SOA Industry Analysis Report
In early March I ran a 75 minute workshop at the annual Architect Insight conference run by Microsoft in the UK. I introduced the concepts of SOA Adoption Roadmap and worked with the delegates to develop a high level assessment of their current maturity. This article provides a brief introduction to SOA Roadmap and Maturity concepts and documents the results from the workshop assessment session. |
| Backgrounder: |
This was the second time Microsoft has held their annual architect’s “get together” in Wales. For those readers not familiar with European geography, Wales is the small bit sticking out on the left hand side of the United Kingdom - and it always seems to be raining there.
This year Microsoft introduced a number of workshop sessions to complement the tutorials and these were specifically planned to produce some concrete output. In my workshop session I introduced the concepts of SOA Roadmap and Maturity Models and then I walked through a relatively high level Capability Maturity Model, explaining the primary capabilities required at increasing levels of maturity by stream with the delegates commenting on their current status and concurrently recording their own assessment of their maturity. At the end of the session I collected the individual assessments and committed to provide an analysis of the results, which I hope provides an interesting benchmark.
This report therefore summarizes the introductory remarks and presents the aggregate results of the delegates’ assessments. |
