprise Architecture Methodology, issued by the Digital Government Authority under NORA, calls for. Entities can add their own internal operational reports, as long as these official outputs remain the basis for governance and follow-up.
