Presentation
The Open Group's Work on the EA Profession: The Business Architecture Working Group
Enterprise Architecture has large potential, if practiced with a holistic enterprise scope rather than as extension from IT. This presentation covers findings of The Open Group's Business Architecture Working Group and proposes evolved definitions and descriptions for Enterprise Architecture. This provides a new context for defining Business Architecture.

Key takeaways:
1. Enterprise architecture is encompasses all sub-scopes like IT Architecture
2. Business Architecture is not a grab-bag for everything beyond IT Architecture
3. The Open Group is developing a description of Enterprise Business Architecture
