Welcome to GTRA

While there is no arguing that effective EA should promote increased organizational agility, EA programs themselves are often not that agile, which makes it hard to adjust to rapidly changing priorities.  To respond to this need, HHS has crated an approach called the Rapid Segment Architecture Methodology (RSAM), which leverages the Federal Segment Architecture Methodology (FSAM), but tailors it to shorter timeframes and a limited set of artifacts defined by the issue at hand. Rapid Segment Architecture Methodology has been used by HHS in support of a number of recent requirements including ARRA, the Open Government Directive, and Health Reform.  This session will educate attendees on this new approach to EA, as well as discuss how it aligns with GAOs revised EA framework.

• Understand/describe the relationship between the HHS Rapid Segment Architecture Methodology (RSAM) and the FSAM
• Identify situations in which the RSAM approach is a good fit
• Discuss alignment of the RSAM approach with EA maturity frameworks
