Strategic goals and business requirements should drive Information Technology (IT) solutions. The unit examines how Enterprise Architecture (EA) and enterprise modelling contributes to this alignment. Enterprise architecture is about understanding all of the different people, processes, business and technology elements that go to make up the enterprise and how those elements interrelate. The unit emphasises the importance of planning and managing IT from an architectural perspective and highlights how an agile systems architecture can more effectively support changes in business strategy. Students examine selected common EA frameworks and documentation so they can use modelling techniques that support strategy and business-driven views of the enterprise. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is introduced and developed as an approach to encourage business agility. Students will demonstrate mastery of knowledge in information technology, e-business and sustainability, necessary to make decisions in process change management systems. The Australian Computer Society (ACS) has adopted the skills framework for the information age (SFIA) and have created a Core Body of Knowledge (CBOK) to identify IT capabilities and knowledge. These frameworks have been used to inform the learning outcomes of this unit. The unit meets SFIA learning outcomes in the following: IT management, - Business analysis. The unit is aligned with the ACS CBOK in the following. Assessed in assignments: Problem Solving (Abstraction, Design); Technology Resources (Hardware and Software Fundamentals, Data and Information management); Technology Building (Programming, HCI, Systems Development, Systems Acquisition); Professional Knowledge (History and Status); Technology Resources (Hardware and Software Fundamentals, Data and Information management); Technology Building (Systems Acquisition); Services Management (Service Management, Security Management); Outcomes Management (IT Governance).
Must complete MAN6910 Business Process Management
Unit was previously coded MAN6930, MIS5707
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
On-campus students attend a three hour weekly session consisting of a two-hour lecture with demonstrations, and a one-hour laboratory session. The laboratory sessions will introduce a number of enterprise modelling techniques. Industry leading business modelling tools will be used to demonstrate various modelling techniques. The material for this unit will be supplemented with regular industry speakers. Off campus students will access this modular information via Blackboard and use the appropriate software for modelling. Regular online access is required.
