4.30 - 5.00 Tools for EA: Modelling or Analysis? Modelling is often seen an as error-prone, better-to-avoid, part of an Enterprise Architecture initiative. Could an Enterprise Architect start with analysis right away? What type of analysis they need? How results of analysis can be communicated to stakeholders? The proposed presentation goes thru the architecture development lifecycle and illustrates what type of EA tool capabilities can be used to automate the process and deliver stakeholder-oriented results.
