Service-oriented Architecture - Personal Management Thoughts - a Soa P Opera H. Howell-barber

Inside the heads of senior and middle managers (and their relatives and friends) who could save, use, or lose $(000,000,000)s on SOA projects. The premise is that personal issues may override excellent SOA management, organizational, and technology skills, destroy an SOA Program, and contribute to the loss of millions of dollars. "SOA P" focuses on the effects that SOA will have on people. It contains serious SOA discussions interspersed with raw emotions, power, politics, money, and passion in an outrageous attempt to get you to pay attention to the personal issues that are important to SOA. SOA is different because it will cut a wider swath through both BUSINESS and TECHNOLOGY. This book contains: 1. Over 60 illustrations and tables 2. SOA strategy recommendations 3. Overviews of SOA planning and communications 4. An SOA Program Methodology (WFSOA) 5. An SOA maturity assessment 6. SOA role descriptions with comments from incumbents 7. SOA lessons learned and resistance factors
