SOA Governance

The SOA Working Group contributes to the Open Group mission of Boundaryless Information Flow, by developing and fostering common understanding of SOA in order to facilitate alignment between the business and information technology communities. The SOA Governance project will provide part of that contribution in the following specific ways. It will:

• Develop a common definition of SOA Governance, including distinguishing between overall IT Governance and SOA Governance
• Define reusable processes and structures for SOA Governance
• Describe the relationship between IT to business governance and technical IT governance
• Define a SOA Governance Reference Model

Better understanding of governance around SOA will facilitate SOA adoption.
