Berlin 2017: Proceedings - IT4IT Forum

IT4IT™ Forum Members' Meetings

Objective of Meeting

The objective of the Berlin event for the IT4IT Forum was to support face-to-face working sessions for the many new Work Groups that were kicked off in January 2017 at The Open Group San Francisco event after the new version of the IT4IT standard (Version 2.1) was released. These Work Groups are developing content for new guidance documents and the next version of the IT4IT Value Chain and Reference Architecture standard.

Summary

The IT4IT Forum leadership chaired a public session to communicate the state of the IT4IT Forum to members and event attendees. (See the Plenary report.)

This session was followed by three half days of IT4IT Forum members-only meetings from April 24 to 26 in which IT4IT Forum Work Group leaders hosted working sessions for each IT4IT technical, business, and cross-Forum Work Group. The following Work Groups met in Berlin:

  • Adoption
  • Business Value of the IT4IT Reference Architecture
  • Vertical Service Model
  • Supporting Activities/GRC
  • Intelligence & Reporting/KPIs
  • Interoperability & Tool Certification
  • IT4IT+TOGAF®+ArchiMate® Harmonization

In addition, a special session was held to explore opening a new Work Group to advance new content for the IT4IT Strategy to Portfolio value stream.
