During his presentation, Jim Johnson shares the results of a research study on the top 10 drivers that are influencing decisions on how IT implements SOA. These drivers are increased business agility, business process modeling, fear/fashion/peer pressure, staff coercion, investment reuse, readiness assurance, architecture flexibility/scaling, regulatory compliance, security promise and vendor hype. For each of the 10 drivers, Jim describes the underlying survey analysis; pointing out related statistics and considerations around investment, risk, yield, project scoping, resourcing and success and failure rates. Citing The Standish Group's "10 Laws of Chaos," Jim provides insight on how to proactively recognize and prevent situations that typically cause projects to fail. Such as, "The Law of the Empty Chair," which states your best possible person will leave at the worst possible time. Throughout the presentation, Jim shares how applying pipelining techniques - micro-project stacks, portfolio baselines and resource pools - can increase an organization's SOA project success rate.
