SOA, I could just K.I.S.S you! - Part 5

Welcome back. If you missed the first four parts of this series, please follow the links below to start at the beginning.

Step 1 - Stake in the Ground

Step 2 - Education

Step 3 - Organizational Governance

Step 4 – Evaluate Your Infrastructure

Step 5 - Pilot Project

What more can one say about pilot projects. If you do a search right now for SOA Pilot Projects, you will find somewhere in the vicinity of 300 results, one of which is an article co-authored by MomentumSI's own Alex Rosen.

So to save time (mine) I will simply concede that there is not much more information I can add on this topic. I will therefore leave it at this:

1) DO A PILOT PROJECT!!!

2) Learn from said pilot project

3) Roll those lessons into your overall plan (if you need more infrastructure, now you at least have some data)

4) Finally, tackle another project only this time, do it better.

I'll close this wonderfully short entry by passing along some great advice I once read:

Lather, Rinse, Repeat... Ah the simplicity....
