A comprehensive enterprise architecture management has strategic and operative aspects. Strategic tasks cover the identification of appropriate fields of activity for information technology (IT) investments in accordance with business strategy and portfolio management. Enterprise architecture management is cross-linked with other IT management processes and delivers the necessary information for a sustainable governance. The continuous analysis of the IT landscape, the deduction of measures for optimization and its controlling also belong to the tasks of architecture management. Standards for development and infrastructures are made, e.g. reference architectures and a “book of standards”, whose implementation is overseen by solution architects throughout the operative architecture management.

Enterprise architecture (EA) is a description of an enterprise from an integrated business and IT perspective. Enterprise architecture management (EAM) is a management practice embracing all the management processes related to EA aiming to improve business and IT alignment. EAM is typically described as a sequential four-step process: (i) document the current state, (ii) describe the desired future state, (iii) develop the transition plan and (iv) implement the plan. This traditional four-step approach to EAM essentially defines the modern understanding of EA. Based on a literature review, this paper demonstrates that this four-step approach to EAM, though practiced by some companies, is inadequate as a model explaining the EAM phenomenon in general. As a substitute, this paper synthesizes the generic conceptual model of EAM providing a more realistic conceptualization of EAM describing it as a decentralized network of independent but interacting processes, artifacts and actors.

Abstract  - IT Governance and the development of appropriate information technology, aligned with business strategy and in accordance with the target is a priority, but often development projects are not expected to match the even, there are many information technology development project  failure or canceled  in the middle of the road. That's because information technology governance and IT investment planning are not good. It is necessary to analysis  IT  governenace and  planning of  IT investment. The selected sample is PT. Candi Malindo Bangkit with five (5) respondents involved. Tools in this study using the COBIT  framework  for data  and  opinions about IT governance and Val IT  for  IT  investment  planning. The  selected  domain from the COBIT  framework are  DS4 (continuous service),  DS5 (information system security) and  DS11 (data management), and  the domain of Val IT are Value Governance (VG), Portfolio Management (PM) and Investment Management (IM) . Then based  on  the analysis can be known maturity level of IT governance and IT investment  planning. The analysis shows  that  the current  PT. Candi Malindo Bangkit still at maturity level 1 (one) or at the level of the initial/Adhoc which means IT governance and IT investment planning has been no standardization  process, yet organized  and  implemented  based  on  the  needs  of  a  sudden.Keywords: Audit, IT  Governance,  COBIT,  Val IT

Information Technology Portfolio Management (ITPM) is a topic of intense interest in the strategic management of IT. In ITPM, IT synchronization with corporate business strategy is operationalized by the application of the principles of financial portfolio management to IT investments. This perspective is crucial to the continual alignment of business strategy and IT investments. Portfolio management is the discipline of managing projects together as a portfolio that meets stated corporate goals and objectives (Combe & Githens, 1999). It facilitates the optimization of resource allocation and development investment across multiple projects. This chapter investigates current techniques and issues for managing IT project portfolios and aligning those portfolios with the strategy of the business. The models and concepts presented are regarded as a starting point for dialogue and further research among IT project researchers and practitioners.

Abstract — Enterprise architecture design in organizations is one way to find out the information technology used by organizations today, especially in PT. Manufaktur Rak Gondola. PT. Manufaktur Rak Gondola uses the TOGAF 9.1 framework in designing the organization's corporate architecture. Enterprise architecture management analysis aims to ensure that all components that support the process are running well, are identified and functioning properly. The analysis carried out at the same time as the enterprise architecture design process, it will improve the quality of the resulting enterprise architecture design. The results of the analysis can be used as recommendations for adequate control in the running process. The design process that has been carried out, was analyzed using COBIT 5, APO03.01, and APO03.02. The analysis was carried out to ensure compatibility of the TOGAF framework with the controls found in COBIT 5.   Keywords— APO03.01, APO03.02, COBIT 5, Enterprise architecture, TOGAF 9.1
