Building EA Unit Tasks

DGA guideline for building the tasks of the organisational unit that activates EA practice.

In Brief

  • Unit tasks are the work assigned to the team to support the practice in line with strategic directions and stakeholder expectations.
  • Tasks are split into core (main activities linked to practice objectives) and supporting (activities that enable delivery of core tasks).
  • Inputs: EA strategic directions and the entity's organisational structure and task manual. Output: list and details of EA practice tasks.

Strategic linkDirectly linked to strategic objectivesIndirectly supports through enabling core tasks

Steps to Follow

  1. Analyse the entity's organisational structure

    Review the current task manual and identify tasks related to EA domains (business, experience, applications, data, technology, security).

  2. Align with strategic directions

    Tasks must support the strategic directions defined in the EA strategy.

  3. Classify tasks by nature

    Classify each task as core or supporting based on its link to strategic objectives.

  4. Develop EA practice tasks

    Prepare a list of specific tasks and their details to define the role of the practice.

Developing EA unit tasks requires review and approval by the entity's HR unit and related organisational units.

Why Defining Tasks Matters

Defining the role and scope of EA practice from an organisational perspective ensures all efforts align with tasks assigned to other units, and supports effective planning and resource allocation.
The Digital Government Authority (DGA) issues the guideline for building EA unit tasks (version 1.0, 2024) under NORA.
