Good stuff.

The article also implies that SOA is just about ways to "quickly create 
services, test services, deploy and manage the same in production." Nary a 
mention of step one: define an architecture. Then manage (or "govern" if one 
prefers that term) work efforts to that definition allowing for ways to change 
the definition as well.
