Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is being adopted aggressively by business firms. SOA is defined as an enabling framework for improving business processes for competitive advantage. This paper analyzes the challenges of deploying SOA through an experiment of case studies in industry and discloses that firms that lead projects of SOA with business and procedural dimensions have more success with SOA than those that lead projects with technical functionality. The paper posits a technology agnostic program management methodology on SOA that is adaptable in the curricula of information systems students. This paper will benefit schools of information systems attempting to educate students on SOA as a new paradigm of 21st century technology.

Keywords: information systems curricula, program management methodology, project management methodologies, service-oriented architecture (SOA), Web services
