 Presentation
A Toolkit for Enterprise
Architects
‘In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance … it was not uncommon
for buildings to fall down soon after completion… The superstitious
attributed these failures to supernatural causes, but to the more knowledgeable,
the real culprits were the architects and the builders who had made fundamental
(though imperfectly understood) errors in design’
Ross King from “Brunelleschi’s Dome".
Today, as in medieval times, the right architectural
decisions and tools are critical if we are to build long-lasting,
adaptable structures or systems.
Enterprise Architects need a toolkit to turn their EA
vision into reality. This session will discuss some of
the tools/artifacts that have been used in practice, along
with the related area which they address:
- Business Alignment Model, Architecture Business
Domains classifications, Architectural Communities
- Tools to insure business/IT alignment
- Life Cycle Plans
- Tool to guide investments for critical applications
and facilitate investment planning
- Target Architecture Model:
- Architecture Fit Assessment and Architecture
Principles
- Tools to support governance
- Position Papers
- Tool to scan new technology and relate to business
needs
