Roadmap: Enablement
Create and prepare the organizations in the enterprise to apply asset management.
Main Description

The artifacts that were created in the Planning phase are used as part of preparing the organizations to apply asset management. In particular the following artifacts are used during the Enablement phase:

  • Reuse Assessment
  • Reuse Strategy
  • Reuse Adoption and Incentive Plan
  • Resources and Training Plan

Enabling the enterprise top-down is certainly one approach. In this approach the Asset Governance Board is created, then the Asset Manufacturing Team(s), and then the Asset Usage Teams. However, in many cases the enterprise has been practicing informal reuse activities, where developers and others have been reusing artifacts which other teams or individuals have created.

In many cases the enterprise will be enabled more formally in parallel, iteratively. Many organizations need to have a formal Asset Governance Board created.
