SOA Governance is an application of IT Governance specifically focused on the lifecycle of services, metadata, and composite applications in an organization’s Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA Governance requires both a services development and runtime perspective and provides a framework for managing services as an IT asset, including:

  • Enhancements to IT processes to address funding, sharing, and incentives for sharing, and reuse of services, as well as for the identification, design and specification of services
  • Infrastructure enhancements for security, monitoring, performance, versioning, and shared usage
  • Implementation of disciplined procedures for the use of the registry/repository and other tools in services development, deployment, and management
  • Redefinition of roles and responsibilities, including education and training for both IT and business roles
  • Organizational change is one of the key elements in a successful SOA Governance program, re-structuring organizational relationships among IT professionals and, more importantly, between IT organizations and business units.
