GB1011 Transformation Project Framework (TPF) v1.0.0

The Transformation Project Framework (TPF) addresses a need from TM Forum Members to facilitate a systematic approach by their transformation programs to defining, planning and executing multiple transformation projects that are based on adoption of Open Digital Architecture (ODA) and Open APIs. Typically, these transformation programs run multiple transformation projects in sprints, each with a specific transformation focus, that overlap in time and have dependencies among them. Having a standard systematic approach to these projects simplifies transformation programs and facilitates agile developments.

Currently, the majority of ODA materials are focused on ‘what’ ODA is, and provide less complete coverage on ‘how’ to use ODA.

This Transformation Project Framework provides a taxonomy of common transformation project Work Breakdown items that can be packaged and enhanced by members to plan and execute any ’As-Is’ ‘To Be’ transformation. It also provides direct linkage between standardized Transformation Work Breakdown items and TM Forum Assets, thus making it easier to find relevant ODA assets. It will be supplemented progressively with typical examples showing how the Transformation Project Framework can be used practically.
