Impact of Change Analysis
Based on information planning or innovation proposals and depending on the maturity of the request for change and the architecture and design continua an Impact of Change Analysis is performed.
Problems and Solutions
Normally an Impact of Change Analysis (ICA) is performed based on the tiresome function point analysis technique or techniques similar to that for agile projects. This ICA is also limited to software development. Within the Enterprise Architects approach the impact can sometime be retrieved by a single query (if this legislation changes what components are affected? Etc.), Next the impact can be calculated based on earlier experiences of projects. Thus, not only the impact to applications and information systems are under control, but the complete set of components.
