In the fast-paced world of IT, systems are becoming increasingly complex, and misalignment between business needs and technology is one of the most common causes of project failure.
The solution?
Understanding and embracing the concept of the ICMG Enterprise Anatomy (Project Edition) as the foundation for creating one unified anatomy for every project and product. This revolutionary framework ensures alignment, scalability, and long-term success by integrating strategy, processes, systems, components, implementation, and operations into one cohesive structure.
The ICMG Enterprise Anatomy: A Unified Framework
Just as every human body has a singular anatomy that integrates all systems—from the circulatory to the nervous—the ICMG Enterprise Anatomy provides a structured framework for projects and products.
The ICMG Enterprise Anatomy Model introduces the revolutionary idea of "One Anatomy for Every Project and Product."
It states that the same building blocks—Goals, Processes, Systems, Components, Implementation, and Operations—apply universally across all projects and products, ensuring alignment at every level.
This framework is built on six perspectives:
Project Goals/Strategy Perspective: Aligning the project’s objectives with organizational goals.
Business/Process Perspective: Defining workflows and processes that support strategic objectives.
System/Models Perspective: Creating system models that facilitate the defined processes.
Technology/Components Perspective: Specifying the technical components that support the systems.
Implementation Perspective: Developing a practical roadmap for implementing and configuring the components, systems, and processes.
Operations Perspective: Establishing operational models to ensure long-term success and adaptability.
When these six perspectives are integrated into a single anatomy, projects become aligned, scalable, and adaptable to evolving business needs.
