Study Notes

Defining Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise architecture is the blueprint for an organization, encompassing its structure, processes, information systems, and infrastructure.
It's a holistic view that integrates business and IT perspectives, bridging the communication gap between stakeholders.
The goal is to facilitate information systems planning and improve business and IT alignment.
EA is a living document that evolves continuously, requiring input from all parts of the organization to ensure mutual understanding and effective communication.

EA Process

EA is a process, not just a product.
It's a cyclical process that starts with an idea and goes through formal modeling, visualization, use, and management.
EA involves various stakeholders, including business executives, business unit managers, IT executives, IT project teams, architects, and third-party consultants.

EA is Not...

EA is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
It's not purely technical planning, but it involves understanding the business context.
EA is not solely about the artifacts, but about the process and the communication between stakeholders.
It cannot magically transform incompetent decisions or actions.
