The History and Governance Subcommittee is tasked with writing two chapters — one on the historical background of the TLA and the decisions made and lessons learned along the way and the other on the recommended governance of TLA implementations.
Draft Chapters
The Total Learning Architecture History and Governance Subcommittee
This subcommittee is tasked with writing two related and interconnected chapters of the TLA Study Group report. The first is on the history of the TLA and will come at the beginning of the report. The second is on the governance of TLA implementations and will come at the end of the report.
It is our job on the History side to present the historical chronology of events and ways-of-thinking that evolved as the TLA came together into the instantiation of the EDLM and other enterprise reference models.
It is our job on the Governance side to discuss the practical matters of implementation including
Privacy, identity management, data retention policies, and security
Technical debt
DevSecOps protocol
Federated infrastructure and database management baselines
Validation software necessary in order to implement such an instantiation
Necessary policy implications for a government or other large enterprise
Certification of software for validation
Challenge of evolving operations in terms of things like competencies
Legacy-to-modern: software and process and ways-of-thinking
