Service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance enables organizations to realize the full potential of SOA.

The end result is a project plan to create your organization's unique governance framework.

Using IBM Rational Method Composer, you can scope your project to amend existing IT processes and add new IT processes to provide proper governance of the capabilities introduced with SOA.
