Abstract: It is a complex challenge to align and assess the strategic planning of organizations in the context of the Enterprise Architecture (EA) with the implementation of project portfolios. Thus, this research proposes a library of heuristics that allows evaluating the alignment of project portfolios to the desired qualities, given a strategy and a set of objectives. The heuristics related to the metrics are proposed to enable the measurement of qualities in EA such as reliability, availability, performance, security as well as alignment. Several heuristics are identified for each quality: regarding functionality, it is possible to identify three heuristics, for the quality reliability it is possible to identify one heuristic, for the quality of maintenance it is possible to identify four heuristics, for the quality alignment it is possible to identify nine heuristics and, finally, for the quality dimension it is possible to identify three heuristics. The solution is applied to government projects in the context of identification documents.
