I've yet to see any organization blame lack of SOA progress on governance, except possibly the lack of it.
Given my own definition of governance as the people, policies, and process to ensure a desired behavior, the most frequent problem I see is that no one has bothered to define the desired behavior. In the case of SOA, no desired behavior for SOA equals a lack of clarity on what SOA is and likely what a service is, as others have said. To comment on Gervas' followup, I do not think that we need full clarity in discussion groups like this, since a term like service (and application for that matter) is vague. In an environment where we need direction rather than discussion, like an organization, clarity is much more important. -tb Todd Biske http://www.biske.com/blog/ Sent from my iPhone On Jul 17, 2008, at 11:49 AM, "jeffrschneider" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > > Is governance killing SOA? > > > > Thanks, > Jeff Schneider > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Yahoo!
