MIKE2.0 Method: An Open‑Source Approach to Information Development
The MIKE2.0 method is an open‑source, integrated‑knowledge‑environment framework that guides enterprises through information development, data governance, and architecture via five structured phases, key structures such as SAFE, and practical task outputs, while also offering community resources and implementation guidance.
MIKE2.0 (Method for Integrated Knowledge Environment) is an open‑source methodology that provides a comprehensive, collaborative approach to enterprise information development and data governance.
Key concepts include:
MIKE stands for Method for Integrated Knowledge Environment.
MIKE2.0 integrates open‑source and Web 2.0 ideas.
The open‑source version is available at openmethodologology.org .
Core structures:
SAFE (Strategic Architecture for the Federated Enterprise) – the future framework architecture.
Information Development – treating information creation like application development.
The method covers the full spectrum of enterprise information management, from strategic concepts to solution architecture, including data governance and strategic information management.
MIKE2.0 defines five phases:
Business Assessment
Technical Assessment
First Iteration – Design, Development, Deployment, Operations
Second Iteration – Design, Development, Deployment, Operations
Third Iteration – Design, Development, Deployment, Operations
Various tasks (e.g., assessing information maturity, defining advanced solution architecture options) are illustrated with QuickScan outputs and example diagrams.
Strategic guidance includes:
Top‑down and bottom‑up strategy formulation.
Quick ROI through data quality and metadata management.
Balancing tactical and strategic plans for continuous improvement.
