The program plan lists the two primary functions (Enterprise Architecture and Governance) at the top of

At the center, the plan shows specific projects and goals for each quarter of the calendar year. The projects

group; host an EA user summit; migrate data to TEAMS; complete a CGEA Communications Plan; revise
the C4&IT governance policy; and expand the TEAMS tool set. Ongoing activities for CY 2008 include

Underneath the timeline, the plan shows proposed CGEA products such as a C4&IT Strategic Plan;
