Abstract
Inspired by developed economies, many developing economies are
adopting an enterprise architecture approach to e-government implementation in
order to overcome challenges of e-government interoperability. However, when
developing an enterprise architecture for a complex enterprise such as the egovernment
enterprise, there is need to rationally specify scope dimensions.
Addressing this requires guidance from e-government maturity models that
provide insights into phasing e-government implementations; and enterprise
architecture approaches that provide general insight into key dimensions for
scoping enterprise architecture efforts. Although such insights exist, there is
hardly detailed guidance on scoping initiatives associated with developing an egovernment
enterprise architecture. Yet the success of such business-IT alignment
initiatives is often affected by scope issues. Thus, this paper presents an
intertwined procedure that draws insights from e-government maturity models
and enterprise architecture frameworks to specify critical aspects in scoping egovernment
enterprise architecture development efforts. The procedure was
validated using a field demo conducted in a Uganda public entity.
