Presentation

EA Governance Practitioner – Law Maker, Enforcer, or Counsel

TOGAF enables architects to establish and manage architecture frameworks, principles and policies; COBIT & CGEIT enables appropriately trained architects to audit our ability to perform these functions; is this all there is to governance of architectures? This paper explores the roles of governance as law maker/politician, enforcer/policeman, and counsel/defense attorney. An example of each role is explored from the perspective of the Enterprise Architect as a practitioner in a services organization. Particular reference is made to TOGAF 9 Phase G Implementation Governance, and TOGAF 9 Architecture Skills Framework.
