Foundry Program overview(Foundry 项目概述)

The Foundry Program team

A Foundry Program team is a centralized set of business and technical stakeholders within an organization that is accountable for the Foundry program’s success. Think of the Foundry Program team as a startup within your organization; a central hub empowered to drive decision-making and execution in the interest of continued growth for your organization’s Foundry platform. Establishing a Foundry Program team delivers the following benefits:

  • Enable structured, scalable, and maximized growth through parallel use case implementations.
  • Centralize responsibility for the success of Foundry as a tool for your organization.
  • Allow for cross-project decision-making while still promoting self-service data and federated project implementations.
  • Provide key contacts, clear owners, and a mechanism for delivering cohesive narratives to leadership and the rest of the organization.
  • Create a vehicle for implementing innovative ideas on the path to holistic digital transformation.

For an organization to transition to full autonomy on the Foundry platform, teams should take ownership of the following areas of Foundry administration and development activities:

Data management

  • Permissions management and access request flow
  • Data ingestion
  • Pipeline monitoring and management
  • Data health management

Ontology and technology management

  • Ontology change management
  • Compute management
  • Project resource allocation management
  • Code optimization
  • System architecture
  • Third-party integration management

Program management

  • Use case intake
  • Scoping and prioritization
  • User cultivation and training

Use case development

  • End-to-end implementation of scoped use cases, including data and model integration
  • Ontology development
  • Application design and release

Foundry Program governance

Program governance establishes structures and processes that help drive development efforts, define strategic goals, monitor progress and success, and maintain communication lines across business domains as well as internally to the Foundry Program team. Governance defines how your Program team will work together and with stakeholders business domains to achieve your organization’s goals.

Establish governance and processes

  • Identify your organization’s executive and senior stakeholders, and make sure their needs and goals in terms of program success and their own involvement in it are met. What do they want to know? What do they need to know? When/how frequently do they need to know it?
  • For each process item, establish clear owners and decision makers. This will avoid distribution of responsibility, which can create confusion that slows down organization activity. Busy owners can delegate and develop teams under them if needed as programs grow, but processes without clear ownership will rarely succeed at scale.
  • Establish relationships and feedback loops with Domain Leads and users across relevant business areas. The Program team should be focused on scoping out what users and organizations need built and how to solve their toughest problems. Additionally, you need to understand how to communicate what is being delivered and how they will communicate with you when they need changes or develop new requirements.

Foundry 项目概述

Foundry 项目团队

Foundry 项目团队(Foundry Program team)是组织内部一个由业务和技术利益相关者组成的核心团队,负责确保 Foundry 项目的成功。可以将 Foundry 项目团队视为组织内部的一个初创企业——一个能够推动决策和执行的中央枢纽,致力于促进组织 Foundry 平台的持续发展。建立 Foundry 项目团队可带来以下优势:

  • 通过并行用例实施,实现结构化、可扩展且最大化的增长。
  • 集中承担 Foundry 作为组织工具的成功责任。
  • 在促进自助式数据和联邦式项目实施的同时,支持跨项目决策。
  • 提供关键联系人、明确负责人,以及向领导层和整个组织传递统一信息的机制。
  • 为在全面数字化转型道路上实施创新想法创造载体。

为使组织能够在 Foundry 平台上实现完全自主运营,各团队应负责以下 Foundry 管理和开发活动领域:

数据管理

  • 权限管理与访问请求流程
  • 数据接入
  • 管道监控与管理
  • 数据健康管理

本体与技术管理

  • 本体变更管理
  • 计算管理
  • 项目资源分配管理
  • 代码优化
  • 系统架构
  • 第三方集成管理

项目管理

  • 用例接收
  • 范围界定与优先级排序
  • 用户培养与培训

用例开发

  • 已界定用例的端到端实施,包括数据和模型集成
  • 本体开发
  • 应用设计与发布

Foundry 项目治理

项目治理(Program governance)建立有助于推动开发工作、定义战略目标、监控进展与成功,并在业务领域之间以及 Foundry 项目团队内部保持沟通渠道的结构和流程。治理定义了项目团队如何协作,以及如何与业务领域的利益相关者合作,以实现组织的目标。

建立治理与流程

  • 确定组织的高管和高级利益相关者,确保他们在项目成功及自身参与方面的需求和目标得到满足。他们想了解什么?他们需要了解什么?他们需要在何时/以何种频率了解这些信息?
  • 为每个流程项目确立明确的负责人和决策者。这将避免责任分散,因为责任分散可能造成混乱,从而拖慢组织活动。随着项目发展,忙碌的负责人可以授权并培养下属团队,但缺乏明确所有权的流程很难在规模化后取得成功。
  • 与相关业务领域的领域负责人(Domain Leads)和用户建立关系及反馈循环。项目团队应专注于确定用户和组织需要构建什么,以及如何解决他们最棘手的问题。此外,您还需要了解如何传达正在交付的内容,以及当用户需要变更或提出新需求时,他们将如何与您沟通。
