SOA Governance is not a single activity, but a set of components that are all important to consider in governing an SOA.
SOA Governance includes a number of key components:
- Organizational Change – creating the culture and organization to support moving to SOA
- Service Lifecycle Management – model, assemble, deploy and manage service
- Enforcement – making sure the service policies are being followed
- Quality – creating an end-to-end process for developing and deploying high quality services
- Policy – establishing and managing the rules associated with services
- Security – who is allowed to own, access and update services
Service Lifecycle Management:
The operational aspects of creating and managing services from initial proposal through retirement, through model, assemble, deploy and manage.
- Model - Create, document and prioritize business requirements:
- Assemble - Define, approve & monitor
- Deploy - Evaluate & execute functional & performance test cases
- Manage - Monitor and report on services
