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.
