Enterprise Models & Methodologies

The following is a listing of Type 1, 2, and 3 Enterprise Models and Methodologies. It is difficult to distinguish between Models that have associated Methodologies, and Methodologies which are based on a conceptual model. Therefore, we will include both Methodologies and Models in the following section.

Note: We are completing an analysis of the following Models and Methodologies, and showing how each is related to the PERA GERAM. We hope that this will clear up a lot of confusion about what methodologies to use when.

The project phase (or phases) for application of each methodology is indicated on a small PERA "wind-chime" in the upper right-hand corner. Also indicated is which enterprise conponent it best relates to (i.e. Facilities, People, or Control and Info Systems).
