From the perspective of the One- EA, at Milestone I PMs are expected to focus on the information relevant to their project in row 2 of the One EA Zachman Framework. This information is described in Chapter 4 of version 2.1 of the One Enterprise Architecture. Chapter 4 defines the functionally of information systems in terms of their target processes, functions and sub functions, data, and their integration points with other information systems both inside and outside the enterprise.

Projects that will involve organizational telecommunications and operations infrastructure should consider the following questions leading up to Milestone I:

Network Capacity Planning:

▲    What type of transactions types will the project use:

■        Interactive?

■        File transfer?

■        HTTP?

▲    What are the project’s data network traffic characteristics per transaction type:

■        Traffic volumes and transmission rates?
